Highly unlikely. As the 2 lady drivers basically say below, it’s superficial conversations to keep passengers happy, the passenger wants to get somewhere in terms of location, not in terms of relationship, and anyway, I don’t want to creep out my female passengers. I can sometimes get passengers who talk quite personal stuff, but I don’t initiate and I don’t probe with questions, again because I don’t want to creep them out. We have guidelines on communicating with passengers. Flirty language is not allowed. I’d hope passengers who feel uncomfortable with a driver’s conversation reported them as those drivers give the rest of us a bad name.
Watch for DVT and PE. I was affected last year after about 8 months of doing Uber. Keep yourself well hydrated, watch for the signs, wear compression socks if your worried. In hindsight, I probably had an earlier PE that was undiagnosed. I’m lucky. The second one put me in hospital and has affected me for several months. I’m now on blood thinners for life. I’d give my feedback to Uber, but there doesn’t appear to be anywhere in the app to do that.
