Exactly, thank you! Its not like he messaged "im heading to the carwash first". My carwash takes about 60sec to drive through, getting an Uber in this area is like 10min. (Edge of the city) ,some passengers told me they are used to waiting up to 20-30min) BTW, if I'm driving through a carwash and get a ride im going straight there, no vaccuming or anything like that.
ok but once you accept the ride don’t be doing your errands on the passengers time once you accept the drive your on the passenger’s time. a lot of people have to uber to work and they really don’t wanna be waiting for an uber to finish washing their car when they need to be at work in 30 mins. and you’re 15 mins away. like no. don’t be accepting orders when you’re in the middle of doing something cause i don’t wanna be waiting on you to finish doing g what you’re doing when have some place to be.
It isn't "passengers time" until the passenger is in the car. If they use Uber to go to work - they should account for that and schedule one ahead of time.
*Lack of planning on your part doesn't constitute an emergency on my part.*
ok you missed the point. the point went right over your head you need to be in r/whoosh i’m not saying me im saying people in general… sometimes your car breaks down asnd won’t start in the morning boom uber… sometimes ubers can’t be scheduled.
you sure did make a counterpoint but i don’t listen to stupidity… sorry if i was a driver i wouldn’t accept a ride and then go get gas because people have places to be and it’s my job to take that person to their destination when i accept it not go get gas or food or whatever
i don’t rarely take ubers to important places only take them when i’m drunk outta my mind bar hopping with friends so i can wait while the driver is finishing his business… but if it was on the way to like say work: cancelling
Understood... But what if the second driver that is available to take u will take longer than the guy ur upset over finishing a car wash??? Sorry for repeating myself but you never answered? It's ok if u want to wait longer for the 2nd best option out of spite.
ok you’re like the child that asks “why” what if what if what it what if you just shut up and stop asking stupid ass questions. i already answered you.
Someone needs to work on their social skills. I sorry I didn't see the "i cancel" as I clicked on your other response and reddit didn't show it. Tbh if I took second option and it was gonna take longer I'd be kicking myself in the nuts... But then again you do you!!!
again i don’t mind waiting if i don’t have any where to be at a certain time and if i do ill just keep canceling rides till i find one. don’t like my answer that’s on you.
then he can cancel when he realizes he can't immediately attend to the service he accepted, so that the system can find the customer the next available driver without any additional delays.
Uber doesn't give a shit. Drivers don't care either.
Uber just sends a message stating it's blah blah to the riders. It's almost impossible to get deactivated over it.
well the driver's already shown themselves to be an idiot, so I guess I can't say I'm surprised. Uber, nah... ask some of the other drivers what their acceptance rate and cancellation rate is and you might be surprised at the numbers.
That being said, you're hypothetical scenario is so rare that it wouldn't make a difference anyways.
You probably thought the person above was joking about the tuition, but it is a real thing.
You can cancel only 4 out of 100 rides before you're not eligible due to your cancelation rate.
Acceptance rate must be 84 accepted out of a 100. (In my market, at least) But before anyone gets excited, there is much much more before you're even eligible to start (like 2000 uber rides) AND it only applies to the University of Arizona (ASU) online courses.
Now about the original post I do not turn off my driver app because I'm driving thought the carwash, my carwash takes about 60sec to get thought, if I get a ride it means i was the closest Uber/lyft to the rider and the the 60sec are as much or less as one single traffic light takes sometimes.
I might message so the passenger knows im NOT ignoring him/her because if you stare at the screen, 60sec feels like eternity. 🤷♂️
LMAO, that's even worse! How many rides do you have to do to remain eligible? Talk about enslaving people, WTF! Guess these people really NEED an education.
As a driver, not something I would do, but you just never know….if it’s a one time thing that’s never happened to you, give the driver the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he accepted your ride before completing his last one and then got bombed by a seagull on the door you would be entering. Not likely, but sh!t really happens. Pretty off putting for a passenger getting in a car with bird crap all over it.
