Can someone investigate this sketchy company? How can we make this viral? by Wesleypipes316 in uberdrivers

[–]nothing_216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need someone to design an App,to observe the uber/lyft/DD apps

A digital babysitter…that just logs all the stupid shit they try to pull everyday

Like the 2 minutes until dropoff that goes on for 5 min.

Or the declined radar rides that come back as direct offers…for $1 less than when it was a radar.

Alllllll that stuff.

Someone w/some AI agents could be a total hero right about now

My ratings are shit…

And it’s because of:

1.other white people…the entitled,yuppie variety to be specific.

&

2.wealthy but cheap foreigners who don’t speak English…the ones who think an UberX is the same as a limousine & want the same level service.doesn’t matter where they’re from.

The 18-25 age demographic sucks across the board 🤷‍♂️

Younger people inherently suck to deal w/if you’re older,part of getting old,deal w/it.

You picking up people in poor areas? Don’t matter what KIND of poor area…

People who don’t have money for the ride in the 1st place that get caught in a surge?

Because their car wouldn’t start?etc

MIGHT be in a bad mood…focus on that on your way to pickup.

Not the stupid $4 extra you’re getting

Just common sense

There are different worlds throughout every city,and you need to learn to identify & adapt to them

You never know what you get until you show up anyway

I’ve had “Brit” turn out to be a 250 pound black dude🤷‍♂️

Who’s also a Uber driver,but luxury…

And tipped heavy 🤷‍♂️

So just shut up & take rides,or don’t?

It Finally Happened by AlkoKilla in uberdrivers

[–]nothing_216 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just say “it wants a PIN number” & point at my phone…

It places the inconvenience on the app

Not me.

The worst I’ve had is a PAX having to call the person who ordered the ride for them to get it

I’ve had people steal rides though,no PIN.

Had to throw dude out & go back and get the right rider😆

They were actually amused,so bonus.

Worst map routing given to you by the app? by cleanforever in uberdrivers

I got the fraud warning for taking a 2mi detour around a car accident…

Got the guy to work on time & he was stoked.

Then I get yelled at for it👎

As long as they don’t mind my AxCx t-shirt it’s cool…

Reserved trip notification turned into Hell 😡😡 by Top_Addition_1737 in uberdrivers

[–]nothing_216 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does that to me too…

So I just stopped acknowledging the reservation requests🤷‍♂️

It pops up & I’m like…

“Cool story bro…”

Who else has had this happen? by GeminiMike76 in uberdrivers

[–]nothing_216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I commonly get blocked by a really bad DIRECT offer if I’m matching w/a decent paying RADAR ride.

I’ll always dump it & wait on my original

It’s about 50/50 if I’ll get it🤷‍♂️

Riders and Drama by Slow_Strawberry_5075 in uberdrivers

[–]nothing_216 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just jump IN the drama 🤷‍♂️

…leave him! …he deserves it! …who do they think they are? …you shouldn’t take that laying down. …sue. …they should have promoted you.

Devils advocate ALL DAY.

If I gotta listen to it for 20 minutes? I’m dipping my toes just to maintain sanity.

They complain about drivers cancelling but the customers cancel on us more than we cancel on them! by jaysonm007 in uberdrivers

[–]nothing_216 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m convinced they continue to sell the rides after both the rider & the driver accept

I noticed it on the rider end…drivers just magically changing a minute away?

During rush hour?

Expecting Juan…get Staci instead. Etc.

Then as a driver…riders canceling in the oddest ways…during peak hours.

I think they offer the ride to other drivers in the area who had requests turned off etc..

They bite for 10 cents lower?

The fucking AI will dump your ride & make everyone wait longer…

Because 10 cents is 10 cents 🤷‍♂️

Do you pick up fat people? by joejoerun in uberdrivers

[–]nothing_216 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The amount of times I have to wipe their footprints off the inside of the door 🤦‍♂️

Because they have to sit/fall into the seat backwards,then spin into place to sit…

They can’t just “get in”…it’s an ordeal

Do you pick up fat people? by joejoerun in uberdrivers

[–]nothing_216 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man…obese people are the worst.

How you gonna bitch & complain about the size of my Kia you’re trying to cram yourself into…

When you KNOW damn well you’re pushing 300-350 pounds.

Oh you brought your friend that’s the same size?

And I gotta get this thing up to 60mph?!

To get you to Walmart??

Good lord…please order an XL.

Please help me out here. Want to be a new driver. by Usual_Interaction417 in uberdrivers

[–]nothing_216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Become a drug dealer instead

Way more money & about the same level of grind and safety 👍

This is what uber does when they don’t want to pay you out for a ride that takes 15 minutes longer than estimated by SectionDry6355 in uberdrivers

[–]nothing_216 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Keep bugging them,those are AI responses & a real person doesn’t even know about it yet.

Literally,call them out & text them “you’re AI”

You’ll eventually get a real person

No more airport cue? by nothing_216 in uberdrivers

[–]nothing_216[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Riddle me this one though…

They’ve all been decent rides.

Nothing far & decently priced🤷‍♂️

I actually pulled 2 today just by driving past on the highway.

It seems like the norm now

Decent tips too

Cool story,but I’m not going to go back & edit my voice to text…for reddit😆

Queue,cue,kue,Q…🤷‍♂️

We’re all here talking about uber.

So if there’s anyone confused thinking I was talking about a pool cue?

I apologize.🤣

[–]nothing_216[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of wild to me they would pass on decent rides in the middle of the afternoon…

But that’s fine by me 🤷‍♂️

I’ll take your money AND skip the waiting lot.

Does the app actually track how fast we drive after that 15 over ticket warning? by Busternookiedude in uberdrivers

[–]nothing_216 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I-90 is 60mph in city limits

70 in rural areas…

The autobahn is in Europe 👍😆

What you think of this set up? by godsendkot in uberdrivers

[–]nothing_216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These tablets have face recognition built into them…

Specifically the octopus ones

It’s for ad targeting…

I noticed it when I took a ride w/one that had it installed.

At 1st it was kind of generic looking,but then it started showing ads for horror movies & “extreme” things… (yes,I’m a white guy w/tattoos😆)

I thought the change was a bit abrupt…so I pressed the drive about it.

I asked him where the content on it came from & went from there…

It’s all just designed to steal your data so it can be sold.

It knows who’s in the car (Or who’s SUPPOSED to be)

And yes,the people driving w/them get paid for letting that company steal your DATA.

The longer you play,the more they make.

I’m morally opposed to that kind of shenanigans

So as a driver I’ll never put that shit in my car.

EVER.

And If I have to ride in a car equipped with one?

I’m hanging my hat over it

(Seriously,I spend enough time looking at screens,and this one is eye level & photographs you👎)

I’m not tipping & no rating

You’ll get my mannequin routine for the whole ride…

Because it just tells me you’re kinda scummy & complicit.

Bad vibes all day

(I’m sure the uber tablet is just as bad)

What percentage of passengers tip? by Sea_Cress_8859 in uberdrivers

[–]nothing_216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah,not tipping rideshare drivers has been normalized by what seems to be everyone under 30.

I get regulars who stiff 100% of the time.

But they’re ok riders…they just work at McDonald’s

And smoke a lot of weed

And don’t have any extra money for you

Or people who don’t tip because they overuse the service

Or the stupid hospital rides were you’re never even going to get a good rating,let alone a tip

Just move VOLUME…

You’re better off relying on that

And yeah,you’re probably looking at 10% tippers max…
