Ahh...i haven't puked in forever. :vomit::vomit::vomit: that was kind of interesting, ok it sucked.. I picked up whatever was making my kid and ex puke last week. Dropped him off Friday morning, didn't get sick until 2am last night.

After showering, and putting my bedding on the kitchen tile. I tried some milk which usually helps when my stomach feels off..nope! Came right back up. Tried some water, same result. And violently! All over my kitchen floor.
Was starting to feel like i am invincibleto germs, haven't been sick in over 3 years...
Hope my next bottle of water stays down.

Do Gatorade and only do small amounts in 10 minute increments. Small amounts such as just a sip. If your stomach is upset larger amounts will upset it worse and come right back up. Once you can keep the small amounts down for a couple hours you can gradually increase the amount you take in. If at any time you throw up, restart the whole process. No solids until you have kept fluids down for 4 hours. You're welcome?

Omg it was horrible! Did you and your passengers go off-roading? We did LOLLOL

So last night... Definitely not my typical flow but ended up pulling off $315. I did a shit ton of rides. Well for me it was a shit ton. I know others do this all the time. I did 20 rides and somehow hit 4 CRBs. I had non-stop back-to-back-to-back XL requests. However with that being said, the first 14 rides didn't even put 100 miles on my truck. If that tells you anything lol finally got a XL to Northfield at bar close and The Surge converted over to $30 then I got to select from great Scott's up to Dacono. Up until bar close though I could not get out of Lodo! It was drive me freaking crazy. Great passengers and a good amount of $5 tips.
No offroading, but did catch the traffic backup twice. I get pax constantly asking me to take them off-road in my pickup, I tell them that's not covered by Lyft, but we can negotiate a minimum charge to my liking.

20 years in the medical field thank you for all your advice ?77

My current doctor wanted me to do it like a blood test and a colon and check for colon cancer should I have a blood clot in my lower rectum and in in a in the mental illness and then he also recommend me to get x-ray and a chiropractor work on my lower back she wanted me to get hooked on painkillers so he can control my financial status he also asked for my PIN number just in case something happened to me and I can't access my bank account to pay for my own funeral.

The moral of the story here is always check with the Uber driver first:thumbup:

OK well off roading vs driving over grassy embankment, eh tomato tomahto. We were technically driving on non designated roads but we were not crushing boulders LOL we were at a dead stop though for a good 15 minutes and when I say dead stop I mean we did not move an inch. We just drove over the grassy median between the highway and the frontage road to get to the Frontage Road.

First winter I drove, a pax gave me $20 to cut through a dirt lot that turned out to have a giant mud puddle covered in ice, as I bounced through it, sending frozen water and mud everywhere, I said SHIT, he said "I didn't know it was that big" and gave me another $20

lyft has ipo

ipo begins to tank

lyft starts new bonus program where you start in the negative and if you make more than $3k in a week you keep the earnings!

-i dunno if this guy was a scammer, but it's an interesting read.

ps. i do think he's a scammer and his "pax" is a friend of his. just my gut instict.

How does this happen?
If you are giving repeated $750 Black XL rides to the same PAX that has sex for a living, well.... you as the driver may really be the one taking it up the ass. The hooker PAX was obviously either using a stolen credit card or more likely her sugar daddy with the big credit card limit tired of her spending ways and disputed the charges she made. Lyft lost big time, so charged it back to the driver.

@Dude.Sweet. had something similar happened to him on Uber I believe. Although I don't think he was accused of anything such as long-hauling and I believe the amount was a lot more.
Wow. Good justification for ensuring that riders all update the destination if they want to go "somewhere else". I've let them slide sometimes, but no more.

Yeah I learned a long time ago that every address goes in the app and every address is entered by the passenger, not the driver. There was once or twice I woke up after high surgeon my money was gone because the passengers that they never told me to go where I went. Had I not stuck to my rules two years ago, most likely I would have lost my job due to a false kidnapping charge. I tell them I'm more than happy to take anyone anywhere but the address must go in the app

On one hand, I want to 1 star every lazy person that can't walk less than a mile, on the other, 3.75 for a mile isn't bad right? Not sure what I should do. I want to make sure the passenger knows he sucks. Maybe 4 star every minimum ride?

Man Uber gots no love for me this week... Think they may have gotten tired of me cherry picking airport runs. I dont cancel or anything like that, but I only take 45+ requests with my DF set to DIA. Have received only 2 Pool Express requests with no 45 flag this week. App on when I get home 6-9pm every day this week. WTF.

i don't mind super short rides. Much rather have a short ride than halfway to DIA, or an area that puts me in an unprofitable place and have to waste time driving back.

A lot of them too area downtown from tourists who don't map where a place is and don't realize how close it is - and laugh and admit they should have checked first.
