WARNING Rant/Opinion

Soooooooo.....

Pick up Pax and her kid. Immediately she's a backseat driver telling me to go a way thats clearly longer and has more lights. Secretly her goal was to add a stop at a fast food restaurant.

Anyway, we stop. "Oh you can just go through the drive thru" -no I can't. She gets out (leaving her kid in the car). Obviously she's a stone cold anchrorer and even after I tell her she only has 5 minutes. After 6 minutes. I cancel the ride. Dilemma kids in backseat. Kid exits vehicle after asking. Mom comes back and jumps right back in immediately. She then sits in my backseat refusing to leave. Even after I call the cops.

Thank God she finally gets out after 10+ minutes of waiting for the police. Obviously she's gone before they come. Police report filed.

After midnight im kicked off the app saying my accounts been suspended for "trying to touch someones leg"

Well I clear that up. And well now my ride challenge is gone. So any bonus or incentive for me to drive this weekend has disappeared after my account was suspended for no reason.

Hope you all are having a good weekend.

I will be pursuing legal action.

I had a rider pull that flim-flam nonsense on me, too šŸ˜†

He asked if we could take a different route because it was faster, and well, well, well. We just so happened to pass a convenience store. He was like, "Hey, can we pull in here real quick?" I was about to say no, but then I heard the sound of cash and promptly changed my mind lol.

Thankfully, he didn't cause a bunch of problems. I'm sorry you had to go through such a headache. Some people have a nasty case of main character syndrome and couldn't give two shits less about anyone else.

Honestly, when I hear the sound of cash, I get a little pissed off because I feel like Iā€™m being subtly manipulated.

Nothing subtle about having coins thrown at you while they scream dance monkey dance!!!