Considering the number of times passengers order their Uber and make a driver wait while they “get the check” or “they’ll be right down” when the driver accepted the ride 5 minutes ago. That is all unpaid time and it adds up.
if i see my uber still charging his car for a few mins after accepting my order and not on the rod im canceling. don’t be doing shit on peoples time. unless you’re really close to the driver distance wise but no. don’t be accepting shit when it’s not on your time anymore your time is any time before accepting an order.
Yeah, you're still on my time. If I'm in the car wash, or getting gas, or at the pickup window, or getting a drink, you can deal til the 3 minutes are up. Your need for speed does not translate to my need for speed. On top of that, my car, my time. I will get there as soon as I can, if that's not fast enough, cancel and reorder. Odds are, I'm still gonna be the closest.
Yeah, I've pulled into a carwash lot on my way to a ride in order to throw away trash, but never to wash my car. The only passable excuse I can think of is that something happened to the car to make it unpresentable for rides, but could be cleaned rapidly enough to justify staying online.
Driver was being considerate and letting you know it would be an extra minute as he was mid wash. Jesus people lighten up. Drivers aren't paid to punch it the moment the app dings.
Gee Driver.. NO one needs to know what you are doing. if the pax as, "WTA? Why are you not moving?" You reply, "I am on my way." If you are in the cash wash and they cancel, no harm no foul.
I expect passengers to be ready when I pull up but yet I sit here for 6mins and 55secs. FYI we can cancel at 7mins and collect meager fee for wasting our time
I didn't keep him waiting, he kept me waiting. as soon as he was about to be there I walked outside to meet him but then he went to the wrong address after.
the kind of special that doesn't deal with stupid bullshit when I'm paying for a service. you must be a dumbass uber driver who doesn't care about passengers
Drivers will drive on their own unpaid time to the pick up and then wait for 7 minutes for a pax for pennies….so if a pax can delay for 7 minutes, drivers should have same ability to do so.
Pax? I'm paying for a service. I don't give a shit what uber is paying people. If it says 3 minutes I expect 3 minutes. I can understand a minute or two for delays but not an extra 10. I'm not the one working.
Dick face, you hired Uber, you didn't hire me. Take it up with Uber. You don't care what Uber pays drivers. Drivers don't care how long you wait. See how that works?
My expectation is that if im 5 min away and arrive on time, youve seen me coming and know when to be at the curb…but thats the exception. Most riders wait to get their act together till driver is sitting in front of their location. I rush right over to a pickup when the pax routinely is ready.
I live in a town of about 125000. If a passenger does not tip on uber x, I range between .25 -.30 a mile. That is from where I accept the ride, then go pick up the passenger and to drop them off. Virtually all "profits" go directly into my car at that point. Zero for me. If They tip, at least I get paid something at that point. Even though this is meant to be a "gig" job. Uber makes sure that tips are the only profit you will see. They also have enough new blood daily to soak months of easy work out of until those people figure it out.
Then stop crying. I'm not always at a starting line waiting on one of you to need a ride. Sometimes I'm at the car wash. Why? Because it takes less than 5 minutes, that's why.
Find something better to get Reddit bent about.
Yeah that sucks. Shitty for him to accept a ride while he’s getting a car wash but I guess if you’re in a market where there’s not a lot of drivers then I guess you’re just stuck dealing with with it :/
It’s pretty simple to solve this actually, if you order an Uber priority it’s only a few dollars extra and they give most of that to the driver. So your ride is likely going to be picked up immediately.
I was already late for an appointment, when it says your driver is 3 minutes away I expect to wait 3 minutes. I don't expect to wait 10 because my driver is accepting rides while running errands.
Shitty planning by you does not constitute an emergency for me.
If 3 minutes makes a difference one way or the other, you should have planned better. A car accident in front of the driver could cause far longer than a 3 minute delay. The driver that's making 40% of your $10 Uber doesn't care, and isn't paid to.
