This morning I lost my virginity in kicking out a pax.
Had a stacked X request to 2917 W sunset Blvd to a pax by the name "this.shot.50" or something along those lines (I'm putting him on blast because I want you guys to avoid him). That should have been a red flag but pickins are slim and I couldn't pass up on a boost fare.
So after I arrived I parked right next to the pin and a chubby bald Mexican guy got in the rear passenger side. Right after he got in, he said I'm at the wrong address and I made him walk in the rain to get to me. Mind you he was coming from a shopping plaza with like 20 stores and I'm parked in front of them on sunset next to the pin. Then he went on about how all uber drivers get it wrong all the time and how unprofessional we are. My instinct was telling me to cancel right then and there but I wanted to be the bigger man.
I started the trip and he was heading towards Hollywood. He then tells me to go east on sunset the opposite direction (another red flag). While I'm driving he still went on about how none of us uber drivers are fit to drive unlike taxi drivers who have to pass tests to get their licences. So I told him he should have ordered a taxi and he should stop complaining because "you get what you pay for". I also told him that he should not expect limo style service while paying pennies for uber.
Then he started directing his insults directly at me. So I told him to stop insulting me, then he told me something along the lines of "to shut up and drive". I'm a patient driver (never kicked a pax out before) but this guy tested my patient like no other pax ever before. So I parked my car into a random lot and told him to "Get the f.. out of my car". At this point I thought I was going to get punched or stabbed. Because he looked like one of those "cholo" guys and mentally unstable. Thankfully he exited my car without drama and he started recording me while I drove away. Before ending the trip I peeked at his rating and he got a 4.3 (god knows how he managed to maintain such a rating).
Reported him to uber to ban him (hopefully). Also noticed my rating dropped.
