gets to the roadblock “sorry folks this is the closest I can get you” it says we have another couple of blocks to the restaurant, can’t you get thru? “See all the street vendors and people walking around? It’s blocked, sorry but you’ll have to walk” WE PAID FOR UBERX NOT EXPRESS POOL!!!

Alrighty then, I motion over an officer and explain, I open the back window and the officer talks with the pax and gives them directions on how to get to the restaurant on foot.

Smiling to myself as the husband guffaws out then the wife whispered “here ya go” and handed me a $20 and showed me the 5*.

:D

Don't even bother trying to reason with the subhumans of the South Bay; you're better off just making hand gestures & grunting sounds...

When I first started uber, I discovered that area existed. I learned that area is rough to get around, I told myself not to go there unless for some reason I get shoved there and it's busy. It was a lot of low stars there until like a year later.

Yeah I got the "I'm sorry, I didn't know it would be this busy" today after the police guided traffic in the opposite direction. I laughed when I had to drive farther away to have them safely get out and started walking back.
I got an eats order from a place right in the middle of it today. Found an already paid for meter spot with 45 minutes Remaining and had to walk about 4-5 blocks.

Got inside and the manager was amazed. "You're the 5th or 6th delivery person. The others all canceled. Here's the food"

Hiked back to my car, got to food drop off. First thing out of the ladies mouth "you sure took your time. I ordered this 3 hours ago"
So explained about the street fair and how I was the first driver to actually attempt pick up. and yep. Stone faced "oh" from her.
Whatevs. Haha

I'm sorry, I was by a pool under a cabana all day today. I just woke up to start driving. Such a great relaxing day.

It rarely pays to be the nice guy with Uber.

I grew up in Redondo at the border with Hermosa, it went from beach bums that made it cool to trendy hodads that tried to steal the cool, problem is now the cools all gone and all that's left is d-bgs that try to impress each other with a bunch of load talk about what they have and where they have been
