So Lyft sent me a ping to the middle of a muddy field with no roads. The pax would not respond to calls or texts.
Support said no cancel fee because I did not drive to the pickup point. This after three hours and five support techs.

I’ve had it. This was just another straw on the back of the camel

I logged out in the middle of bar rush. No other drivers in town.

You’ll be fine. A camel is capable of carrying many straws!

They don’t know how much of a bulldog PITA I can be. You should warn them Guber.

How much $ do you hope to recover for your time and effort?

 

[UbaBrah]

Why waste all your time on it though? Shit, stuff like this happens three times a night sometimes. If I can't get to pax easily I just cancel and drive off. A quick "I've arrived" text and if they can't find me within 3 minutes, tough.

If I have a pick up on a narrow, high traffic or congested street, and the pax is not toe-to-curb, they get an immediate cancel. I am not going to sit there and risk a ticket, being sworn and honked at or blocking the flow of traffic when there's another ping available within seconds.

I will also not drive around the block until the entitled a-hole decides they are ready to be picked up. Pax who request rides, when they are not ready to go, are usually the worst to deal with and rarely ever tip. At least this has been true of my experience in the Mecca of the Entitled.

Sounds like you were delivered a red herring.

Cancellations in situations like that is one of the reasons I refused to do long pickups when I did rideshare. Gas and time get wasted in situations like that.

I wonder if Mork from Ork would’ve taken a Lyft if it was around back then.

You sometimes have to walk to the pickup point and collect the cancel fee.

Yeah, I wasn’t walking through deep mud. Around here we sometimes get pings to the middle of a lake.

It doesn’t matter if it’s 10¢. Lyft relies on lazy drivers not following up.

And some drivers will follow what the ping says.

Actually it is worse. I got a ping an hour later and picked up the pax a few miles away at the county jail.
