An Uber Driver Exacts Revenge After Customer Refuses to Pay for Her Ride

Uber drivers get to see it all.

Considering that they drive at all times of day and night, and have no idea what their passengers will be like before they meet, it’s a wonder that they’re often so cheerful and patient.

This is extra true when you consider how many Uber drivers encounter customers who are a bit entitled.

One San Diego-based driver shared that back in 2018, a lot of customers were privy to a trick. If they didn’t want to pay for their ride, they would “accidentally” cancel the ride during the trip.

After canceling the trip, the customers would often ask if the driver would just finish the drive. You know, since it was an “accident” and all.

This driver got fed up with the tactic and decided to exact revenge.

Uber was super popular in the region at the time (and still is), so business was pretty great. That is, when customers would pay.

This had to be such an annoying thing to experience. Customers looking for free rides is the worst! A lot of Uber drivers really need the money.

The driver says they picked up a new customer and could tell this person had money so assumed it would be fine.

Unfortunately, she canceled the ride… as it was happening.

The driver asked the woman to rebook the route, considering it was already happening… but she said no.

The woman flat-out insisted that the driver keep going, even though she clearly had no plans to pay.

So the driver came up with a new plan.

So the exit signs are getting smaller, they’re getting closer to the border… she’s probably totally freaking out!

Hopefully, this customer learned a little lesson in not acting entitled when you’re trying to scam someone who is providing you a service. Uber drivers are people, too.

Some people had a few thoughts about what happened…

Because this is kind of a crazy situation…

A Driver and an Elderly Woman Had a Surprisingly Deep Talk About Love and Sex

Taking a ride can sometimes be an adventure.

You never know what kind of conversation you’re gonna have when you take a ride in an Uber, Lyft, or a taxi. And on the flip side of that, the drivers don’t know what they’re going to get, either.

A Twitter user who works as a driver shared the story of an interaction she had with an elderly woman that shed a lot of light about love, sex, relationships, and life.

This is how the story began…

Wow. That’s quite an admission…especially to a stranger. But the old woman obviously needed someone to talk to and, for one reason or another, believed she could confide in her driver.

The story continued.

That’s a pretty incredible explanation. Perhaps this driver also moonlights as a writer in her spare time? The elderly passenger responded to the driver’s description of sex with a woman. She opened up and told the younger woman about her own life experiences and how she never felt fully satisfied with men.

 

The woman then talked about how she wished her generation would have had different attitudes and beliefs about sex and relationships. It’s interesting to think about how many people in her age group probably feel exactly the same way she does.

The senior citizen also told the driver that she and her best friend now live together.

The driver took the woman to her doctor’s appointment and scheduled to pick her back up when it was over. There’s no way that could have been the end of this story.

The driver returned and picked the woman up after her appointment and took her home.

And here’s the final tweet in the thread. And it is a good one.

Is that a tearjerker or what?

A beautiful story about love, life, and kindness.

Be good to each other!

Rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft have changed the transportation game and made a car ride readily accessible to everyone. But, in return for that convenience, you get kind of a mixed bag when it comes to the driver that you get.

You might get the silent type of driver who doesn’t want to say a word, or you might get a total chatterbox who tells you their life story. Or you might just get a total character.

Brilliant Uber Driver Wins the Internet with Menu of 5 Different ‘Ride Types’

Uber has undeniably revolutionized the transportation business. One of my favorite aspects of Uber is the rating system, which lets drivers and passengers rate one another out of 5 stars.

One Uber driver recently went the extra mile to give his passengers more control over their ride experience. This was first brought to the world’s attention via Twitter user @LuisLovesGoats.

The options include: Stand Up, Silent Ride, Therapy Ride, Creepy Ride, and (surprisingly) Rude Ride.

Since Lui was feeling a little down that day, he chose the “Therapy Ride.” It wasn’t long before Lui’s tweets went viral.

Naturally, people absolutely loved it.

Sadly, Lui only had the driver’s first name (George) to go off of, and he had some difficulty getting in touch with him to let him know he’d gone viral. But, the internet being what it is, people eventually tracked him down.

George even got on Twitter himself to thank everyone.

Thanks to the exposure, George now has thousands of new followers, and he shared a clearer shot of his menu for people to enjoy:

He also added how humbling and enjoyable this entire experience has been.

If you’d like to show some love to George, you can hit up the GoFundMe he started to get an automatic car, since Seattle’s hilly terrain can be pretty rough on his transmission.

Uber drivers in China changed…

Uber drivers in China changed their profile photos to ghosts and zombie images so that when potential passengers saw these pictures they would cancel the ride they’d just booked, thus earning the driver the cancellation fee. 00
