I thought I made this all obvious in the video, but I think some people just like to look for problems

Becoming a 5 star driver is so easy it means nothing

@@gabrielmilagro8906 no because 1 irrational customer can drop you from a 5 to a 4.8 and less depending on your amount of drop offs, 1 accidental too, so its not hard to get it but it's hard to maintain, and just saying your nose breath goes down and forward towards his feet, so he didnt put anyone in danger, he followed his gut instinct as anyone should do keep hating and stay safe.

@@zayIrwin thats why drivers kick people out mid trip so they don't mess with the ratings. It's so easy to be a 5 star driver it means nothing.

@@gabrielmilagro8906 not this one, and if he does he does it for good reason you act like this driver does it regularly and you compared him to actual scumbags.

That's why I'm glad that I moved from the Philly area to a place so far I haven't had one incident with a rider in the 18 months that I've been living here, because no one ever want to get abandon in a place that they don't know. Also, I never have to worry about the snow and cold weather ever again.

love ya dusty

@Vincent S what he’s saying is that it’s better to be safe than sorry

Um this entire video is about how your fear can be wrong

his gut instincts in this ride were this guy was up to no good, but he was a casual rider.

@@PuceGaming445 thank you for your support!

@@PuceGaming445 not as cringe as saying cringe.

@@michael_krueger Cringe cringe cringe cringe cringe cringe cringe cringe cringe cringe cringe cringe cringe cringe cringe cringe cringe cringe cringe cringe cringe cringe cringe cringe :D

that part concerned me tbh, bc i always say be safe to strangers, friends, family... anyone really. if your a genuine nice person to me and we had a decent conversation, im gonna say be safe when we part ways, its just the typa person i am. so hearing that the rider saying "be safe" made him feel uncomfortable make me wonder if i ever sounded like that.

Then don't do it. I know a woman that did it for 7 years and was a top driver. She never had a life threatening situation.

@@beefnacos6258 That’s why I don’t do it, lol.

I drive Uber and my girl used to and I would always worry but luckily she didn't end up liking all the driving she had to do. I don't blame you as a man I don't get scared at all (well I'm always strapped) but it's sad that there are a lot of shitty guys looking to do harm to woman.

@@KonohazFinest Men are the primary victims of crime. Men are targeted more, a lot more, as those statistics show crimes completed and not crimes attempted. Criminals are caused by a lack of eduaction, and men get significantly less education than women. If you care, help boys in schools, and not in a nasty way, but in a good hearted way of attempting to help men in this world.

@@beefnacos6258 Ok? Good for her? Women are allowed to feel scared around men.

It's a mindset thing

@@mmaquickgems2102 th-thats what he said

@@hezowrld it's just a mindset thing my boy you wouldn't understand

@@mmaquickgems2102 b...

Well then he would have made a show of himself. By making the wrong assumptions.

thanks man, you too my friend!

@@pauldunneska and what if those assumptions weren't wrong? Its 1 am and dudes acting sketchy. Fuck the show, if he's a cool human being then cool, but that's not on him to take that risk

@@whyintheworldamiallowedsuc400 He was a cool human being doing nothing out of the ordinary. I drive a taxi at night and have met very sketchy people in my 22 years of driving a taxi at night. I'm still alive and kicking.

@@pauldunneska My grandfather was a smoker since he was 14 and died of natural causes at the age of 88. Doesn't mean smoking doesn't cause cancer. Yeah he did nothing out of the ordinary but the circumstances were unfortunate and dangerous with no fault to him. 2 am, not the name, says to take a different route. just sketchy with no one at fault

stay steady eddie, be read to take out the baddy because you are the uber daddy. why did i write this?

I work at a gas station and have done a few late nights and overnights. There’s some sketchy mf’s that come crawling in at night. And I live in a really safe city too.

