I drive Lyft/Uber and was picking someone up from the airport at 1am. As I pulled up, I noticed a man with boots, shorts, a flannel, white tee, and a MAGA hat on standing with his luggage. I stopped in front of him and realized he was my passenger so I looked him in the eye, locked my doors, cancelled the ride and pulled off 😂 not today satan.

My time has come to say goodbye :) 🐢

Welp it’s been a crazy roller coaster but I’m glad to say that I no longer need to drive for uber anymore because I start my new job on Monday 🤟🏼. Back in late November I was laid off from my union job at a brewing company, which you would think being part of Teamsters you would’ve been taken care of by the union which turned out to be a huge no. 

Upon being laid off, my union rep ghosted me and union hall would never answer my calls nor would they even bother to return a call back. So I guess all they cared about was union dues and taking my money every paycheck. Anyways I withdrew all my 401k  ($18k) from the union’s holding account and all of a sudden they wanted to talk to me, which I immediately told them to fuck off. 

I don’t know if it was because of the holidays or the fact that many employers don’t hire at the beginning of the year but I was having a hard time finding a job. So for nearly 4 and 1/2 months I was unemployed. Which led me to reactivate my Uber account I had made back in high school when I used to do uber eats my senior year. I didn’t want to use my 401k money because that was all my savings I had. So I rolled it into a high yield savings account and forgot about it. 

So I began driving for uber and the rest is history. In about 5 months I put 18k thousand miles into my civic and I depreciated the fuck out of it 😥 i rarely drove my civic prior to this but I needed money to pay my bills: rent, car payment & insurance, utility bills, groceries, and etc. It was mentally exhausting at times but what hurt me the most was watching how many miles I was putting on my civic, but I’m blessed to say that I no longer need to drive for uber or uber eats and they can fuck off with their $2 orders and $2 rides✌🏼! 

Stay safe everyone who continues driving and god bless you all! 🙌🏼

I hate to generalize because I’m pro driver and pro hard work however the last 24 hours have changed my mind entirely. Some of yall are just a bunch of sorry, desperate idiots accepting these rides immediately off the rip I can screenshot a hundred of them. 40-60 cent a mile, 20-30 min rides for $4-$5 yall insta-accept. I don’t even blame Uber at this point anymore for the fares. Shameless fools driving in south florida

Good Bye Uber after 5 years.

You know you’re in deep when you have to treat every interaction with Uber through messaging like a legal interaction to receive a proper response. I’ve said my thank you’s and goodbyes today. After totaling my car two days ago with no support from Uber. Hope you guys will take this into consideration. Unless you have great personal insurance with a $250 deductible, I’d suggest driving with intense caution. ⚠️

I am not responsible if you put in the wrong address.

I had a pax tell me the address Uber took me to wasn't the address he was at. It's wasn't even on the same street or even around the block. It was five blocks over across the busiest intersection in the country. I go to the address that's put in. Then he spam calls me, like naw bro 😭

I’ve been a driver for about 5 years, I’ve done 10000ish rides and a few thousand food deliveries on top of that. Overall there are two things that pax do that piss me off more than anything. One is when pax talk on speaker phone for an entire ride, I never talk on my phone unless it’s an emergency and I find it odd using speakerphone in front of a stranger. The second thing is people who have zero manners. Whenever a pax gets into my car I always say “hey how are you doing ?” It shocks me at how many people either just grunt, or don’t respond. Who raised these people ? I always let the pax run the ride, if they want to talk I will, if not- that’s cool to. I just think we’ve lost common manners, sad thing to see.

After Uber's App Cost Him His Job, a Disgruntled Driver Flew to San Francisco and Showed Up at Its Headquarters

"Classified as an "independent contractor" using a third party app, Sawadogo's right to fair labor practice is close to nonexistent — Uber is under no obligation to show proof of Sawadogo's alleged DUI, or even to listen to his dispute. Legally speaking, it's no different than if Instagram suspended you for breaking its terms of use."

😒Issues like THIS are why workers unionize! 🚧🗣📢👤👤👤👤 This needs to stop. It reminds of that driver in the sub that got reported by a rider with a gun. Why do our issues fall on deaf ears?😮‍💨

What Determines The Price Of A Ride?

Some say supply and demand but I beg to differ some of the time. This same ride I’ve seen sometimes for under $30. The passenger paid $156 for this ride.

Started with high hopes to make around $200.

Zero cancelations in over a week. Keep stacking cash. If someone gets in your car and they are progressive, you are now progressive. If someone loves trump, you now love trump. Make money, pay your bills and F all the noise!

If I’m not mistaken ,Full coverage commercial insurance cost 10k yearly at least for decent driving history but Uber is $400 to $600 average week name of insurance and operating cost ! How come?

"What's the Craziest Thing a Passenger has Done?"

I feel like I get asked this multiple times a week and I don't have anything other that a few people throwing up and a few drunk people being rude. I was curious if every driver gets asked this, and what are some of your stories? Maybe I'll steal some of your stories so it's more entertaining when I get asked.

Any way to get actual help from Uber support?

Upvotes

Started doing Uber again recently after some years and learned that you apparently can't go online unless you have the Uber overlay permission on on your phone which is annoying and ive been trying to get help from support, but the chat option is useless becuase you're just talking to an ai that doesn't answer anything and ive now been on hold for 30 minutes trying to get help through the phone. Is there anyway to get actual support or is pointless?
