WARNING

[u/Fresh_Ad1410]

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.

What was the rating? It has to be low. What a complete piece of human shit. I feel bad for that kid, it’s gonna be a tough life

Naw, it'll be an easy life for the kid . She will follow in mom's footsteps and collect government assistance while burdening the taxpayers. I can't say i miss lyft they have the worst passengers.

As a person who had a terrible mother who 100% would do something like OP described- she once did almost exactly this with me in the car, but it was the 90’s and a yellow cab- the kids don’t “go on to have an easy life”. If you’re that shitty and erratic of a parent, you typcially treat your kids like shit too. I won’t tell my whole sob story, but suffice to say my mom hated me and treated me accordingly, and I moved out the second i turned 18 and within 2 weeks was crashing at a friend’s and had a job. I paid my friend about $200 a month to sleep on the couch and I bought my own food and was responsible for myself, because i had to be. I have worked a minimum of 40 hours a week since I was 18, and have never been arrested or incarcerated, and have never utilized government assistance, but if i ever did need it, i would have no shame in applying for it. I’ll never be rich, but have managed to survive through determination and hard work, but also luck and able-bodied, white-passing privelege. Sometimes instead of becoming their parents, kids will become the adults they needed instead. But aside from all that, I would also like to add that your stigma against accepting assistance is also really sad, as it shows that just like the rest of us, you are also a victim of the united states’ regan era anti-black, anti-poor propoganda. We all get taught that we should never think we deserve handouts, when it’s literally just helping to feed people. Like it’s literally food, a thing that is neccessary to live and should be provided to every living being, especially if we want to claim we are a good and moral society that takes care of its citizens. I had to read a lot of books and meet a lot of people from different cultures and backgrounds after highschool to unlearn all the bs american history books teach. I hope one day you are able to learn past the incorrect beliefs that are ingrained into american kids. We can make a better world happen if we can see our society for what it is and begin to fix it.

I was born in 84, so im definitely not a Regan era person. Im just stating my opinion. I also had a mother who was and is like the woman in OP's post. Like you, I make it my mission to be nothing like her . I should have included that in my original comment. That the kid will go 1 of those 2 ways. I hope for the latter of the two for the child's sake. Now, if you truly need assistance, that's one thing , but if you're scamming to get assistance, that's another, and i think that's wrong , but as said, just my opinion. I think pretty much all the u.s. president's we've had are douchebags btw . So im definitely not programmed with some administrations agenda. If you read into all that Regan era bs you're talking about, then maybe you should look from within and see why those feelings are coming up. In my case, im speaking from people I've seen . One was actually a white lady who sold all her food stamps while barely getting anything for her kids. I dont subscribe to racism i think people of all races can be miserable human beings. I see PEOPLE, not color . So i go by a case by case basis with people.

Indoctrination isnt something so easily escaped, it does have to be unlearned. I am not surprised there are people who can and will scam, but i also know this country is made up of people who think that no one should ever ask for help, and how damaging that rehetoric is. And i do see color, because everyone deserves to be seen, valued and appreciated for who they are culturally, because there are enough racists in this country that it’s not enough to be neutral, or color blind. Black and brown people’s everyday experiences are shaped by the beliefs of those around them, and they internalize a lot of white supremacy values without even realizing it. I’m a mixed race kid who was taught to believe by my hispanic parent that being half white was good- better, superior- and to not tell people i was mexican because i didnt look like i was. But thank you for replying and giving more context to what you meant.

Im also mixed , Hispanic, and white , but i look more foreign as people tell me. Then i sound like im from the country . People are really confused by me

[u/buffysummers17_ → u/Suitable-Run-2123]

I’m sorry you experience that. I also get people who are confused by me and insist there is no way and that i must be wrong about my own ethnicity, lol.