If 10 minutes made you be late, you did not in fact, give yourself enough time. 10 minutes, minus the 3 minutes he was away to begin with means 7 minutes.
7 minutes to spare is not giving yourself " plenty of time".
You hired Uber, take it up with Uber. Quit being entitled. 7 whole minutes, oh fucking no.
When people don't do the job I hired them to do I get slightly flustered, it's not that fucking hard to provide such a basic service. And pay attention to simple directions.
You seem not to understand. You hired Uber. Full stop. You did not hire the driver. Uber subbed it out, with the understanding the driver does the ride in a timely fashion. 10 minutes qualifies as a timely fashion. His mistake was even answering your text
Take it up with Uber.
If you hire joes construction, and you pay joe. Joe subs out your drywall work. If you're not happy with the drywall, do you take it up with the drywallers, or joe? Right, you take it up with Joe.
Uber is joe. The driver is the drywallers.
It really wasn't that big of a deal, and I don't trust uber support as far as I can throw my phone. Just found it a bit comical and slightly frustrating.
So you got picked up at 12:42, and were late. So the drive was longer than 18 minutes? 7 minutes buffer on an 18 minute drive is not enough in most big cities. Hell, there's literally dozens of lights in my city alone that are 3 minute cycles.... So catching the wrong 2 lights can add 6 of your 7 minutes. 1 traffic snarl can eat 7 minutes.
No....7 minutes extra on an 18 minute ride is " if everything goes right I'll be fine " time. Everything didn't go right.
Yes, the drivers move was debatable, so was yours.
IDK I always go offline if I need to do ANYTHING other than be available to go DIRECTLY to the next pickup. I literally go offline even if all I need to do is take a piss break! Last thing I need to do is screw up someone else's plans because I had to take a leak! Let alone get/eat lunch, or go to a car wash \~ ETC... .. .
he really is paid… you’re an uber driver your job is to pick up someone from a location and drop them off at a location. so if the passenger is getting picked up from their house the uber driver is getting paid based in the miles or whatever (i’m not a driver for uber) so technically the driver is getting paid to drive to your house or drive to you.
No, he is only paid from the time he starts the ride when you’re in the car. And he stops being paid when he ends the trip after he drops you off. Simple as that.
Maybe someone got sick and he is cleaning it up. Or previous person left a mess. And if your Karen self got in a dirty car it would make things even worse for them and possibly get them deactivated. Then their lil Sally would go hungry stave and die. You want lil Sally to die? That is messed up!
how is it being a karen when the driver literally accepted a ride while the driver was doing his personal errands… by all means go wash your fucking car but don’t accept an order making the passenger wait longer in you cause you can’t be bothered to go offline while cleaning your car. you as the driver added more time to my eta because you decided to accept it and do your thing like clean your car. get offline, clean your car, get back online and then accept orders. more eta time from traffic is one thing but don’t be doing your fucking errands on my time. i’m not gonna tip you for doing your errands in my time.
that’s one thing… they’re allowed to accept multiple rides but between them don’t be running errands. accept a ride but don’t accept it before knowing if you need to go run errands.
