As a ride share driver, it is my recommendation that you NEVER do riders favors when they ask. I get asked all the time to squeeze in an extra person or stop at a drive through, etc. In my experience, even if the person promises a huge tip for the favor, 4/5 times they will leave no tip at all. Here's some great advice.. People suck. Perform the job as requested and nothing more and if they don't like it, they can eat shit.

@@SusanBullockUberGrams well Susan that's the great thing about being a rideshare driver. You are an independent contractor. You have the power to refuse business to anybody for any reason or no reason at all. If it isn't worth it to you... Then don't do it. I cancel more rides than I actually perform. If I get a ride request from "O.G. Trina", I will cancel the ride as soon as I see that they are requesting the ride under a name that obviously isn't their given name. The car I do rideshare in has white leather interior so I cancel ride requests when they come from a factory. I've canceled a ride when the rider came walking up with a dog. Was it a service dog? I don't know and I don't care. I will refuse business to anybody I want because nobody is going to reimburse me if the interior of my car gets damaged by a dirty rider or a riders pet. It is what it is.

I once had a passenger who unbeknownst to me cancelled a ride while in my back seat (once I picked him up) so that the ride wasn’t charged. He tried to convince me that my map wasn’t working due to bad internet in the area so he would direct me to his house. I was new to Uber at the time so i believed him. Once I dropped him off I pulled over and called Uber support and they advised unless I provided proof that I dropped him off I wouldn’t be paid. I dropped by the security booth and they gave me a visitor’s pass for the tenant and I sent that to UBER and the rider was charged for the ride. I’ve witnessed all of the things you mentioned and thanks for sharing. I might consider going back after hearing this.

So I waited I drove over I waited for her to get up and walk to the car toward the car. Then I took off and canceled the ride. It's called respect she had no respect so I had to show her the same thing she showed me.

I had to endure one of those this Summer, and despite my silence, they demanded that I involve myself in the debauchery. I politely informed them that I was monogamist, happily married, and avoided the swinger scene because of matters of faith. I am not trying to be rude, but it is a rough haul picking up four drunk people who insist on detailing the orgy they just left.

You're a smart person. If I get a bad vibe from the beginning of the ride or even before I even reach your pick up. I will immediately cancel the ride. I've had people call me on the phone before I reached them with attitudes or stupid questions and I immediately cancel the rides. My biggest pet peeve is when people call me and worry me where are you, and so-and-so is giving me instructions. don't give me instructions. I don't need your help. if I need it, I'll ask for it. But you gotta cut it off before it starts. You are the Boss of your car and time. always trust your intuition.

Thoughts on asking riders for I.D. Had a big guy named "Piper" (wtf) about 6ft and 270 pounds who turned out to be totally crazy. He asked every personal question at rapid fire. The questions were coming so fast, I got disoriented on the gps. To no avail, I tried to take the conversation to safer topics like "ubering is a great gig" and "more women should uber." After his first stop, he came back to car, told me that he had 2 minutes left so he wanted to smoke. He then told me I shouldn't be ubering if I dont want food, drinks, and smokes in my car. When I explained that I own the car as a contractor, he went off into some rant during which "nigga" slipped out in referenceto me. I then advised that I am ending the conversation...He kept going with name calling me butch, whore, etc. So I pulled over to end ride. He stated that he wouldn't get out and I would have to call cops. I stopped and got out at which point he jumped out probably because he was uncertain about what I was about to do and didnt expect me to get out. I walk around and closed my door. He was still screaming at me when I left. OMG, I called Uber to have him removed from my pool and to file a report to protect other drivers He then filed a false report three hours later which is obvious retaliation. So I think the best thing to do is to fake car trouble 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and abandon your car. Mind you I have take over 600 rides this summer with 306 reviews of which 291 are 5 starts. And I'mPro Diamond, yet it's been 4 days blocked and under investigation. To do list Get a dash cam Control the conversation better Ask for ID when rider is obviously lying about name End ride at a store or restaurant where you can abandon car with witnesses and cameras. Keep dash cam running for property damage. Have a list of safe convo topics for each day.