There was double stabbing at the 7-11 across the street from my apartment complex

@@KaiUndMoritz nobody knows buddy

Wtf is a reality flowers kind of moment ? I googled it and got nada

I like that you caught something deep and took pause-I wish more were like you. 🔹

Yes!! Eddie is a real cool guy. This is my first time stumbling onto one of his videos.. well, second time actually... and he's a real forward thinking UBER driver, let alone human being. I fucking love that in people. 💯💯

@@tabernaclejones6115 umm like imagine a flower growing and opening up in fast forward, that's what his comment did to my thought process - I grew and feel the world, or reality, opened up more than I knew it could. I know I'm weird af hope that made sense

Lol

DEFINITELY!

I lost it when he said CANADA😂😂😂😂 BOA IM FROM THE CITY WHERE THEY FOCUS ON THE STRIP, Vegas the real hood lemme tell you, but you right bout gut instinct, saved my life multiple times.

@@RjKME What? Do you think Canada doesn't have problems like this. If that's the case then you really don't have a clue. The area I grew up in in Nova Scotia Canada, as far as crime and everything else that refers to dealing with idiots like this is just as comparable as areas in LA, I know this myself because I've spent lots of time in LA and the surrounding areas while working. Yeah Canada has a pretty docile rep in other countries, but that doesn't mean we don't have just as bad of areas as other cities and countries. A perfect example is the street I lived on growing up. There were 4 houses and 2 small apartment buildings on our side of the street, and 5 houses and another small apartment building on the opposite side of the street. 3 houses down the street from our house was a whole family of Hells Angels, Across the street 2 houses up was Italian Mafia. NOBODY F'd with anyone or anything on our street, and the whole neighbourhood was that way. We all knew who was into what and who wasn't into anything other than living an honest life and we all had respect for each other.

@@comedianmattrossey lmfao seeing something or living by something is completely different from living in it, I’m 18 and I’ve done 2 years when I suppose to more for DYS (division of youth service) also known as kid prison, I did the shit you saw, I did the stuff you can’t even think about homie, Canada ain’t shit, been carrying a gun since I was 13 homie, multiple times I’ve had to pull it out, not shoot people cause the sight of a gun is shocking to people who don’t have any or who haven’t grown up around it, and not to commit crimes either, because I drove the type of car those people wanted I have to fight for my life. LA? So what we get all the people from LA all parts of Cali cause Vegas is literally the next state over. Don’t tell me you had it rough if you’ve never been in a rough situation. You been jumped in Canada? Good for you, happens all the time stuff like this and we don’t even talk about it cause you learn to survive an realize what environment your in.

@@RjKME Well, unlike you I don't go around boasting about shit that I had to do, nor do I feel a sense of justification for those things either. You wanna go off like you know everything about others because of your very concious choices to do things you knew were wrong. I made the choices I did out of neccessity, not to be a tough guy. I did see a lot of shit, but also experienced a substantial amount of it to. Again, the difference between the 2 of us is that you seem to think you're something great for the things you did. And yes I've been jumped by a group with knives and guns, but I used my head instead of my mouth, and prevented mysellf from becoming a statistic. I don't publish the things that I have done and seen because it really makes no difference.I had a much better sense of judgement and chose not to take a "cleaning job" when I was 16. So please don't try to come off as though you know everything when you know shit. I'm 50, and have a hell of a lot more life experience around the world. Do yourself a favour and grow up, do something with you're life so you don't end up as another statistic or left to waste away when someone gets you for the things you've done. Because believe me, that's the road you're headed down if you keep going the way you're going. I had lots of friends in life that had the same attitude as your's. It came down to they made bad choices and I made good choices, and got myself out of shit before I got too into it that I wouldn't be able to turn back, they died young. I've had to walk down the street constantly having to look behind me. Thankfully as I said I've made good decisions and got out of the path I was going towards. In fact, I did that at the same age you are now. If you keep walking around thinking you know everything about everyone and everything, you're just cheating yourself out of having a good life and eventually someone will come for you. Try not to let that happen, you have that option in life NOW before you get involved too far. Being a career criminal is the lazy and pointless choice to make. Be a better person and get yourself out of shit. It truthfully comes down to choice, and I know that out of my own experience. You can think whatever you want about me and what I've said, but you know nothing about me other than what I have told you, and that's because I had the sensibilty to keep my mouth shut and not talk all big and tough like noone can get me, cause one thing for sure, and you know this already if you're for real, and that is that life expectancy when you spend your life involved in crime and in and out of prison is a very short waste of life. Do something for yourself if not for the people you love and that love you, and change the direction you're going. You're 18 and still have a chance to do better than end up a decoration for bullets. Look I get it. I've been in LA and Vegas, and honestly I think both cities are cess pools for crime and degredation. I don't like what either city is like, it's why I don't go to them. Get yourself out of those kinds of places while you still can. Go somewhere that has more of the kind of life you want to have, and start over man. You're still young enough that you can. Get an education. Become a trades man. Do something so that you don't have to spend you're life always watching behind your back, cause that isn't a fun way to live and you can be guaranteed that if you keep going that way, well, you've seen how many of the people you grew up that also got involved, how many are still alive. You stay in that life and the person you least expect to do you is the very person that will look you in the face as they shoot you in the head. Or maybe that's your goal, to die young and achieve absolutely nothing in life. Your Choice, Good Luck