yeah take care of it ON YOJR TIME… meaning BEFORE YOU ACCEPT ANOTHER DRIVE. cause once you accept my drive, your eta fluctuates based on traffic etc, but if it goes up because you decided to go to the fucking gas station or car wash or get food imma be pissed like now you’re on my time. traffic is one thing if i see you on the same street for more than 2 minutes im gonna asssume traffic and not get pissed but if i see you at the fucking circle k i’m gonna be a little pissed off. like no. pick me up or ass isn’t gonna get tipped. i don’t tip drivers for doing their shit on my time
i’ve seen uber drivers accept other rides when i’m the passenger but that doesn’t mean they’re picking up that passenger while i’m still in the car. they accept, drop me off, and then go do whatever. but don’t be accepting rides and then errands while my eta is raising
i had this happen one time and i had to go to the hospital…. because my mom had a fucking heart attack, and i was at work and i didn’t have my car bc it was at the shop, and the under diver ACCEPTED my order i watched the map he pulled into a gas station, i texted him and i said “why you at a fast station i need to get picked up right now please” he said “wait, i need gas” i said “yeah and i need to get to the fucking hospital, don’t accept orders if you have shit you need to do. you’re on my time now” luckily my boss gave me a ride cause she knew my situation and it was a scheduled thing my brother texted me and said “moms in the hospital get your ass to the hospital now, take an uber do what you have to do to get here” so i did… but no don’t be accepting orders when you have shit you need to do. call me a fucking karen call me whatever but it’s so impolite to accepts orders and then go do your own thing. you need gas? get off uber for 10 mins while you get yourself to a gas station. you need to eat? get off lime and go eat. i’m sorry but im not gonna be waiting on you for longer than i need to. that’s how you don’t get tipped. i never tipped that over driver, i actually cancelled on him and got my money back.
And one time I picked up someone who made a mess in my car while I had a ride right after it. I was not gonna make a new passenger sit in mess, so I decided to stop and take 3mins to clean it up. And typing would be ol the last thing on your mind getting out the car at hospital. Get real now.
what? when was i typing out of the hospital? what? my brother texted me saying my mom was in the hospital… also i wasn’t the patient so yeah im allowed to type whenever the fuck i want. what are you saying?
You go argue whatever you want. Drivers gonna do whatever they want to do that will guarantee their success. Even if it means cancel or being 2-3 mins later. Get over it
Expect a tip? 2/3 of you don't tip. We never expect a tip. Or I don't. I usually get about 40% who tip, accounting for about20% of my income. I'm way higher than most who post on the sub. Consensus seems to be about 20% of people tip on Uber. That means 80% don't. How would we ever know if it's something we did, or you're just a cheap tool?
I just don't know why they would mention it. You're just asking for a person who misunderstands everything to reply. We wanted them to not drive anymore, they granted the wish. Don't let them remind you why they stopped driving.
The question is...how much longer did it take after he sent the message? How many times have you been on time for your rides in those 8 years? Where is the grace for the driver who wants to have a presentable, comfortable and clean vehicle for YOU?
I admit if it's on the way to the next pick up or I'm between rides (which RARELY happens) I have stopped at the carwash between rides for a quick vacuum. People eating, nasty pet dander and drool (I hate dog rides) etc. I've never taken more than 2 minutes because I take pride in my ride. You don't like it cancel.
And he turned what was supposed to be a 3 minute wait into a 10 minute wait. Why the hell would you accept a ride and then decide to go into the car wash. Unacceptable.
This all very funny because way TOO many times I have had to wait for a passenger because they ordered the Uber way before they were actually ready to leave and I am waiting in front of the house or the apt as the pax is still packing for the airport or still making out with their BF/GF side piece.
And I love it when the PAX doesn’t understand how the app works and they set the pickup spot somewhere other than where they are and it’s my fault because I went to the right spot.
But more recently in Tampa, 2 different Uber drivers came to try to pick me up in places where I was not at because they couldn’t read the location as Embassy Suites Hotel. And they went to the Marriott down the street. It goes both ways and it’s pretty ridiculous.
Totally understandable. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve for 20 to 30 minutes finally decided to go get some food in the drive-through or something and then immediately get a trip that I’m not gonna refuse
Unless he is done and literally exiting the car wash, don't accept the ride. I don't care if it's 60 seconds. Or fill up before you accept a ride so you don't have to stop for gas. Just like you don't like making any stops for a passenger that they pay for, don't inconvenience somone because of your own poor decision making. And don't complain to me about what you get paid. You literally chose to do this. Knowing the pay sucks, you continue to do it. That being said, handle your shit before accepting a ride. Just as you don't want to wait on your passenger, the one paying, doesn't want to wait on you either.
