Holy cow man, I've had some bad pickups but this one takes the cake for me. I'm sure there are worse stories, but I just gotta vent.
Night started off really good. Had 3 trips that were long. In less than 2 hours I had already made $40. Everyone was really cool. Then I got a lyft request. Pax was 4.8 rating. 3 people get in the car. I notice the guy in the back seat has a can of something, so I ask what that is, and he says "soda" but he uncovers the can and I can see now that it's a Miller lite. I was like you have to get rid of that I can't have an open container in my car. He proceeds to ignore me. I ask him again 3 more times to get rid of it. Still continues to ignore me, so I go to my phone and cancel the trip which luckily I had not started yet, and tell them to get out. The guy sitting next to me says "are you serious?" No cupcake, I'm just kidding. He stares as me for about 6 seconds and finally gets out of the car. So I shoot off an email to lyft (which they have the WORST system for reporting problems.)
So I go back online. Soon after I get an Uber ride request, rating of 4.88 so I wasn't worried. I follow the Uber directions and of course it sends me to the wrong location on the opposite of a gated apartment complex. So I flip around, get through the gate of the complex and go to the pin location. I then get a call from this drunk chick asking me where I'm at. Told her and she says turn around and go to the front of the complex. I can tell she's getting annoyed at me because obviously it's my fault for not knowing exactly where she is standing. I almost canceled the ride then, but waited. Finally I see her and as I'm pulling up she yells "slow down". Ok, then she starts walking to my car and I hear her under her breath go "god". At that point I took off, screw that crap. The last thing I hear is "Wait..." haha. That did give me a little smile.
I know it's not the worst thing in the world but 2 in a row told me I just needed to go home. So I did.
The rating system is such a stupid thing. Had I not known she was probably going to 1* me I would have given her a ride, I could have cared less, but I don't want to be given a low rating so I canceled the ride. It's so dumb. I'd be ok with a popup after the ride that asks the pax how the ride was and if there were any issues. Then the driver could be notified of said issues and have a chance to try and fix them. But to be given some random rating that doesn't tell you anything at all is just plain idiotic.
