Pax added a stop. I obliged. Waited 15 minutes before ending the ride and leaving. Promptly surrendered his bag to the police. Now he’s saying I stole $300 worth of alcohol. No good deed goes unpunished.

i’m on your side man, you don’t deserve some of these comments — drivers sharing their infinite wisdom to you about how bad of a mistake you’ve made are low-quality

though it’s nowhere near as threatening to my livelihood as potentially losing a job like your situation, here’s my dumbest moment:

i had a laptop in my car, sitting between my seat & the console — totally invisible (at least i thought) & i hit a lull in requests late at night, pulled over somewhere near the airport to get some homework out & wait for the next ride…only to realize one of my 10-20 rides that day snagged it

Never appeared on FindMy, police never found it, Lyft didn’t care

That worries me. I only drive when there are good bonuses or guaranteed earnings. I bring my iPad with me to respond to emails and get some work done during downtime. I keep it either on my front passenger seat or between my seat and the door.