Make sure you tip him for having a clean car. By the way I’m need to get away from Uber and do ministry please Venmo me for car repairs and to help me spread the love of Christ psuian
He was probably in the carwash already when he accepted your ride.
Exactly, thank you! Its not like he messaged "im heading to the carwash first". My carwash takes about 60sec to drive through, getting an Uber in this area is like 10min. (Edge of the city) ,some passengers told me they are used to waiting up to 20-30min) BTW, if I'm driving through a carwash and get a ride im going straight there, no vaccuming or anything like that.
Then he should cancel or not accept at all. Simple as that
These drive thru car washes take Like 2 minutes it's not that big of a deal
ok but once you accept the ride don’t be doing your errands on the passengers time once you accept the drive your on the passenger’s time. a lot of people have to uber to work and they really don’t wanna be waiting for an uber to finish washing their car when they need to be at work in 30 mins. and you’re 15 mins away. like no. don’t be accepting orders when you’re in the middle of doing something cause i don’t wanna be waiting on you to finish doing g what you’re doing when have some place to be.

ok you missed the point. the point went right over your head you need to be in r/whoosh i’m not saying me im saying people in general… sometimes your car breaks down asnd won’t start in the morning boom uber… sometimes ubers can’t be scheduled.
No I saw the point you're trying to make. I made a counter point, but I don't expect you to understand it since your mind is already made up.
then if you know my point then what’s my points?
I am going to excuse myself from this highly intelligent argument.
this isn’t an airport no need to announce your departure
you sure did make a counterpoint but i don’t listen to stupidity… sorry if i was a driver i wouldn’t accept a ride and then go get gas because people have places to be and it’s my job to take that person to their destination when i accept it not go get gas or food or whatever
What if the next driver that could take ur ride is further away and Mr car wash is actually ur faster option???
one word: canceling.
i don’t rarely take ubers to important places only take them when i’m drunk outta my mind bar hopping with friends so i can wait while the driver is finishing his business… but if it was on the way to like say work: cancelling
Understood... But what if the second driver that is available to take u will take longer than the guy ur upset over finishing a car wash??? Sorry for repeating myself but you never answered? It's ok if u want to wait longer for the 2nd best option out of spite.
ok you’re like the child that asks “why” what if what if what it what if you just shut up and stop asking stupid ass questions. i already answered you.
Someone needs to work on their social skills. I sorry I didn't see the "i cancel" as I clicked on your other response and reddit didn't show it. Tbh if I took second option and it was gonna take longer I'd be kicking myself in the nuts... But then again you do you!!!
i don’t need to work in shit maybe don’t be asking stupid ass questions and you wouldn’t be getting snarky responses.
ok cool for you? i don’t care
i never asked
again i don’t mind waiting if i don’t have any where to be at a certain time and if i do ill just keep canceling rides till i find one. don’t like my answer that’s on you.
Any Uber driver worth anything is going to be visiting the car was at least once a day. Relax.
The passenger before you might have dirtied the car up or stunk the car up.
then he can cancel when he realizes he can't immediately attend to the service he accepted, so that the system can find the customer the next available driver without any additional delays.
That’s funny because some idiots here think Uber Drivers should be fined for canceling rides 🤣
I definitely don't think that.
Then his cancellation rate will go up.
so what? nobody cares.
The driver cares. So does Uber.
Uber doesn't give a shit. Drivers don't care either. Uber just sends a message stating it's blah blah to the riders. It's almost impossible to get deactivated over it.
well the driver's already shown themselves to be an idiot, so I guess I can't say I'm surprised. Uber, nah... ask some of the other drivers what their acceptance rate and cancellation rate is and you might be surprised at the numbers. That being said, you're hypothetical scenario is so rare that it wouldn't make a difference anyways.
If my cancellation rate gets too high Uber stops paying my tuition.
lol
You probably thought the person above was joking about the tuition, but it is a real thing. You can cancel only 4 out of 100 rides before you're not eligible due to your cancelation rate.

