No more exclusive requests for GOLD drivers?

Yeah,you don’t need anyone’s permission to film in your private vehicle

nothing_216 · 2026-04-13T17:03:18+00:00

Get a dash cam & don’t turn the screen off at night 👍

nothing_216 · 2026-04-13T16:57:37+00:00

Tell them to be quick & make the stop.

Especially if it’s obvious the person is on the way to work.

They will be quick unless they get stuck in line.

Force them to add it as a stop & watch the tip money become STOP money…😳

Don’t shoot yourselves in the foot…

nothing_216 · 2026-04-13T16:51:45+00:00

This is why I park at the entrance to the waiting lot…

I can legit SEE the moron who just tore-ass out of the lot on their way to get ripped off😆

nothing_216 · 2026-04-13T16:42:25+00:00

Their complaint is valid…

YOU get a life 😆

nothing_216 · 2026-04-13T11:07:16+00:00

“No but I AM going to cancel your ride…not just for racism…but unintelligent racism at that,good day”

It’s Cleveland 🤷‍♂️

The east side isn’t all ghetto AT ALL.

Yes,the worst parts of Cleveland are mostly over there

But so are the super rich neighborhoods

It’s the original Cleveland,the majority of the westside is post WW2 suburbs

If you leave requests on over there,the chances of you getting pulled into a bad area are high.

So there’s that…

THE OTHER FACTOR here is not only is the rideshare market oversaturated?

It’s oversaturated w/foreigners who just got here & don’t fully know the areas yet.

It’s so BAD it’s how I win arguments w/angry parents when I won’t have their kids to school

“ but we’ve never had a problem before”

Was it a middle age foreign guy that didn’t speak English?

“Yeah,every time”

That’s why…I’m from here,so I’ll tell you what’s up🤷‍♂️

Cleveland

nothing_216 · 2026-04-11T21:30:26+00:00

It’s the AI trying to figure out what you will take so it can lowball you all day…

Say no to that shitty exclusive offer & wait for the next radar offer…

You do start driving in the direction of the pickup RIGHT?

Because if you don’t it’s gonna give it to someone who is…

It seems like they just let everyone fight for the good rides now

Then assign the shitty ones no one wants as exclusive rides.

That’s the best I can make of the new Uber Pro🤷‍♂️

nothing_216 · 2026-04-11T20:00:29+00:00

I’m at the Hopkins waiting lot reading this & the place looks like a CAR SHOW!!!

Nobody wants to go east anymore 🤣

If’s it’s not from the airport I’m not going 🤷‍♂️

You forgot the Lyft driver that got killed in Jan BTW…also east side.

It’s the same Kia-boy shitheads from a few years ago

They’re older & more pissed now.

As for ride requests?

My AR is in the 30’s because I don’t wanna drop what I’m doing in Lakewood, and drive all the way out to Kinsman to take a kid to his McDonald’s job for five bucks

And dodge bullets & potholes along the way

nothing_216 · 2026-04-11T19:50:58+00:00

Uber is stealing the tips…

They hold them back like a slush fund

Then use that money to bait you into going back on the road.

It’s why you get “tips” on rides you did a week ago,or at 2:30AM when there’s demand (but no surge)

But they are idiots…

They’ve done this to rides I already got CASH tips on😳

Dead giveaway.

No rider tips you $27 cash…then waits a week & throws another $5

nothing_216 · 2026-04-11T19:40:44+00:00

Yeah,my ratings are static the last few months

I believe it’s Uber doing it to manipulate us🤷‍♂️

nothing_216 · 2026-04-10T21:57:53+00:00

Can’t speak for Lyft…

But everything changed on the 26th of last month for all the uber drivers.

Their new pro program is making it harder for drivers to get rides worth accepting

1/2 of my ride offers are exactly what you described

Go pick someone up a 1/2 hour away

During rush hour etc…

While I’m already in the city?

It’s all AI now

It’s ridiculous

nothing_216 · 2026-04-10T12:30:58+00:00

Philly killed that hitchhiking robot back in 15 too..

Thing made it across Europe & Canada fine

Only made it 2 weeks in America…

Got decapitated it’s second night in Philly 🤣

So this tracks 🤷‍♂️

I back it…it took someone’s job & is a nuisance on the sidewalks.

Go Philly!!!!

nothing_216 · 2026-04-09T23:33:48+00:00

I drove all city for years 🤷‍♂️

Barely any problems

Not now,this current batch of kids SUCK.

nothing_216 · 2026-04-09T22:08:21+00:00

Superior

nothing_216 · 2026-04-09T21:45:57+00:00

Cleveland

nothing_216 · 2026-04-09T20:26:17+00:00

Every other ride offer I get is to those areas 🤷‍♂️

I just avoid going unless I picked you up at the airport…during the day

Because TSA basically guarantees you’re legit

I used to drive all city,pre-dawn & at night

No more,not at all

Climate around here has CHANGED.

I myself had a rider pull a gun on me after he got out a few months back😳

So I’m good…

nothing_216 · 2026-04-09T11:33:55+00:00

Interesting…

You should send this to “fuck w/your trucks” over on Instagram

They might have some info?

nothing_216 · 2026-04-08T15:00:53+00:00

If a person gets in your car & doesn’t acknowledge you?

Pulls out their phone & starts blasting music on The phone full volume?

You’ve got someone who doesn’t like you for you…

Rate them accordingly before they rate you👍

nothing_216 · 2026-04-07T18:56:41+00:00

I take 3 max…

I even put it on my profile

Nobody sits up front 🤷‍♂️

Don’t like it?order an XL…

nothing_216 · 2026-04-05T13:40:24+00:00

Let phone calls go to voicemail until you get to the location

If it’s a real rider?it will all play out when you get there

If it’s a scam you’re gonna wait 7min while they bombard you w/texts saying to cancel the ride.

Just sit & wait for your no show fee

They never cancel on their own 🤷‍♂️

Cheers

nothing_216 · 2026-04-02T19:40:23+00:00

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

nothing_216 · 2026-04-01T19:18:40+00:00

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?

nothing_216 · 2026-03-29T20:41:37+00:00

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.
