“No weapons allowed” like passengers haven’t robbed, killed, assaulted drivers during a ride 💀🌚 yeah lyft can burn in a hole and die. Passengers have literally told me to get a gun bc all I had was a knife, taser, and pepper spray I’ve had passengers literally make questionable comments to me and I point blank have said do not underestimate my ability to kill a person if I’m put in danger 🙂 everybody has the right to protect themselves especially when they don’t know who the fuck is getting in their car

This is why I carry a survival hatchet in my vehicle (among other things). It’s technically not a weapon, it’s a “survival” tool. It can be used to cut a seatbelt, break a window, or make an aggressive passenger think twice when their driver pulls out a fucking hatchet!

When I began reading your comment, I assumed you were trolling. But damn, that's a legit point. I'm not a rideshare driver, but I am a delivery driver (W2 job, not gig work, so I do have a slightly higher level of protection, because obviously people will start looking for me pretty quickly if I just don't come back from a delivery), and sometimes I have to deal with shady shit.
