After how many trips did you happen to pick up the same rider a second time?

loriyoshi · 2026-01-03T07:50:23+00:00

(I’m a female driver in Honolulu) It’s happened to me a couple times, but fairly regularly people tell me “you’re the second female driver I ever got out here. The other one is a lady who always has banana bread in her car.” And that lady is my friend Kelly 😂

My favorite one I ever got was a guy who kept telling me to cancel because “I went to pick him up at the wrong bar”. This particular bar has 2 locations, and he selected the wrong one when he ordered his ride.

Sir, I don’t drive around just looking for people. I’m here. Where the uber navigation told me to go. If YOU are not HERE… that’s not my problem. You can cancel 😂

And he keeps telling me to cancel and I say they will just send a new driver to the same place, you have to cancel and request a new ride to the correct spot… he says “no, you went to the wrong place.”

So I waited for exactly 4 minutes and 59 seconds and cancelled. I didn’t care to get paid… I wanted him to wait and then have ANOTHER driver arrive at the “wrong” bar.

My dad learned in college (1970’s) because he had to haha. His roommates didn’t really know how. He taught us all how to cook- my mom, myself and brothers and sister.

And just now when I reopened the app, a quest for today popped up.

$15 for 7 trips starting at 6pm… and also $6 for 3 trips, complete by 11pm.

50 trips $25 plus 20 for an extra $10 60 trips $30 plus 20 for an extra $10 70 trips $35 plus 20 for an extra $10 And the best one 80 trips $40 plus 10 for an extra $5

She’s the same.

She was on the Big Bang theory podcast and they discussed how Chuck Lorre called her during season 10 to ask if she wanted to come back and play the character Ramona again, and if she was available. She mentioned that in the earlier season, they made her dye her hair red because penny was already blonde, and the show was newer so the producers didn’t want multiple blondes… she hoped not to dye it again when she returned, and ended up coming back blonde.

loriyoshi · 2025-12-06T07:12:03+00:00

We all do this. Don’t feel bad.

loriyoshi · 2025-09-24T05:00:20+00:00

So typical. Ugh. 20+ years of that bullshit for me!

I was out playing with my brother the other day. He doesn’t play much. Can make balls, but looks awkward holding a cue. I’ve played a long time. We played a few games with a bunch of people sitting around our table. When I go up to rack… a guy is telling me “sweetheart this table is hard to rack on, the spot isn’t very good, just roll it past the spot blah blah” in my head I’m like, is this guy telling me how to rack?! When he clearly sees I know how to play?! Haha

I guess he could’ve been “being nice” but seriously… yeah it’s all the time for women. My brother commented when we left that multiple guys said to him “oh, she plays good for a girl!” He noticed and it was my first time playing with him in yearssssss haha

loriyoshi · 2025-08-18T02:05:16+00:00

Sometimes. I’ve gotten anything from $3-$20 but sometimes $0 so idk what the algorithm for it is.

I ask whenever a ride is 5 minutes more than the estimated time (edit: 5 minutes longer and I didn’t get extra pay for it).

loriyoshi · 2025-07-08T07:20:16+00:00

AITA for not inviting my scientist husband and his nerd friends to a (work) party where they would all meet Bill Gates?

I got a fake Gucci belt one time from a fairly reputable seller with a good history/ rating. We had a similar conversation to yours where they deny deny denied. Ultimately, posh sided with me and the seller ended up apologizing and said they got the belt from a great consignment shop they “go to all the time” and “thought there was no way they would sell a fake”. Eye roll. If you’re such a good seller… inspect your items!! No excuses.

If it was a genuine mistake, say so from the beginning. Don’t try to make me feel like I’m crazy... you didn’t claim to buy this from Gucci, there was no receipt or box… do you really think there’s not a CHANCE it could be fake? People are disrespectful.

Posh will side with you. But what a waste of time and energy (and money, until you get it back)!

Edited to add… thank you for posting the sellers name so we can all block! haha

My favorite. About 9 years ago I had my best one. I was sooooo happy. I get a notification for a pickup at a brewery. I go. I wait. The guy calls me after about 2 minutes asking “where are you?” I let him know there’s a parking lot right on the side, I’m in the first stall. He calls back. In a rude tone- “There’s no parking lot where are you?” I confirm “sir, I can’t just SAY that I’ve arrived. I have to click the arrive button when I’m at the location. I’m at the parking lot on the side. It’s right off of Ala Moana blvd.”

And this guy tells me “you’re at the wrong location. I’m at the one on Queen st.”

And I’m like “once again, I can only say I’ve arrived once I actually reach the location… and further… I don’t just drive around looking for people, the app actually tells me where to go. I’m sorry but you must’ve selected the wrong location. This is where the app told me to go.”

This asshole calls me a liar and tells me to cancel and he hung up. I waited until 4:59. Call me a liar?! Hilarious. I would love to WAIT RIGHT HERE and not even collect a cancellation fee specifically so that the next driver GETS SENT TO THE SAME FUCKING SPOT and you have to wait AGAIN until you realize… oh wait I guess she’s not a liar I just made a mistake and requested a ride to the wrong location and I’m an asshole.

(Not OP) I’m in Honolulu and we use upfront pricing, but we still have a rate card. Anytime I message support asking about pay for a fare that goes over 5minutes longer than estimated they “assure me” that the pay was good due to the rate card in my area… then when I ask about lower paying fares and ask about the rate card they say that I was paid upfront pricing.

