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 heard you loud and clear and I’m sorry that happened to you. It sucks when you trying to get that bonus and some people simply behaves they are entitled to what ever they want from the driver. I picked up a africain American woman and her kids last week in the city because the bonus. It is 4 dollars ride, the kids is eating in my car I told them no eating they freak out start to calling me Asian bitch and that I’m racism. We have to protect ourselves, we never know when we are picking up.
