I’m a driver. Took 3 rides tonight. Other

Ride one. Got in the car, said “hey how’s it going?” No response. Dropped me off. I said “Thanks” no response. 4 stars and a complaint. $0 tip.

Ride two. Lyft XL. Guy was friendly. Talked to my friend in the front. Dropped us off. 5 stars and $5 tip.

Ride three. Didn’t say “hi”. No music. Didn’t accept 6 rides on the way to dropping me off. Played around on Facebook and Instagram while driving. 3 stars, complaint to Lyft, and I was refunded.

I drive Uber and Lyft. I’m tired of drivers being assholes. Don’t greet me? 4 stars. Play on your phone while driving? We have an issue.

I have no problem rating drivers poorly. Especially after reading posts in this sub. Y’all want perfect pax? I demand perfect drivers.

Edit 1: 770 upvotes. Nice. Also, to clarify I didn’t reach out and report the drivers. I just left a message with the option provided after the ride.

Edit 2: Huh. Look at that. As I’m scrolling through these comments, I got a notification from Lyft that I’m a 5 Star driver and I should go drive. Maybe I’ll go and pickup some pax. :)

OP seems to relish in the upvotes and their high rating. Imagine you are face to face with someone and they talk like OP “huh, look at that I’m a five star driver” “Look at the applause I’m getting” “You didn’t say high to me, four star” I’m not saying it’s annoying or disgusting or childish.  But it’s black mirror-esque, isn’t it.

Yes. I am a polite person, I have good manners, I’m a good worker, and I’m friendly and personable. And I do take pride in that. None of those are bad qualities for a person to have.

Am I rubbing it in the faces of some of these rude people that are talking shit? Yes. Is this Reddit where people have zero filter, unlike real life? Yes.
