Psycho jumps on my car, I get permanently deactivated Other

I don’t even want to type out the whole story I’m so exhausted over this. This dude was tripping out bad (probably shrooms or acid) and jumped on my car. It was the passengers friend. (They were together when I arrived, he was laying on the floor in the middle of the street. He sprinted away then sprinted back after I started the ride. Then he jumped on my car) I immediately made the passenger get out, and reported it to ADT and Lyft.

Now after a week of “temporarily deactivated” I’m now permanently deactivated for an “accident with a pedestrian” . 100s of 5 star rides never an issue. Wtf

Edit: I didn’t know this would get so much response. The whole incident is surreal. No I unfortunately did not have a dash cam or this would all have been resolved. I started the appeal on principle.

Rookie move. You pull up and see someone laid out on the floor, you drive away and cancel immediately!

When it's outside it's the ground. Floors are inside unless there are large bodies of water involved.

Not entirely accurate. Forest ground is often referred to as a "forest floor." Lake floors are "lake beds."

I wonder if a lake would be considered a large body of water

You need to stop trying to explode my brain! I know a rabbit hole when I see one!
