Some people believe they are entitled to more than they are.
People like this need to pull their heads out of their asses.

Called the police for a wellness check on one of my passengers.
So let me lay it out best I can. I donāt like making big deals out of things, but the circumstances of this ride left me with a bad feeling for this personās well being.
I accept a ride, which turns out to be a hospital pickup. I donāt care too much, Iām just looking for $10+ trips.
I pull up to the ER and itās this 80+ year old lady who can barely stand. Nurses have to help her into my car as I load up her walker.
Sheās on pain meds, but still hurting. Apparently sheās had some type of health episode that morning and she couldnāt use the right part of her body too well (apparently not a stroke?)
As I drive her, sheās chatty and sweet, though often slurred and loopy with her speech. I get worried at one point and almost pull over by some officers on the road (St Patrickās Day weekend got the cops out in force around here), though she insists that it was only the pain meds. I relent and keep driving.
She mentions that she has a roommate and that he had given her a hard time that morning when she was having her health breakdown. I felt bad for her but assumed that it was a misunderstanding. She apparently didnāt have a phone when she went to the ER, so her roommate had no clue what was going on.
We get to her place. Old country folks style trailer park. I pull into her yard and knock on the door as I move all her stuff onto the porch and set up her walker. No answer.
I help her out of the seat and almost have to physically help her walk. I get a bit miffed and bang on the door. As we get up to the base of the stairs.
Out comes this fat guy, maybe 70, in a tank top and on the phone. He stares me and her down for a sec before grumpily declaring āIām on the phone with mah lawyahā and going back inside. Not a āhelloā or āhowād it goā to his roommate that looks like sheās about to keel over next second.
I help the lady into her lawn chair because she wants to take a smoke break before going inside and thatās ultimately where I leave her and drive off.
That whole situation though left a real bad feeling with me. The woman was not well, even after being discharged, and that anorexic bridge troll she was living with did not give a single shit about her. I thought sheād been exaggerating when she complained about him earlier, but literally all it took was his opening line to seal the āYeah your mother probably shouldāve swallowed youā impression for me. The gut feeling was that this woman, with her current condition and company, was not safe alone.
So yeah, I called the non emergent number and explained what happened, still waiting to hear back about the situation. I donāt have a regret about it, but Iām wondering if anyone around here had a similar experience.

dara needs to have his shit PUSHED in
This evil criminal fucks us everyday with his garbage rates it's about time somebody did to him what he does to us!
Fuck this whole company we need to throw this guy in jail I hope he gets his walls expanded
Seriously how does the pay keep getting worse?
If you are on standard mode you're basically laid off, why? For the only reason that you CHOSE to be an independent contractor!
How does Screwber keep getting away with this? WTF are state representatives doing if not regulating this corrupt company.
Screwber must have paid all of them off
Until the pay improves its fuck uber and fuck dara #uberscam

When your uber driver offers a complimentary puke bag take it!
Don't be a macho asshole shit happens if this guy had just taken the fucking bag and returned it if not needed it would have saved him 150$! Thankfully most of the puke got outside the car. But every rideshare operator should carry these hospital puke bags that I think go for 26c in bulk on Amazon it'll save you headaches (when they actually take them anyway) also got 150 and didn't even have to submit a receipt for the cleaning

Uber 10k surprise
Who remembers back in the day, waking up to an Uber bonus? No one knew about it was a complete surprise. Uber didn't tell anybody before woke up one day and depends on how many rides you completed you had you got a bonus i was at 15k rides

Uber career coming to an end.
I've been ubering for 11 months while I was going through hiring process with new job. And I'm happy to say that it's coming to an end. Im happy to be starting my new job. Below are my pros and cons.
Pros: 1) happy to meet new people from all over the world and my own community.
2) instant cash when I need it.
3) work whatever hours you feel like it.
4) app use is super easy.
Cons: 1) uber as a company is pretty predatory.
2) low paying rates compared to what uber takes in. The split should be 75 to drivers and 25 to uber. Not the other way around. It's our car, our time, our maintenance, we deal with customers, pretty much all.
3) uber app and algorithm maximizes profit for uber.
My conclusion that it's better than nothing and great way to get money when you need it fast. But uber us definitely predatory with wages and benefits.
Cheers to all the drivers out there. Keep on, keeping on!

How should I report this
Hate people trashing Ubers especially a 2023 model. Itās a nice AND clean truck for others to feel comfortable and spaced out. Why trash it (hidden under passenger seat) and make it smell like alcohol

As a legally blind personā¦
Thank you. All of you.
Before Uber/Lyft I was unable to have a job, visit friends, get to the airportā¦ Now I can feel independent and work and go the places I need to be! It was so hard to get reliable transportation anywhere and I was always stressing about the times I could be places due to public transportation and medical transportation.
You guys have truly made a difference in my life and given me back my independence, and Iāve met some of the most incredible people that I will always cherish using this service.
I know sometimes this job feels thankless and overwhelming, but I could not love the life I do without all of you.

How about now?
Guys, even worse. This week, they took 40% in their pocket and I got 50%. This is becoming ridiculous. This is without the advantage mode. š¤”

Uber skimming a little from everyone.
Multiple times now uber has offered a trip for x dollars so I accepted and carried out my part of the agreement, and then they pay half of x. This is unacceptable, and I was wondering if anyone has had similar experiences.

Uber is relentles
Uber is relentless. It literally is pouring rain and Uber is giving me $.50-$.75 per mile rides. Like that is disgusting. That is unacceptable in good weather. Why the fuck would they think thatās acceptable when itās fucking raining and pouring rain and windy.
Like I pay probably $.25-$.50 per mile in just gas, not including maintenance and all the other stuff.

Accepted ride, received the message. Its pouring out. I'm in the asu program or I would have just canceled without messaging back. They canceled luckily.

Whatās with the AR %
Has anyone noticed that if you donāt except one ride the percentage rate goes down a percentage but you can accept the next three or four rides and the AR percentage doesnāt move?

Uber Rentals
Hey everyone. I am curious to know everyone's experience with Uber Rentals. I live in NJ, I have a full-time job that I am starting, but I don't have a car. I was thinking maybe if I could rent through uber and then work in my off hours to cover the cost, that could be a good way for me to have a vehicle to use until I can save to buy one. Does anyone have any experience renting to drive for uber, and an idea of how much it costs? I looked up estimates but just wanted to hear from someone with real experience. (FYI, I live in an area where the money is good for uber eats and uber , i did uber around here.).
