Eddie, you are just too kind. ❤

This is one of the reasons why I quit being a rideshare driver. It happened so much and I lost so much time and money and this was only a side gig at the time. Also Covid was the nail in the coffin for me to stop altogether, however I do miss the driving sometimes because I met a lot of people that became VIPs

Nope. Just off principle they'd either be getting out right there, or paying in a different way. 🤷🏼‍♂️

“Literally, pull up wherever and we’ll just hop out.” “Right here?” “Can you pull up a little bit more?” 🙄

Not only are you too kind but, a true leader in handling these situations. I truly hope your channel grows and multiply what eber amount you lost ❤

I drove back to the original location Woman was livid. I don't care anymore

i cant believe how well u handle these situations that get my blood pressure up all the way from behind the screen

Can’t believe they didn’t have the decency to Venmo or cash app you.

Don't worry. doing this kind of thing will come back to bite them in the end. They just need to stop spending money on alcohol, clothes and shoes they don't need ❤

“You know, cause science”, that got a like out my lazy ass

Fail. Should've dove them back.

This 8 minute video felt like an 18 minute video with all the commentary and backstory and side comments love it keep it up dude

Thanks Ed, you talking about college education, made me instantly think of the education connection commercial & now I can't get that jingle out of my head 🤣🤣

Blame falls on everybody

Never feel bad about doing the right thing brother.

I've never had this happen to me yet. I also typically won't accept new requests while im already on a trip either, I hate how Uber does that. Somebody who gets in an accident because of it needs to sue them.

Your movie picks and movie edits in your video are spot on. Love your vids!!

You did the right thing and you're not a sucker! Its possible those girls had no idea their friend was going to do that.

she says I can direct you if you want then looks right back at her friends ...schemin

I say that exact “no luck” phrase all the time it’s so true

Thanks for the Heads Up, Great Work as Alwayz ...

Wise words from you man 🙏🏻

Dude, I totally want to thank you for your videos. They make my work day so much more easy to Bare. You are always super awesome and nice. I hope I have an uber/lyft driver like you someday (I am always super polite and respectful whenever I've taken a ride, and I always tip very well). Please don't stop making content :) Do you have a patreon?

Something like this happened to me. I picked up a college girl, confirmed her name and started the trip. Right away, I got another request, accepted it and heard a "rider cancelled" sound. I thought it was my next rider who cancelled, but I later realized that my gps was taking me to the next rider pick up point. I asked the girl if she cancelled and she said no and showed me an active ride on her app but, guess what, it was another driver's profile and she was in the wrong car. I asked her to pick up another uber but she said she had no money. Eventually, I had to drive her to her destination together with my next passenger. I felt sympathetic but I also feel she somehow scammed me.

Eddie do not let people take advantage of you like this, kindly tell them to exit your vehicle when you realize the ride is cancelled. Or you can offer them to venmo u for the ride.

just found your channel, been watching all morning haha. good stuff. i'm getting bill burr vibes

Thank God I've been waiting on a video

The trick is double check before you leave and make sure no one cancelled and if they did, "whoops, so sorry girls, gotta let you out, emergency call". Yeah, the real emergency is preventing you scamming me. Drive around the corner and your next longer rider is ready to be picked up. Four girls vs male uber driver amounts to two of them bombarding you with useless questions, the third is texting someone and the 4th is in the front seat dealing with the driver. It's distraction, testing for all different reasons.. lol

I've been driving Lyft since I left my job in January. In my market that move is dangerous for insurance reasons. There is no reason *ever* that a rider should be in my car when I'm not on an official Lyft ride.

1:45 Bro put that into perspective big time! I've always wondered why even as a 23 year old I felt somewhat of a child who's parents are responsible for him even though I've legally been an adult for 5 years! Half a freakin decade... As I've gotten older (29) it started setting in and how people start treating you more like an adult. Now, it doesn't feel good and I miss having to be looked after *all while taking care of my responsibilities* but I've finally heard it described perfectly just how you explained...

Couldnt you just charge them later? I mean you have footage of the scam and you know there adress.

Missed you Eddie!

Now I learned a new econ term that I've done before without knowing it's the term, thanks!