Wow sorry to hear that you went through all of that!!! As soon as he started acting stupid I would have ended the ride and told him to get the f*** out of my car. And then I would have called 911. Even though Uber does absolutely nothing about these riders. Always make a report. Cover your butt first. They do nothing at all. they don't follow up on any of our reports, even though they say they are. That's a bunch of bill. Uber does nothing because they don't want to lose the rider because they're income. But I still make a report on every incident that I've had.. I think you waited too long to end your ride with him and he got comfortable. It's a whole lot of nutcases out there. And we as women just have to be careful as h***.

Brother- I have had to deal with every one of your examples, and it is no easy task biting the lip and trucking on. In my experience, if you don't comply with 100% of the unreasonable demands it ends up being a One-star trip. The best thing is never letting bad riders in, but sadly, we often figure out who's bad after they are inside your car. If I am unable to de-escalate and make friends, I cancel before everything goes South. Some people are angry and looking for a 'little' person to vent on, regardless of ride quality. Being a night driver, I could write book about all the crazy rides I have been through. Karens are the worst and I have low tolerance for horrible people. Thankfully, the Wu-floo hysteria has calmed down- at least here in East Tennessee. Stay safe, enjoy the ride, and thanks for all that you do!

Never do a longer trip even it crosses three states border line like from northern Virginia to Pennsylvania close to New Jersey line. Uber only pay driver $180 but it need spend three hours and 210 miles. If you don't match it yet, just turn on the rider app and put the same drop off location to check how much if you order this trip. It showed up around $320 for it but driver only take $180. This is a greedy percentage of the fare taken off by Uber. NEVER ACCEPT THE LONGER TRIP UNLESS IT CAN PAY DOUBLE DOLLARS PER MILE TO COVER YOUR BACK TRIP.

If they demand it or drunk hungry then it’s a hard NO! Also don’t let a girl try to sway you into doing things for her I.e. drive thru / picking up somebody else don’t fall for their tricks they know what they’re doing……..but it’s upto you just be careful and professional around girls it will go south real fast and they will not give a sh!t about you and lie and cry to get their way and get away with it.

I have prevented people from jumping into my front seat by using a huge stuffed animal to occupy the front passenger seat. Even still a few people tried to just jump in on top if the stuffy!

@@maryb6668 ok that level of giving directions is actually fine and definitely appreciated. I don't even consider that to be backseat driving. I'm more aimed at the ones that sit back there and give me turn by turn directions from start to finish and the directions they give me are no different at all from what the GPS is already giving me. It's just not necessary to do that.

I always enter the correct destination, but I have had drivers who are not familiar with the area, not know where to drop me off. Sometimes it’s very popular destinations, such as the main entrance to a major tourist destination. Drivers will often pull that card, that I entered the destination wrong. If you’re the driver, you are responsible in getting me to the destination.

Some of these passengers think we're really stupid drivers. They kill me with that. I'll tip you. Of course they never ever do. People will say anything to get what they want. I had to turn this young girl down with a baby and no car seat and she said the same crap to me. But I still put her out of my car and canceled the ride. I'm not pressed for a $5 tip to get my license taken from me or get in any kind of trouble if I have an accident and you never know. So you can't say all that's not gonna happen to you, cause you just don't know But I did cancel her ride and she sat on the side of the curb looking all pitiful and I kept on going. I have no cut cards and I don't have no time to be sympathetic cuz you know the rules.

1)The type that tells me to lane jump, ooh! Turn here! go faster… zig n zag… go around that car, … can’t stand it. I warn them once, if they argue with me, or do it again, I just pull over at the nearest safe area and tell them to call another driver. 2)Anything odiferous in my car, food -no. Alcohol smell, cigs, weed …no. No. No. No. However I do have hand wipes. If I notice odor once I’ve already picked them up… or if I pull up and they’re putting out their cig, same ~ hand wipes, and please take a few regular breaths b4 you get in. Then offer a mint. I was deactivated twice in my early days of ridesharing. One said my car smelled like alcohol and driver must be drunk… lost a days earnings. Same thing with weed couple weeks later. I can’t stand the smell of food in my car. I really think my hand wipes n mints help with everything else. No food whatsoever. Not even bagged. Nope.
