when I first drove them one girl sneezed in my car and I called her a super spreader, and she left her purse in my car. I ended up dropping off her purse. Then the next day I kissed her roomate on the right and she found out and texted me

This is what I would have made in a month anyway. I took a W2 to get away from this.

i got touched by a dude once and I got in a defensive state then he ran out of my car like a weasel

One mf tried to get me to add a stop before dropping everyone else off. I said no. Then soon after that he says he’s going to go “crank hog and walk” There was another guy and girl in my car when he said that and the girl got embarassed and told him to chill then the guy that said that said ”you wouldn’t understand you’re not a guy”

WTFFFF CRANK HOG AND WALK WTF DOES THAT MEAN????

wack off then go for a walk? Or walk while waking off? 😂😂😂

Haha!

Pull up to the pin like normal, and this guy instantly texts me "building S on the far left" like I’m Shrek and I’m supposed to hike through an apartment complex just to deliver his royal feast.

​Not happening. The pin is the only place my tires are touching. If I’m not sitting directly on that green dot, the timer doesn't tick—and if I move, that’s on me. So I firmly plant my ass on the pin and stare straight ahead like a stone gargoyle.

​About two minutes in, I spot him on the map moving towards me through the swamp. But I’ve already got the math running in my head: bro has 4 minutes to make it to my car from the time I arrived before he gets officially refused entry into the vehicle.

​He’s taking his sweet time. Sure enough, as 4 minutes passes I see him in my rearview as I pull around the block to let the rest of the cancel timer run out in peace.

​Uber is "push of a button" service. That doesn't mean service to wherever your feet decide to wander—it means service where you put the damn pin.

This is God awful!

Is anybody having an issue when uploading their documentation for their health insurance for the eligibility of the stipend? I’ve been submitting it for the past 15 days and it keeps getting rejected. I wasn’t having these issues the previous quarters or even last year. It’s always been the same document I upload.

I’ve talked to support on the phone, I’ve asked to speak to supervisors and they keep telling me to submit it again.
I even asked if a supervisor can manually review and approve it. They straight out lied and said Uber isn’t in charge of approving those documents. (Mind you this was a supervisor, and she hung up the phone after saying that).

I just want to know if anyone else is having this issue and if they found a way to get past this.

(For reference I have Kaiser as my insurance). I don’t know if that helps.

Hello!

I’m posting this as a means to help future drivers during the signup process, as I’ve seen other people facing this same issue.

When I went to sign up to become a driver, I was having issues with my insurance verification. My name is not on my insurance card, but Uber wouldn’t accept the card nor my insurance declaration with my name on it. I tried every method.

If you’re having this issue, call Uber support. As soon as an agent picks up, notify them that your insurance (or whatever document) is NOT going thru in the system, nor thru “escalation”. Ask to speak with a supervisor. They will transfer you to a supervisor who will review it over the phone and can validate it on the spot.

I’d been going back and forth with support for a WEEK trying to get this all sorted out, trying different methods suggested by Uber, Google, and Reddit. This is the only solution that worked for me (after maybe 50 rejected attempts?), and I wanted to share it since I know I’m not the only one to have dealt with this issue.

Happy money maki—I mean driving!

(P.s. I feel dumb to not have thought about asking for a supervisor before, but no one had told me to try it before. Any time I was OTP with a human, they said it would get “escalated” to some mysterious entity that never ended up working anyways)

They're desperate for new drivers, but still pushing shit offers lmao and with gas as high as it is, I wouldn't refer my worst enemy to drive for these greedy assclowns 🤡

Hunger pains ain’t worth much nowadays 🤦🏾‍♂️

Was reported for unsafe driving was cleared then hours later was banned and then the appealed didn’t do anything it was held. It’s a stressful job. Eat of luck to yall on the ride. Fuck those customers trying to get free rides.

Please don’t accept offers like this. Have some pride about yourselves people. Know your worth!!!

Hello friends, I'm sure many of ya'll have concerns about Robotaxis like Waymo and Tesla taking your job. This is a real, and valid concern. No one wants to be jobless. It's not a question of if, but when self-driving vehicles take your job. They already deployed in over 15 U.S. cities and hundreds globally.

It's not a time to panic or protest.
With new technology comes new jobs and new opportunities as well.
Experts predict it will be 5-10+ years until most ride-sharing jobs are gone.
Many in early markets are already feeling the squeeze.
There is time to prepare for the future.

I put together some related and high demand jobs that you can start looking at or applying for.

Everyone has their own background and interests to consider, but perhaps pass this along or at least start thinking about options.

I just post this because I wish someone would have given me a heads up in my career and helped give me some advice before it was too late.

Best of luck to all of us humans! ❤️

I picked up a doctor from a local hospital. She said she is an ER doctor so I told her how we frequently get smelly passengers and asked how she deals with smelly patients.

(This is your last chance to exit and stop reading this.)

She says that she gets smelly patients all the time. Technically, they are not supposed to be brought into the hospital due to the risk of the patient spreading serious infections and they should be brought to a rehab first to be cleaned up, but with emergencies that can't happen.

I asked her what does she tell them if they smell like cat pee, weed, etc.

She says she cannot say anything about them smelling bad because they can sue her and sue the hospital. The smelly person can claim they were emotionally traumatized and required expensive therapy because the doctor said something about how they smell. She can lose her job with the hospital if she says anything.

So there you go. Keep your mouth shut. The smelly people win.

Uber really sent this message to my inbox like they think we are happy to wait for $0.19 per minute. The lady in the image seems happy that she's burning her time and gas for half a hash brown. That smile has got to be fake. Enjoy your fake breakfast.

Gaslighting at its finest.

Decline Multiple Stops

Decline Waiting The Full Timer

Did anyone else get this bullshit?

I heard someone mention it’s $25 a month and I am assuming they take that out of your fares but don’t see anything in app about how we get paid. First few times my experience is no rides within 30 minutes. If there’s a charge wouldn’t we want to make the most on their app before committing to be paying them? Anyone who has taken trips on them want to help me grasp these payment questions?

Way back when, I rented a car through a third party but at a discounted rate for uber drivers. Now all I can find is a vehicle marketplace through the driver app that doesnt even show rentals, only purchase. Is there a way to get one time discounts on car rentals through Uber anymore?

Picked up this couple celebrating something....trashed out of their minds. drove them to their hotel paranoid. Finally made it to their hotel and the guy goes...do you have anyone waiting on you? Excuse me?! I says, anything I can help you with? and he goes nah just asking.
confused if they wanted to sell my organs or wanted me to plow his pig wife while he cheered me on.
Either way, I said if there is nothing else, have a pleasant night...drove off

Do any of you provide or have a booster seat in your trunk available for 4-8 year olds ? My research shows that you can shift responsibility to the parent by having them secure the child and seat even when you provide it. I hate driving away from a parent, but the liabilty is too high for myself for unrestrained children.
