First trip as a pax

Had to pick the car up from service yesterday, so figured I'd take the chance to see what the pax experience was like.

First request comes up with a 4.3* rating and NO PICTURE. I ran with it just to see.

First driver was an Indian fellow, maybe mid-50's, seemed nice enough but did not speak A WORD of English. Responded to my attempts at conversation with a smile and silence. Drove like a frightened teenager, constantly stomping gas and brake on his brand-new (?!) Honda Odyssey.

After I got out at the shop, another customer approached me and said, "I was driving behind you... I'm surprised you got here without hitting something."

Yeah... 3*, no tip.

I've taken 8 or 10 rides as a pax. The only driver I didn't tip was the one who insisted on lying to me (before she knew I was a driver) and told me she made $400 a day driving 6 hours a day in LA. I told her flat ut I didn't understand why she was lying about it when she insisted she wasn't lying but wouldn't show me her earnings screen (claimed she didn't know how) I said she is doing so well, she can't possibly need my tip. I didn't realize that drivers bs about their earnings to try to refer suckers for the bonus. Every other driver I've had has been just doing the best they can to make a living, beat up car or not, they deserve a couple of extra bucks.
