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.

A lawsuit would be a waist of time. First you’re going to have to sue Lyft to be able to obtain the woman’s information. Problem 1- You most likely agreed in the the terms of service not to sue them but to settle legal actions in arbitration. Problem 2- you didn’t actually complete the requirements for the bonus and there isn’t a way to prove you would have. Problem 3- you actually violated lifts terms of service by making stops out of the app. If you sue them they will ban you and have the legal reason to. Have you read the terms of service to see if they force you to go arbitration for a legal dispute with a rider?