This happened to me once before and literally a few days after I started using an outside map. I now only use the one in the app. I was so confused what was happening at the time and someone calling as I had people in my car. I felt like it was somehow my fault and took the people who cancelled to their place, cancelled on the next one who I was supposedly heading to and felt like a total tool that next week when I told a friend about it and they explained how I got screwed. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I would have told them to call their friend to pay for their ride

As usual the edits and throw backs are on point! 😂❤ When I was a college kid I sure thoughts I was an adult..but now that my oldest 3 are college age(almost 23, 22 and18)..um no..college age are just kids..only taller 😂💜

This is savage! Did you mention anything to Uber about the rider than intentionally cancelled? Nice to be nice, however that's not going to put food on the table for little Juanita!

Whenever that happens if you contact support and explain to them that you completed the ride but they canceled mid-ride and you give them the start and end location typically they will pay you out

I love your channel, dude.

You need to make a link to your book in the description

What does the girl in the passenger seat have under her sweatshirt in her left hand the entire drive? She even pulls the seatbelt over her left arm pinning it. Buckles and unbuckles the belt with her right hand.

Because science...

An experience driver wave off riders that say I’ll tip you because 90% doesn’t and please drop me off two blocks away I’ll pay you or add it as tip.These drunken bars hoping college kids think the rest of us is dumb but little do they know..As a Uber driver I have given several free ride because of my assessment of the situation, the longest was 26 minutes and the shortest 6 minutes under heavy rain. I have also put 4 college boys out my car around Swarthmore after 1:am because their timing was wrong.I have allowed some to also get away with it but still said something because you not walking away thinking you played me,I allowed it thief.The first time it happened to me I was confused at first so I parked and immediately called Uber and they adjusted my fair.She could argue with Uber that she never got pickup because the next Uber am assuming pick her up from that exact spot and to the drop off. She could say he pickup the wrong person and I cancel when I realized the ride was on route. My advice to you is don’t allow criminals playing games with your money & time unless you want to do it out of the goodness of your hear with honest riders.Don’t be a dick unless they push you but play along since they love games. Like ooh did you cancel your ride and the reply is always NO, and you go like ooh no I have another passenger waiting for me so sorry guys I your ride end here.

It was your call to make but wow... if this happened to me. I got into an Uber my friend paid for and they cancelled midride. I would do anything fucking scrounge up some pennies, give them my shoes, go to a gas station and buy them something on my credit card flipping anything but what they all did. "I don't have any cash on me" none of you have a dollar? None of you have a backup plan? Man. But it was your call to make, so all good in the end.

The answer to your question is their parents are paying for their college and they’re broke lol

Big mistake. You showed the scammer that her scam works. You should have pulled over and put them out of your car. They could then deal with the scammer and the situation she put them in. It's not being a "nice guy" when you allow entitled brats to take advantage of you. The scammer cost you money!

uncle eddie knows best

I've never had this issue, because 1. I never switch out of the app, and Uber has its own GPS. 2. I don't believe they can cancel after the trip has already started. That's also the only time I can get trip requests like you did. How did that even happen?

Sorry, I would have left them where the guy was. Let 'em walk, the half-baked scammers.

23k views with 311k, what, you're so good:(

I dont usually watch this kind of stuff.... but, I kinda like you

Fun little law of attraction at the end of the video there. I see what ya did there bro. I guess no more Driver Eddie videos for me today... Back to NPC D&D! :D

They have phones and can do e-transfers?

You handled this shit-y situation with far more equanimity than I could muster.

Why do 99% of the rider's have flashing lights on their phones? Is that just a way to attract attention to yourself?

Man or woman Cold or not I would have kicked them out. Not only did hey waste your time but you didn't get paid for your time.

In my Accord, I don't even take 5.

Cancel mid trip and I’m taking you back to the starting point.

I REALLY MISS U EDDIE WHERE CAN I SEE U DAILY??

The thought of my uber driver driving all the way to me, pulling up in front of me, cancelling, then driving off is fuckin hilarious

i would have taken them right back home.

A girl tried to steal my Uber the other week. She played the "oops I don't speak English" trick... even though learning English is compulsory in that country.

You're telling me none of the college girls had Venmo? Also, you decided to ditch an actual paying customer because you wanted to help someone who wasn't paying you?

