   6 years ago in  This is a serious question to drivers. I hear you routinely have 10~12 hour shifts. Do your butts get sore when you drive for so long? Could bedsores (I guess "buttsores" in this case) be a thing?

  I honestly cannot believe no one has made a joke about "butt sores."  Everyone's thinking it, right?

   6 years ago in  What would be awesome questions to ask Uber and Lyft drivers?

  "Is this your only job?" and "is this your full time job" seem like okay questions to me.  no?

  I like your suggestions though special hobbies, music interests, travel stories.  All great candidates 

  IMO, the "craziest uber stories" are always the best! :)

   6 years ago in  As an Uber/Lyft driver, what have you been accused of by riders?

  Passengers do ANYTHING to get out of paying.  It's completely shameless. 

  You must have been caught up in this:

  Double tap sealed his deal. 

  As we all learned in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, driving the car backwards does not undo your wrongdoing.

   6 years ago in  What do you do if a passenger pulls a weapon on you while driving an Uber?

  You know...  at first this response was stupid, but then I equated this to threatening the pilot on a flight.  Who would hurt a driver who is driving the vehicle.  

  Well, I guess the car doesn't have to be moving when this happens, huh. Never mind.

  LOL.  Awesome.  Any response with <what I am doing now> will be funny.  As long as it isn't " I am on my way."

   6 years ago in  Retrieving lost items. Shouldn't Uber and rider pay for distance and time driven? Rather than the flat $15?

  Yeah, but from what point and location do you measure that?  When does the ride start?  Is it up to the driver?  If that were the case, he or she would just drive as far away as possible, or do the most unreasonable path to get there.

   6 years ago in  Is driving from 9-5 a pipedream for an Uber driver?

  When you drive 9 to 5, you miss the rush hours where you make good amount of money.  See, the busy times (when you make money) is when people are *aren't* working and are going somewhere.

  Your schedule should be the reverse of what everyone else is doing.

   6 years ago in  Phoenix will no longer be Phoenix if Waymo’s driverless-car experiment succeeds [Technology Review]

  For one, with Uber and Auto Cars, they won't need parking lots anymore. 

  Phoenix has huge roads and huge parking lots. It's pretty much door to door driving and there are no ways to walk even to the next store over.  People drive super short distances. 

  This is not ideal for when people start taking rideshares because people can't take it to certain destinations and walk from there. It changes the game

  I am a Uber user.  I don't wear seatbelts whenever I am on taxis, Uber or public transportation.  I feel like it's one place I don't need to and I feel invigorated and liberated. LOL.

   6 years ago in  What are ways Uber drivers make money besides driving?

  Yes, I do.  If a website, TV, or radio probably quality content, I am happy to pay for it with my time, i.e. watch their ads.  If the content is crappy, I just stop watching..  

  It's like if HBO or your favorite iPhone game.  HBO has no commercials.  Your iPhone game, if you already paid for it, you shouldn't see ads.

  With an Uber, I am pay for the service already.  I already bought the time, so they should turn off the ads.  At least give me a choice.

   6 years ago in  What are ways Uber drivers make money besides driving?

  If they are gonna have ads on the car, I feel like I should be getting something in return. Like a discount on the ride itself.  There has to be a cost for making money off of me.  

  Perhaps a negative rating?  I mean, how is it fair that my friends who happen to get a different driver NOT have to watch an ad?