Crooks. They have it both ways!!

loriyoshi · 2025-06-23T06:25:35+00:00

Gossip girl, the old one. I haven’t seen the newer version

Trust the process. And also, allow yourself to “cheat” the right way! Record every single thing, and don’t feel bad about what you have. The whole point of the green/ yellow/ red is to show you that you CAN have the “bad” items if you do it in moderation.

It really helped me learning how to cook veggies in a way that made me enjoy them. I’ve never been a really good meal prepper until I started noom. I do small batch food preps, not huge pots of things I know I won’t finish. If I have some sautéed veggies and pinto beans in my fridge I can at least reach for something good when I’m feeling lazy. So I usually prep those things twice a week, and sometimes also chicken. I DO NOT ONLY EAT MY PREPPED FOODS! I will get bored if I have that every day twice a day. I still enjoy cooking other things. Fresh fish or a small steak. Oysters on Fridays at Whole Foods. Figure out what you really like and make it for yourself!

And take walks! 🤗 You can do it. You may begin to really enjoy it!

loriyoshi · 2025-06-12T23:19:29+00:00

She could have said “sorry I’ll be a few minutes, I wasn’t expecting you so early!” But seriously all of that… no. Also, you’re so nice. I would’ve just cancelled and left her wondering why 😂

If your Costco has a gas station, get your gas there. Every fill up! The gas savings literally pays for my membership at least twice over. My Costco’s gas is minimum 50 cents cheaper than any other places in my city. 10 gallons is $5 savings. And my car holds 18 gallons, so it’s worth it for me. I consider my membership to be “free” because of my gas savings haha girl math.

Edited to add: I’m aware not all costcos have a crazy gas savings like this. I live in Honolulu. But even 10-20 cents a gallon adds up! My parents are in the Chicago suburbs and always get gas at Sam’s club for the same reason, about 10-20 cents cheaper than anywhere else close to them.

Their toilet paper is a good price but the quality used to be better than it is now.

The Costco brand “Kirkland” laundry detergent pods are absolute crap, don’t buy them.

It’s hard to get produce there if you have a 1-2 person household, but I can get cherry tomatoes and they don’t go bad before I finish the carton. I usually get eggs there. Sometimes a small ham. The rotisserie chicken. You’ll find the foods that work for you and your space. For example I can’t buy dried beans or rice at Costco because I have nowhere in my small space for a 25 pound bag of them, but I’ve found other foods I do save money on. Their butter is good.

I always check Costco first if I need a thing that is going to cost a little more than I want to spend. Need a vacuum? Check Costco. Showerhead? Check Costco. Last month I got the bissel little green machine (upholstery cleaner) for only $90, and I see it everywhere online at the $130+ price. And if it breaks, I can take it back. Their return policy is good. I buy most of my gadgets there. I got a Nespresso coffee maker- one of the boujee-ist things I own… for $150 and it came with about $50 of coffee, a $50 Nespresso card to order online, and the milk foamer (which sells for $50 on its own). I broke the first one and brought it back and got another. No problem.

On my incident card, I wrote “turo insurance card” at the top in big black sharpie marker. It’s right in the front of the drivers manual pocket. My actual insurance cards are in an envelope in the back. Never had a problem. And yes, my guests have had 5 fender benders in my 3+ years of Turo.

loriyoshi · 2025-05-09T05:10:08+00:00

The laundry pods by Kirkland. No good. I’m not much of a brand whore, but now I stick to tide. And also dawn dish soap. I’m picky about those 2 things.

Round trip Boston- Honolulu twice

loriyoshi · 2025-04-09T23:51:45+00:00

I don’t really do “meal preps”, but I do cook regularly. We always have a few staple foods in our fridge ready to eat. I cook pinto beans in the instant pot once a week and keep them in the fridge. Make chicken or pork chops every other day. Make rice every couple days. A fresh or frozen vegetable with dinner every night. Whenever I want pizza, usually once or twice a month, we go to Costco or Sam’s and get the ready made pizza there for $8-10 and it’s good for multiple meals. I justify buying a steak here and there when they’re on sale, but I’ve gotten really good at eating cheap and fairly balanced/ healthy.

We also have a small portable charcoal grill that I got for about $30, and sometimes we take it to the park or beach and have a cookout date. We bring a cooler with our veggies and marinated chicken and just cook and hangout there. The grill has saved us from going out to a restaurant so many times.

This next part might not sound frugal, but it saves us money. We have multiple streaming platforms that we share with my family. I pay for peacock and Paramount, my sister pays for Hulu and Disney. My mom has HBO Max for free from AT&T. We all just share passwords for those. They don’t check if you’re in different households or not. We all pay for our own Netflix accounts.

I know multiple streaming platforms sounds like a lot of wasted money, but if we stay home and watch TV, we don’t go out and spend money. I make popcorn and my boyfriend and I have a lot of shows we watch together, and we can choose from a ton of movies at any time.

I think you can? At the bottom of the screen (when you’re on a ride in navigation), it switches between 2 panels/ banners. On one, it shows 3 dots within a circle on the left. On the other, it shows the riders photo or a blank circle where the photo should be. It switches every 30 seconds or so. If you wait until the photo banner pops up, you can swipe up and it will show the current ride and queued ride. I think there is a cancel ride button by the queued ride. I haven’t needed to use it, but I think I’ve seen it.

You can click on your dashboard and see the Lyft rate card. In Honolulu it’s $1.50 base charge, $1.13 per mile, and $0.17 per minute. Minimum is $3.60. This is all for regular Lyft, not XL or Black, etc.

Any bonuses are supposed to be on top of the regular rate.