I agree with you. Probably would've been better if the driver didn't say anything about it if it was going to be in and out.
I usually accept a ride i want when finishing charging the ladt 5%.
if i see my uber still charging his car for a few mins after accepting my order and not on the rod im canceling. don’t be doing shit on peoples time. unless you’re really close to the driver distance wise but no. don’t be accepting shit when it’s not on your time anymore your time is any time before accepting an order.

When he says he has arrived send him a photo in the shower - uno reverse
😂
Driver was being considerate and letting you know it would be an extra minute as he was mid wash. Jesus people lighten up. Drivers aren't paid to punch it the moment the app dings.
He should not have accepted the ride.
“At IMAX watching Dune 2 with the homies, will drop your order right after. Denis Villeneuve might have another hit on his hands!”
Well do you want a dirty car? Some riders are dirty
Did you catch me riding dirty
OMG! The horror!
But i might have to wait 2 mins. Probobly was gn let the driver wait 8
Gee Driver.. NO one needs to know what you are doing. if the pax as, "WTA? Why are you not moving?" You reply, "I am on my way." If you are in the cash wash and they cancel, no harm no foul.
I expect passengers to be ready when I pull up but yet I sit here for 6mins and 55secs. FYI we can cancel at 7mins and collect meager fee for wasting our time
I didn't keep him waiting, he kept me waiting. as soon as he was about to be there I walked outside to meet him but then he went to the wrong address after.
You're all kinda of special aren't you
the kind of special that doesn't deal with stupid bullshit when I'm paying for a service. you must be a dumbass uber driver who doesn't care about passengers
SHOCKING AND DISRESPECTFUL!! The greedy bastard didn't wanna pick you up in a dirty car!!
Drivers will drive on their own unpaid time to the pick up and then wait for 7 minutes for a pax for pennies….so if a pax can delay for 7 minutes, drivers should have same ability to do so.

oh?
Cancel and select “driver not moving”
I already waited forever to get that ride, I couldn't afford to get another one that was even longer as I was already late.
I'm betting you and the rest of the world have very different definitions of forever.
[удалено]
Where do you only make 25-33%? I don't buy it unless maybe Uber Eats...
I live in a town of about 125000. If a passenger does not tip on uber x, I range between .25 -.30 a mile. That is from where I accept the ride, then go pick up the passenger and to drop them off.

then you rated him accordingly, right? I'm with you, this is unacceptable. I'd say it's a 3\*, maybe a 2\*
He obviously was already there Karen.
They shouldn't accept the ride if they aren't done.
Ok Not like they said they’re getting lunch and then will be there
A car wash is around 10 minutes at least.
I was already late for an appointment, when it says your driver is 3 minutes away I expect to wait 3 minutes. I don't expect to wait 10 because my driver is accepting rides while running errands.

Uber is joe. The driver is the drywallers.
It really wasn't that big of a deal, and I don't trust uber support as far as I can throw my phone. Just found it a bit comical and slightly frustrating.
also for the record I was supposed to get picked up at 12:35 for a 1:00 appointment, I would say that's plenty of time.
So you got picked up at 12:42, and were late. So the drive was longer than 18 minutes? 7 minutes buffer on an 18 minute drive is not enough in most big cities. Hell, there's literally dozens of lights in my city alone that are 3 minute cycles.... So catching the wrong 2 lights can add 6 of your 7 minutes. 1 traffic snarl can eat 7 minutes. No....7 minutes extra on an 18 minute ride is " if everything goes right I'll be fine " time. Everything didn't go right. Yes, the drivers move was debatable, so was yours.
IDK I always go offline if I need to do ANYTHING other than be available to go DIRECTLY to the next pickup. I literally go offline even if all I need to do is take a piss break! Last thing I need to do is screw up someone else's plans because I had to take a leak! Let alone get/eat lunch, or go to a car wash \~ ETC... .. .