At least u outed these girls on camera

This man has to be from the philly area lol we all talk in movie quotes, specific movie qoutes and i can play qoute bingo watching these videos and win quickly lol

I have an inkling of a clue WHY this happened...😊

Sounds like it was done by accident

WHY DID YOU CONTACT UBER...CALL THEM TELL THEM THE RIDE WAS CANCELLED BUT YOU DROVE THEM, THEY WILL ASK FOR PICK UP AND DROP OFF ADRESS AND GIVE YOU THE ESTIMATED PAY FOR THAT....IVE DONE IT PLENTY OF TIMES....THEY WILL CHARGE THEM LATER

yo uncle eddie

in the uk u start college at 16 thats the age i started. but i finished at 18

I've never used Uber before, so maybe someone could enlighten me about this: The girl that called the Uber in the first place stayed back to call another Uber for the rest of the group. But can you call another uber while you are technically "already on a ride"? Is it possible that was the reason the ride was cancelled?

You did the right thing, karma did the wrong thing. You handled it like a champion, and karma will level the field!

id turn around and take them back

I know it sucks you gave them a free ride but it was human of you to not blame them for what their friend did. Unless they knew what she was doing. I now only use the Uber navigation because I've had similar things happen (canceled the ride but I didn't notice) and I get there to realize I drove there for nothing. You made a newbie mistake. It happens!

You feel like a sucker because you got suckered into giving a free ride. The right thing to do is follow your gut and just be honest with the girls, tell them their friend is trying to scam you and that they are either going to have to pay for it by getting kicked out of your car OR they can pay you with whatever they have until the fee is paid. That's fair. Then they can take it up with their scamming friend how they got treated because of THEIR fault. Don't do yourself bad King, you deserve to get paid for your work too. Doesn't matter if they are college girls, if these were guys would you have done the same? No. So don't do it for the women either.

They knew all along.

I mean they've done something wrong but at the same time. If you'd kicked them out and something happened, it may blow back on you. The best thing to do was to take them. We all know how society can be. Stay safe out there Ed.

Other than at the beginning of uber when it forced you into exterior navigation apps I as an 8 year uber driver have never used external navigation. Its built into the app now so why would you go outside of it? i don’t get the point?

Can't you contact Uber and basically say they scammed you? You legit have proof.

I love you ed, but did you make this 8min because of the ads? lol

Eddie most college kids don’t just have 50k they in debt for 50k🤣😅

Let them walk

can i get a free ride uncle ed

pull forward more? go pound sand

3 things eddie 1. i will call a person a kid well up into their 30s. 2. that man with “one of the greatest minds in football” has a name and it’s henry “the fonz” winkler and you gotta put some respect on OGs name. 💀 3. do you think the girl that called the uber had the intent of trying to scam you? or do you think she was just drunk and cancelling it without realizing. it does look bad that she did say she would specifically wait. but if it wasn’t for the craziest timing ever she wouldn’t have gotten away with it and cancelled it 4 feet in front of you.

No, (most) college kids do not count as adults. Infact, I'm not even sure that (most) of them are human!!😮

Because you were a sucker my dude but I get it, God Bless.

🚀🤓

marginal utility

The crime occurred in 2018 perhaps even 2017. It, however is possible you re recorded one over with 4 participants. These were a real college chicks. The one who set at the front was in her first college year when ORIGINAL crime occurred. Year was even 2015 - 2026 the most. Sorry not 2018 or 2017, but 2015 max 2016. She really liked me driver Ed ?

So you willingly got scammed and screwed over the actual paying customer waiting for you?

Could care less you cancel let them walk for being shady

Wow thanks, it's thrilling to make her eyes roll back while she moans with desire, I went with what I mentioned last week and now she just can’t have enough. I did it go’ogling the latest by Merle Winestol and now she’s the one dragging me back for more lol.

the movie clips make these videos unwatchable

I like this guy and love his videos but that's something that I would have noticed. Some people can notice things with layers, right away. Some people need a minute to think about the current task at hand.

LOL STOP SAYING THERE NAME, LET TEM SAY IT ITS THEW RULES, ONLY TIME I EVER SAY IT IS WHEN IM JUST AT A HOUSE AND LIKE 1 PERSON COMES OUT, SOMETIMES NEITHER ONE OF US SAY ANYTHING AT ALL WE JUST SAY HI AND GO NO NAMES, BUT IF ITS A GROUP JUST MAKE THEM SAY IT

they still wearing masks in 2023

If they black kids will they get kicked out ?? White privileged?😢

Don’t be a simp.
