   5 months ago in  Ran an experiment with Uber

  Uber drivers have an array of personalities just like everyone else so of course there are some bad eggs out there but generally I think most drivers are pretty accommodating. I wonder if you are just running into jaded Uber drivers. We really don't earn much on this app and while that is not your fault a lot of Uber drivers will take out that frustration on the rider especially when they feel they are going above and beyond their call of duty (pick up rider, drop off rider, nothing else, no froof).

   5 months ago in  Ran an experiment with Uber

  Is the grocery store you shop at a pain to get to? Is it off a busy intersection with long waits at stop lights or does it have an exceptionally busy parking lot? It might not have anything to do with you but with just the nature of the location.

  Also, make sure you are always ready with your groceries on the curb and try not to buy anything smelly :)

   2 years ago in  What’s the highest percentage Uber & Lyft has taken on a ride from you? Is it on short or long rides?

  Well naturally I pay more attention to the money I am making on the longer rides as that actually makes some impact than the $3 take home from the minuet rides.

   2 years ago in  What’s the highest percentage Uber & Lyft has taken on a ride from you? Is it on short or long rides?

  Ya i have had my share of upwards of 50% taken too. I tend to see it more on long rides, but maybe that is just because I am paying more attention to the take home?

  A flyer for some crazy new age christian retreat (cult). Didn't see it until the end of the day so I am sure I had many passengers worried that I was some kind of nut that day.

   2 years ago in  What is the official rating threshold that Uber will deactivate a driver at?

  Thanks Wes. I wonder why certain areas have different numbers? Different supply/demand of drivers? I would guess the threshold is lower in rural areas where there are hardly any drivers to begin with.

   2 years ago in  Was my driver in the right?

  So many riders just hop on the phone and have these loud obnoxious conversations without ever asking me if it is ok. I would have been thrilled if you were my rider and actually asked me! Sounds like your driver was a jerk.

   2 years ago in  Drivers. What circumstances would you give a one-star rating to your passenger?

  1 star ratings are really really rare. You have to do something to completely piss me off. I think I have only ever given a 1 star 2-3 times and all times were because the passenger was being a complete jerk, drunk, yelling at me, treating my car poorly, etc.

   2 years ago in  Drivers, have you tried Cargo yet?

  Ya I think the idea is you take the box in and out with you, its not that big so pretty easy IMO. I guess you could leave it in your car but LG-PA makes some great points hence why I take my box with me into my house at the end of a shift.

  Yes, I have been seeing more tips later on than usual as well. I just noticed it the other night. Maybe Uber is sending a little tip reminder a few days later? Nah, they would never do that... IDK.

  Once I had a passenger who was going on about her mom being deported. Oddly, she wasn't all that sad, more matter of fact. While she wasn't that sad, I was, sad for humanity.
