This is theft of service and can be prosecuted. file a police report for theft of service and demand Uber supply customer info to police.

I like that suggestion

I have had that happen twice, once was a mistake by the pax and the other intentional. In both cases I sent in an email via the app and it was corrected within a few hours. Uber can see that you picked up the pax and dropped her off. Should be no big deal. What is supporting saying about it?

 

[CrazyFemaleDriver]

I'd have taken my phone & snapped a pix of her in my car at that point (if u dont have a fash cam).

But I still don't see where it says you can do this. "May" is not "can" so show us or post the exact wording that says you can do this. I get rides to NYC once in a while and can't go back online until I am in NJ. If it's true, I'd love to keep the app in trip mode til I go back over the bridge or through the tunnel.

Why in the hell is Uber allowing a passenger to cancel a trip and if they do why aren't they getting charged for the miles they were driven?

Because Uber is a pax-centric organisation. When a pax complains, Uber immediately drops to its knees and opens wide to service them.

I agree with some of the other posts that you should take this one to the police and file a police report and get the cops involved. Also take it to a news corp if possible. This type of stuff is getting on my nerve and getting old. I got cancelled on mid trip a few weeks ago. I've had it happen several times now and don't remember it ever happening prior to about two months ago and I've been driving for 3 years. Why would they even have the option to cancel mid-trip? The only way this shit is gonna change is if the law gets involved. You were straight robbed.

You don't offer water?

Just keep pestering Uber and they will give you the money eventually. I think the only reason you didn't get paid is because she complained. If she hadn't complained to Uber they would have automatically paid you up to the point of cancellation. Another lesson is you should email Uber immediately if you have a problem. If they'd gotten your email before her complaint, you probably would have been paid.

I honestly think contacting the police would not help. Possibly as a last resort. But really, Uber is the one who stiffed you in this case.

Human skulls sell for up to $600.00 . . . .

How much for a full skeleton?

She also *****ed during the trip I didn't have bottled water

Should have offered her some tap water from Flint!

I found out with the Uber agreement agreement I don't have to end the trip until I'm back at the Ohio/Michigan border

I don't think this is 100% accurate :/

Over$2,700.00 for a complete science specimen model cleaned, disease free, registered , numbered and all bones attached & hinged for display

Cheaper if you want a bunch of dirty bones in a box.

They are
Becoming harder to purchase over the internet.
Used models sell much cheaper if you find someone who does not know the value.

This is why you have to check the uber app every 15-30 minutes maximum.

I live in Toledo OH near the Michigan border. Michigan is a no fault state so for some reason we can't pick up passengers there (even though we can take passengers there).

Our nearest airport is Detroit which is at least 50 minutes away and for a while I was refusing all Michigan rides unless the passengers told me up front they'd tip me a decent amount and I make them give me the tip up front (I got burned once by someone that promised to take care of me and their idea of taking care of me was giving me five stars). Not worth the deadhead time otherwise but I found out with the Uber agreement agreement I don't have to end the trip until I'm back at the Ohio/Michigan border so now I take any Detroit trips since I don't live that far from the border.

I don't mention I'm ending the trip at the border and just take all passengers since if they don't tip I still come out ahead. If the passenger tips me well I end the trip in Detroit and if they don't tip I just end it at the border figuring they're out more money than if they tipped and I'm getting compensated.

I was off from my regular job and decided to drive this afternoon. Had a request to go to Novi Michigan I almost declined it since there is a lot of road work to deal with coming back since the highway I use southbound is shut down for construction but figured it was a slow time of day and if she didn't tip I would end the trip at the border and with the road work going on would come out ahead.

The ***** was bragging on her cell phone to someone on her phone that she had a $20 uber credit and it would be a cheap trip and she had the balls to says on the phone that you aren't suppose to tip your uber driver. I wish now I would have just pulled over to the nearest exit and left her. She also *****ed during the trip I didn't have bottled water and wanted to borrow a phone charger when she got off the phone. Even though I had an iPhone charger I wasn't going to lend it to her after the comment about tipping and told her I didn't have one on me and she started going on that uber drivers should have water and phone chargers at all times.

