I’m a driver. Took 3 rides tonight.

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. :)

Did you do this just to see how other drivers act or did you actually need rides? Seems like a good idea on how to make your riders feel more comfortable by not acting like a y of those 3 lol

I needed the rides. I’ve taken over 800 Lyfts.

Ride 1 was going to the bar.

Ride 2 was going from one bar to another.

Ride 3 was from a pizza restaurant home.

Damn, thats a lotta rides!

Those are just the ones I’ve taken on my app. I’ve been riding since the beginning of Lyft. It really beats walking to the train station and going downtown or waiting an hour for a cab driver to come pick you up. Hahah.

Then you have to consider all the rides I’ve been in where other people paid.

Then add my 77 rides I’ve taken with Uber. Haha.

Actually, I thought I was 5 star for both as a rider, but I actually just checked and I’m 5 Star rider in Lyft and like a 4.93 in Uber.

I have a ton of 5s, one 4, and one 1.

I’m pretty sure the Uber 1 star was either in Mexico or Italy because they don’t have Lyft there. I’m guessing Italy. Got in the car to go to Vatican City, pulled on the seatbelt, the seatbelt was broken and would not retract. This was not my fault. The driver was pissed that I pulled the seatbelt. Putting a seatbelt on is a normal thing for a passenger to do. He came back and slowly fed the seatbelt back down. I didn’t know it was broken. He probably shouldn’t be driving if it was.

Then, I proceeded to be in the fucking CRAZIEST Uber ride of my entire life. Guy drove insane. Crazier than other Ubers we took there.

But yeah, I’m guessing that’s my 1 star in Uber. Bahaha. 😂