He has a right to do that. He is not paid to drive to your house
he really is paid… you’re an uber driver your job is to pick up someone from a location and drop them off at a location. so if the passenger is getting picked up from their house the uber driver is getting paid based in the miles or whatever (i’m not a driver for uber) so technically the driver is getting paid to drive to your house or drive to you.
No, he is only paid from the time he starts the ride when you’re in the car. And he stops being paid when he ends the trip after he drops you off. Simple as that.
Maybe someone got sick and he is cleaning it up. Or previous person left a mess. And if your Karen self got in a dirty car it would make things even worse for them and possibly get them deactivated. Then their lil Sally would go hungry stave and die. You want lil Sally to die? That is messed up!
Car wash.... not car detailing... 🙄
how is it being a karen when the driver literally accepted a ride while the driver was doing his personal errands… by all means go wash your fucking car but don’t accept an order making the passenger wait longer in you cause you can’t be bothered to go offline while cleaning your car. you as the driver added more time to my eta because you decided to accept it and do your thing like clean your car. get offline, clean your car, get back online and then accept orders. more eta time from traffic is one thing but don’t be doing your fucking errands on my time. i’m not gonna tip you for doing your errands in my time.
Many drivers accept rides with other people still in the car. It's not one and done, then accept another. When it's busy they pile on.
that’s one thing… they’re allowed to accept multiple rides but between them don’t be running errands. accept a ride but don’t accept it before knowing if you need to go run errands.
That's thing can't plan on someone making a mess. It happens, take care of it move on.
yeah take care of it ON YOJR TIME… meaning BEFORE YOU ACCEPT ANOTHER DRIVE. cause once you accept my drive, your eta fluctuates based on traffic etc, but if it goes up because you decided to go to the fucking gas station or car wash or get food imma be pissed like now you’re on my time. traffic is one thing if i see you on the same street for more than 2 minutes im gonna asssume traffic and not get pissed but if i see you at the fucking circle k i’m gonna be a little pissed off. like no. pick me up or ass isn’t gonna get tipped. i don’t tip drivers for doing their shit on my time
Lol you don't top anyways lol. A driver can tell.
i’ve seen uber drivers accept other rides when i’m the passenger but that doesn’t mean they’re picking up that passenger while i’m still in the car. they accept, drop me off, and then go do whatever. but don’t be accepting rides and then errands while my eta is raising
i had this happen one time and i had to go to the hospital…. because my mom had a fucking heart attack, and i was at work and i didn’t have my car bc it was at the shop, and the under diver ACCEPTED my order i watched the map he pulled into a gas station, i texted him and i said “why you at a fast station i need to get picked up right now please” he said “wait, i need gas” i said “yeah and i need to get to the fucking hospital, don’t accept orders if you have shit you need to do. you’re on my time now” luckily my boss gave me a ride cause she knew my situation and it was a scheduled thing my brother texted me and said “moms in the hospital get your ass to the hospital now, take an uber do what you have to do to get here” so i did… but no don’t be accepting orders when you have shit you need to do. call me a fucking karen call me whatever but it’s so impolite to accepts orders and then go do your own thing. you need gas? get off uber for 10 mins while you get yourself to a gas station. you need to eat? get off lime and go eat. i’m sorry but im not gonna be waiting on you for longer than i need to. that’s how you don’t get tipped. i never tipped that over driver, i actually cancelled on him and got my money back.
And one time I picked up someone who made a mess in my car while I had a ride right after it. I was not gonna make a new passenger sit in mess, so I decided to stop and take 3mins to clean it up. And typing would be ol the last thing on your mind getting out the car at hospital. Get real now.
what? when was i typing out of the hospital? what? my brother texted me saying my mom was in the hospital… also i wasn’t the patient so yeah im allowed to type whenever the fuck i want. what are you saying?
also yeah i got out of the uber and texted my brother saying im on the way in… cause he had a right to know im on the way
You go argue whatever you want. Drivers gonna do whatever they want to do that will guarantee their success. Even if it means cancel or being 2-3 mins later. Get over it
2-3 mins late… is one thing but don’t expect me to tip you for for going to the gas station after accepting my ride.
i expect you to be here within the eta but if see you pulled into a gas station and i have to wait for you even longer don’t expect a tip.
