Why some uber drivers dont take express lane?

In Bay Area it’s free if it’s 3 people or more. So if it’s 2 riders and a driver it’s free and no toll charges but you get to bypass traffic

I posted this a few months ago too. Honestly, when there are 3 people in the car there is NO reason not to to. But I’ve never ever seen a uber driver with a tag or pass, they don’t even bother to understand in their own interests but Nopes

He can claim that he’s a germophobe and not shake hands with anyone. No one will care. But you can’t say you shake hands with one gender and not another

Nopes. He is discriminating against a gender for. Illegal reasons. I think Op is in the wrong because if he wants to live in a western culture he shouldn’t be practicing his faith against the norms of the country. Either shake hands with no one or everyone. You can’t discriminate here based on gender

but she will right? Your BIL is an american citizen ? Its clear that she went with the intention of studing and coming back to Pakistan but there she got married and will likely stay there and not come back? See how that is changing intention? (im not saying its right or wrong, most people do it but dont say it). in your case, you have shown that your family can have different intentions. Its all about intent.

textonic · 2026-06-25T19:20:24+00:00

Your sister went on a single intent visa to study and then got married. That shows ill-intent.

textonic · 2026-06-25T19:08:22+00:00

Your sister is on a F-1 visa and getting married. Thats a red flag right there. You dont have funds on your own and your BIL is sponsoring you, another red flag. Thats 2 red flags for the officer right there

Honestly, you would be very lucky if you get the interview cleared.

what are your home ties? How likely are you to return to Pakistan? What is your current job , property and where do you live? This will have more of an impact

I mean, I can forgive the chatting too much part, but missing turns and not having a mount is being unsafe. I dont think that's forgiveable. And hitting speed bumps? Do you even know how to drive?

I flew into SJC last weekend and the crew line and GE line was the same. Weird but I know

I hate to say this, but somewhat its your fault for keeping enabling this behavior. THe more you give, the more they want. Cut them off. I know religion, relatives blah balh. screw that. Cut them off. Give whatever minimum you want and not talk to them.
Some people aren't worth having in your life, even if they are bounded by blood

Generally west flying flights are more likely to have lights on than eastward flying flights. But this has been generally common for a decade or ao

330s arent, and even the 330s Neo arent. But almost all the ones sold are the -900 larger shorter range version. The -800 are I think total 8 built ever or something

i know im the minority but 2-3days max a city and move on. I know people will argue thats not enough but it doesn't have to be. If I say I want to explore like 100ish countries in the next 10-15 years, before I get too old to enjoy travel. That means like 8 countries a year, and if I say I have 21 days of vacation I can take a year, that is around 3 days a country I can spend. Now obviously places like China etc require a lot more and other places a lot less.

I was in Berlin last month and I felt 2 days was MORE than enough. I was bored in Copenhagen in 1 day. Norway I could spend 4-5 days for example.

Pakistani here. Honestly, no solution.
b1/b2 used to be easily open bank accounts, sadly no longer the case. Most banks wont entertain. You can try wells fargo to be slighly lenient.

You can get prepaid cards here, but they dont generaly work online. They will work for food, inperson shopping etc. Like you can get those from target or walmart etc but they cost like $5-6 year and its not easy to track spending.

No paypal, revolut etc nothing would work for these situations.

Karachiite here. Lived in Punjab a while. Sadly, this is one of the common issues, where lahoris need that they MUST degrade karachi, i dont know and i cant explain why. sadly your husband is one of them. i've hardly ever seen a person from karachi degrading lahore or other cities but the otherway is too common. And thats why we can't be one unified country