As I pull up to the house she demands I end the trip and said I better not try pulling a fast one on her like the last time she took an Uber to Detroit and the driver didn't end the trip till he got back to Ohio. I knew she wasn't going to tip and I told her to review the uber agreement and it states we can end the trip at the border (I felt like telling her if she wasn't such a cheap ***** and would have tipped me $25 I would have ended the trip there even though I wouldn't have made anything). She said "then I'll show your ass I'm cancelling the trip and reporting your ass to uber, last time the driver tried that shit I got a $20 credit from Uber (probably the credit she used on the trip to screw me and since she cancelled she'll use it to help get home) and she did cancel

Hopefully the screen shot comes through but it is showing I drove her ass 68.84 miles and an hour and 14 minutes with a $0 payout. Why in the hell is Uber allowing a passenger to cancel a trip and if they do why aren't they getting charged for the miles they were driven? What really sucks is with roadwork it was 80 miles and 1:45 back home so I wasted three hours and put 150 miles on my car for nothing. And why on earth is Uber giving these passengers credit for being charged mileage for a ride they took? Do I have any recourse with Uber?

The T&C say I should get paid my time back to the state line but right now I'd be happy just getting the fare to Novi, better than nothing.

From now on when someone asks me to drive them out of state I'm refusing the trip unless they tip up front. Really sucks I can't rate her and I'm surprised she had a 4.88 rating (but I guess if she cancels trips they can't rate her low). View attachment 147016

Definitely tell Uber exactly what happened immediately- go to the fare details, "help" then "problem with rider" and tell them exactly what you said in this message, give them all the details and show them the screenshot and tell them that you absolutely *immediately* need to be paid, and that it is unacceptable for that type of thing to happen to a hard-working driver who has driven over 60 miles for an shady, lying pax.

You need to be paid for that crappy experience and you cannot let that woman or Uber get away with not paying you, just keep writing to them and repeating what happened and send them the screenshot until you are paid. Tell them that they should be removing that rider and never allowing her to use Uber again due to her horrible treatment of riders and for the fact that she takes advantage of Uber and was bragging about taking advantage of them.

Uber tried Removing the payment for one of my rides where the pax told them that she "didn't feel safe as a passenger in my car", which was unfounded & ridiculous and she was just a cheap pain in the a** who wanted a free ride, literally. When I saw that I had not been paid for that ride and the reason given, I wrote to Uber immediately and told them that they could not just decide arbitrarily not to pay me, especially without even reaching out to me to find out if the claim was true, which it was not. I told them to add that amount of money back into my fares immediately, and if they ever think that they need to ask a question about a specific ride for any reason, before they mess with my earnings in any way they need to contact me on the phone to discuss what's been said by the rider. I was seeing red after that happened, I was livid. You don't mess with peoples earnings, especially when they're busting their ass to make a few bucks!

I'm with you. There is always a market for human organs and body parts. And let's face it if you know where they live the rest is self-explanatory. Aleister Crowley said do what thou wilt.

The key word you want to use is "fraud".

Tell Uber that the passenger is trying to defraud both Uber and you by ordering service, obtaining same, and then cancelling the ride at the destination in order to obtain free service.

Then tell Uber that if you do not hear from them within 24 hours, you have no choice but to persue whatever criminal and civil legal options are available against the passenger.

That's why I keep an aluminum baseball bat in my trunk.

Example. Last week I was dropping off at the airport and it was a cluster **** around southwest and when my pax tried to exit a limo was pulling out ver very close to her door and scared her Meanwhile I was opening my trunk and stared at the driver. He looked away. Then I took the bat out and stared at his nice shiny limo. Spotless and dentless lol Then he stopped and waited fo my pax to exit. They put $5 on the tip via cc

 

[IntelligentDonkey]

I would keep a print out of this trip in my car to show the next Pax that wants a ride to MI. Tell them that she and a few others have screwed it up for everyone.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again --

If you carry a baseball bat in your vehicle, be sure to also carry a ball and a glove. Your attorney will thank you.

Does anyone have any actual verifiable confirmation that also carrying a ball and glove will get you out of potential trouble from carrying a bat in your car in the US?
Or that carrying a bat alone is actionable?

In the wake of the Heller case, there have been other court cases involving the keeping and bearing of non-firearm weapons, namely bludgeons, blades, and stun guns. Most, if not all, were victories for the causes of self defense and the 2nd Amendment. Given that, there should be no need to also carry a ball and glove when carrying a bat.