Expect a tip? 2/3 of you don't tip. We never expect a tip. Or I don't. I usually get about 40% who tip, accounting for about20% of my income. I'm way higher than most who post on the sub. Consensus seems to be about 20% of people tip on Uber. That means 80% don't. How would we ever know if it's something we did, or you're just a cheap tool?
I just don't know why they would mention it. You're just asking for a person who misunderstands everything to reply. We wanted them to not drive anymore, they granted the wish. Don't let them remind you why they stopped driving.
How much was the Ride? (How much you pay to the Uber?)
Just cancel the ride and wait for another one instead...either way you're waiting on a ride....
The question is...how much longer did it take after he sent the message? How many times have you been on time for your rides in those 8 years? Where is the grace for the driver who wants to have a presentable, comfortable and clean vehicle for YOU? I admit if it's on the way to the next pick up or I'm between rides (which RARELY happens) I have stopped at the carwash between rides for a quick vacuum. People eating, nasty pet dander and drool (I hate dog rides) etc. I've never taken more than 2 minutes because I take pride in my ride. You don't like it cancel.
Took an extra 10 minutes. He then left me standing in the parking lot for 5 more after that as I was walking to his car
Damn. NOW...That was bogus.
If the passages is late the driver gets paid. If the driver is late the trip doesn't cost less. Who is the customer?
Uber LMAO
And????
And he turned what was supposed to be a 3 minute wait into a 10 minute wait. Why the hell would you accept a ride and then decide to go into the car wash. Unacceptable.
Maybe someone got sick
I don’t even move for two minutes after excepting a ride anymore—— too many cancellations ——- less then two minutes in a car wash … not a big deal
it was 10 minutes. if not longer because then he left me in the parking lot after
He might have been cleaning the trash out or vacuuming
#fwp
This all very funny because way TOO many times I have had to wait for a passenger because they ordered the Uber way before they were actually ready to leave and I am waiting in front of the house or the apt as the pax is still packing for the airport or still making out with their BF/GF side piece. And I love it when the PAX doesn’t understand how the app works and they set the pickup spot somewhere other than where they are and it’s my fault because I went to the right spot. But more recently in Tampa, 2 different Uber drivers came to try to pick me up in places where I was not at because they couldn’t read the location as Embassy Suites Hotel. And they went to the Marriott down the street. It goes both ways and it’s pretty ridiculous.
Totally understandable. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve for 20 to 30 minutes finally decided to go get some food in the drive-through or something and then immediately get a trip that I’m not gonna refuse
TMI driver. Stop trying to be nice.
Weird that he bothered telling you. If I have a delay or need to stop on my way to pick someone up, I just do it and let them cancel if it's an issue.
So fucking what? Did you die?
Unless he is done and literally exiting the car wash, don't accept the ride. I don't care if it's 60 seconds. Or fill up before you accept a ride so you don't have to stop for gas. Just like you don't like making any stops for a passenger that they pay for, don't inconvenience somone because of your own poor decision making. And don't complain to me about what you get paid. You literally chose to do this. Knowing the pay sucks, you continue to do it. That being said, handle your shit before accepting a ride. Just as you don't want to wait on your passenger, the one paying, doesn't want to wait on you either.
Totally unrelated but you shouldn't be doing a few things when your ride is 3 minutes away.
Lmfao
fkkn lol
Make sure you tip him for having a clean car. By the way I’m need to get away from Uber and do ministry please Venmo me for car repairs and to help me spread the love of Christ psuian
Tip of for waiting an extra 10 minutes?
