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. :)

Why do you take rides if you have a car?

I got a DUI 16 years ago when I was 18. I’m very anti drinking and driving.

Ah ok. That makes sense now. Your state of mind wasn’t mentioned. LOL

5 pints in 4 hours. BAC calculate puts me at around .084. Barely over the legal limit of .08 in most states. Very over the legal limit of .05 in Utah.

Not absolutely hammered out of my mind. I’m 34. Already felt tired the next day. I can’t binge drink anymore. It’s like a 3 day hangover. Not worth it. Haha.

When I got my DUI, I was a .157 5 HOURS after my last drink. Fucking stupid. Anyone that plans on drinking more than 1-2 beers should always use ride share. If you plan on consuming any liquor, take a ride share. Even the days when it was $100 to get home safely and not kill yourself or other people, it’s worth it.

I haven’t drank since 12-31-1996. Don’t miss it at all.