Ummm...they literally coukd have unlocked the doors and ran while he was summoning police, yes it'll deter them and give you a 5 second head start, but let's not act as if this is foolproof.

@@dmoneygc2086 his story sound like 🧢

@@realjqa definitely cap. If those guys in his story did have stolen guns, they would have shot him as soon as he turned in the police station.

@@Busdriver2435_YT they don't shoot unless there's an active threat like someone pointing the guns at them

Covid isn’t even that serious anymore. I’ve had it twice and I’ve had colds that were worse than it.

@@heavenspace3441 Good for you. It almost killed me. I fought it for 3 months and almost lost. I'm still having effects on my heart and brain. But Good for you. It also made my perfectly healthy 20 year old son develop an immune disorder that is now killing him. But cool for you.

Hope you and your son can come back from this and be healthy 🙏🏼 I’m only 24, so I can’t imagine what your son is going through at 20. health issues are no joke and they’re scary af dealing with ! My best friend is immune compromised and having COVID effected her in so many ways. I haven’t seen her in months because she’s been on/off sick and I miss her a ton. :( she’s still always at the hospital, has to use an inhaler now, and is exhausted all the time. Her relationship also was going very well with her man and now he’s been pushing away from her and arguing because of how sick she is, since he loves to travel and go out. I’ve known a couple of people that have had it and been fine, but seeing my friend STILL going through this after months has opened my eyes to how serious it can be.

@@Kristenn666 Thank you so much for your kind words💜 For some, it seems to be no big deal for their bodies, for others this changed our lives. My mom got it AFTER 2 shots and 2 boosters. She now has permanent vertigo. My sister got it after 2 shots and 2 boosters, but has Lupus and had to have a blood transfusion and special medicines to save her life, but now has no after effects. I'm truly sorry for what your friend is facing. Going from being a healthy 20 something to being chronically ill, is scary and sad. I'm so glad she has you as a friend. Someone who understands and can love her..even if from afar. Tomorrow I take my son to yet another specialist. A Rheumatologist to somehow make sense of yet more symptoms he can't seem to shake. At this point we just need answers and a plan, so we can treat something... anything. I wish all of us were able to fight this thing easily and life would just go back to normal 😔 It's crazy how this thing picks and chooses. My daughter is immune compromised (Type 1 diabetic) and yet she has no effects after COVID. My husband is healthy and had his shots and he got a slight cold and was good. My other son who has psoriadic arthritis (kinda like RA) and asthma, has gotten it a few times (different strains), but powered through it and is doing well. You just never know who or how it will effect someone. Lots of love to you and your friend. May she find the help she needs and may her body find a way to help itself. 💗

Yooo thanks for the kind words man 🙌
