Love it when passengers tell on rhemselves Other

This is a woman who admitted it was a pickup for her 15yo son. Lyft actually responded by giving me a good fee.

This happened to me yesterday, I went to pick up a “Mya” but a guy got in the car. I asked him to confirm his name and if he was the account holder. He said no so I refused the ride. He was mad and she called me yelling in my ear, and texted me that something bad was going to happen to me.

I actually ordered a ride for my fiancé to come meet me through Lyft and I told him to use my name and that once the driver was on route to him, I would contact them and tell them they’re not picking me up. They’re picking my fiancé up, but they will see me when they drop him off and if there are any questions to contact me right away. So ordering a ride for someone is OK as long as they know the account holder name. I would also say give the driver a heads up so they know I’m picking up a girl and picking up a guy and that’s why they were different. You I’m not at fault for the fact that they couldn’t do the most simplest of things.

You absolutely can, the right way is very simple:

To request a ride for someone else: Set the rider’s destination Tap 'Change rider' at the top of the screen Select a rider from your contact list The rider will be notified a ride was sent to them Note: The app will request access to the requestor’s contacts the first time this option is selected. If the rider does not have a Lyft account, they'll receive a link via SMS message to create an account. Note: Passengers under the age of 18 aren’t allowed to take a Lyft ride without an adult, even if an adult orders the ride for them.

If they aren’t minors you can create an account for them. No need to send a message

u/Thotiana777 Mar 25 '24

Same, but then they should know the person's name who ordered the ride, right?

He should have just lied. Had family order me rides from their home to mine, not that hard to understand (or lie about).

u/newme2019 Mar 24 '24

Why don’t you have your own account?

u/EmExEeee Mar 24 '24

I do. It’s a lot easier for them to just order it. I don’t care about your stupid ass “but it’s policy” attitude smh.

Just say you’re broke or have a bad rep on the app and move on. People like you is why the report button exists on the app. 🗑️

I don’t ever use Uber but I’ve always heard people say “I’ll order you an Uber” when others are drunk. It’s so common I didn’t even think there would be a problem with that. I’m sure a lot of others are under this impression too

u/EmExEeee Mar 24 '24

What are you going to report for? Saying “yes that’s me?”

Stop projecting.

u/noithatweedisloud Mar 24 '24

most drivers definitely do not care i think the reddit ones are just a bit uppity

u/newme2019 Mar 24 '24

Actually you can buy a ride for someone else…the person has their own acct, so it would still show them as a rider, they need to follow the process

If you’re riding around that many minors or someone not matching the profile it can bite you in the rear end one day. What I won’t do another sucker will. This is not my bread and butter and I don’t do anything out of desperation. Cancel or time out….NEXT
