If people reek of pot when they step into my car, they don’t stay. It usually takes me a minute to pick up on the stench. It’s purely a cleanliness/hygiene issue and I don’t want to have to stop giving rides to fumigate the car. A few got angry and slammed the car door pretty hard, but whatever.
I did have one gal with an attitude. She was in a dangerous area for me to pick her up and so I asked her to meet me in an adjacent parking lot. She gave me attitude and started taunting me. Finally I pulled over and said this ride isn’t working for me and asked her to leave. She wouldn’t leave and said to continue with the ride. She continued to taunt me but I wouldn’t engage her. She finally realized she couldn’t get my goat any longer and so I pulled over. She screamed in my ear and called me a racist, then got out of the car and threw her soda cup at the car. Needless to say she was reported.
The worst experience I had though, was just a few weeks ago. I waited past the 3 minutes which was my mistake because the passenger messaged me and said that he was coming. The passenger finally showed up and once again, he reeked of pot and was higher than the space station. I told him that I couldn’t accommodate him. He became belligerent and started asking for his money back. I told him since we weren’t going anywhere that he wouldn’t be charged. He then whipped out his cell phone and started recording me and told his buddies on the video that I was his n-word. I even tried calling 911 but he screamed over my talking with the operator. He finally got out. I was shaken up so much I couldn’t drive for the next 3 days. I reported him and I hope that he was banned. I’ll never know.
One more ride from Hell: I drove three ladies a little over a mile to the Hollywood Bowl. Those who know the area know that the Bowl is a crap carnival when it comes to driving. It was absolute gridlock. I tried talking them into getting out and walking, but every time I almost had them opening the door, they’d read a post about Trump and they’d get suck into a gabfest about how much they hated them. 2 Hours later, I dropped them off. I’ve learned that I don’t mention politics. If someone engages me, I’ll politely refuse. I won’t get baited into a confrontation.
