Honestly, I thought this thread was going to be about tin foil hats… 🤷‍♂️

 

Tin foil hats can in fact have a theraputic effect for mental health disorders.

Their active chemical process is chemically identical to pills that have been proven to have a demonstratable effect on depression, anxiety, pain, and many other conditions.


How you ask?

Tin foil work because guillible people think they work.


The mere detail that they don't actually do anything does nothing to change their proven placebo efffects.

Yes, just like placebo pills tin foil hats have no active ingredients, yet when studied against absolutely nothing they are proven to have an effect.

The placebo effect: Amazing and real - Harvard Health

If the phone is important, keep it in the purse they won’t leave behind, keep In phone holster close to their body, glue it to their hand.

Y’all women are so damn chatty all the time yapping about useless shit, I just assume it’s already welded to their damn ear.

 

I agree with Mr. @Uber's Guber

 

Drunk couple (smelling like they just showered in alcohol) left their phone in my car. Next passenger pointed it out.

I went straight to 7/11 and bought foil. I should have already had some in car for the next time phone left. Wrapped it 2 or 3 layers and worked like a charm. No find my phone annoying ringing. No person showing up at my door. Just peace and quiet.

Had gone home about 3:30 am and went to bed.

Woke up and I had emails and calls about lost phone from passengers and Uber.

I ended up in long explanation to Uber that 1) they are not to give out my personal number and 2) I’ll just take to their hub Monday

Why? Because with Uber’s messages, phone calls it takes to riders, text messages, plans to meet, then not able to take long rides, missing surges, possibly replanning meet, the time, the expense, etc. All that coming to around 2 hours making me lose $30 at minimum per hour if I was doing what I planned when it has anything to do with Uber (driving). A total of “around” $60.

I strongly suggested they quit telling riders the little driver will be happy to return their phone for $15!

If the phone is important, keep it in the purse they won’t leave behind, keep In phone holster close to their body, glue it to their hand.

But Uber should never assume drivers are so stupid as to give up their 2 hours (in total) of returning a phone for less than $60.

I hope other drivers are looking out for their business income as well as personal life.

Note: I didn’t use all these exact words

I don’t even bother returning anything. Too much of a hassle. Out the window 🪟 it goes.

 

how about you ask passagers if have all items and you look in back seat, no phone (no anything) left in my car in nearly a year.

 

Not my problem.

 

I used to check for an item left behind after every ride. I would just peel around the block, park, report it missing then contact the rider,
$15 for .02 miles? Deal...

I remember one minimum rider left his keys in my car and I watched him waving his arms in my rear view mirror.
Easy $15 for just circling the block

 

Am I to understand that UBER comps you for reporting/returning a missing item?
I had a left phone the other day (sober and middle of the day)... First time this has happened to me. Been driving on and off for years. I didn't go very far, fortunately, and the rider realized right away. He called me via his own phone. I returned it to him at the drop-off. He gave me a $5 tip. No big deal.

 

Take pictures of the item left behind. Put them in your glove compartment. If they call make it a good story that it's going to take you a while you're completely on the other side of town and you will drop it off on your way that way.. hopefully you do get trips that way and you don't have to deadhead back to that place.

Once you do when you're return it, let them offer you something in return. If not you say your goodbyes and pull away carefully around the corner and you park.

Then you file a missing items Report with Uber uploading the pictures you took earlier. You are always guaranteed $15 if you do it right.

Also, if the guys in ******bag the entire time and gives you a reward when you get there, that's good too. Then to teach him a lesson you pull around the corner Park upload the video for information of found item and then you will collect another $15 on top of it.

It's already been delivered so how can they dispute that they don't have it.

 

For the record tin foil hats don't really work. Unless they are constructed a specific way and most people don't. Also, there are frequencies that actually are Amplified by the use of a tin foil hat.

If you really want an effective hat, you would need to use lead.

Turning a room or your house into a faraday cage makes more sense if you were really worried about it.

 

Tin foil hats would work if people would make them out of tin foil.

Why do the stupid people continue to make tin foil hats out of aluminum foil?

Because they are stupid and do not know a thing about ... casseterite.

Thank you for sharing. I came out one morning and saw this big SUV sitting in front of my house and I wondered why they were there and who they were. Then I hear them call my name. It was a pax from the day before who tracked down his wife's phone left in my car. I have no idea how long he had been there as I slept late that morning. Next time - hopefully there won't be a next time - I will use foil. Will put some in my "goody" bag.

 

Gee. That can be very scary actually when someone finds out where you live. You never know who that person really is.

yeah. I heard about the tin foil a couple months ago and meant to buy some then to have available in my car. This time I was lucky to be near a 7-11 and picked up the last one. Best $5 I’ve spent for something that was so helpful

 

Also I wish @MotorGal would hurry it up getting ready in the bathroom.
I mean let's go!!!!!
Women right?
Uggghhh.

Like is it so difficult to match my socks when doing the laundry and have a decent meal on the table when I come home after a 15 hour shift at the plant?

Tighten it up ladies! We aren't splitting atoms here.

How she only has one black eye is anyone's guess.

 

A) Uber does not give a passenger your personal phone number. The call goes through a kind of switchboard.....they are dialing some 415 (which I know is a San Fran area code) number and it rings through to your phone.

B) Tin foil is very expensive these days. If you have no intention of returning the phone....which I think is a dick move....just leave it somewhere.

 

lots of dicks doing rideshare, sometimes i feel like glueing a label on my ass, as a package would get more respect.

near where I live corner of Sierra and Foothill northbound there is Major construction going on it becomes a parking lot, I tell a driver to make a right turn before where the app is showing them to turn I get told oh I have to follow the directions of the Uber app, I politely tell them I am a driver and you know that's not true, then I get silence or some lip service, I tell them to pull over I get out instant one star love it.

 

And all I intended on doing by my beginning post was to let other drivers know what I stated to Uber; how they may want to consider how much unpaid time they may spend returning a phone and how well foil works to keep phone hidden and quiet until you have time to deliver it to wherever.

Not to have to defend myself.

 

So as a passenger I'm being told I can't tell a driver there's a major construction going on at the main intersection that going to make a right turn on that is going to be maybe a 10 15 20 minutes delay to even make a right turn I can't do that right, it's 2:00 in the morning here is the photographs of the area yes it's night there's obviously no traffic but imagine what this looks like on a weekday doing rush hour traffic this is a hell hole intersection and I have every right to tell a driver to avoid it he didn't avoid it he gave me lip service instead about he can't deviate from the navigation so I guess got out of freaking car not very hard to do since the whole street turned into a parking lot,

The following photographs is intersection where I told him to make his right turn several hundred yards before we got there, the third photograph is between the intersection that he was going to make the right on and where I told him to make the right on so we're halfway at the construction zone, the last photograph is the intersection you can see there are barricades and the right turn lane is down to one lane it's one car only for the three lanes of traffic that was approaching,

I'm not a damn package sitting in the back seat with a label strapped on my forehead, I'm a paying passenger, from the point where I got out of the car I could actually walk halfway to Walmart before he would even pass me on Foothill.

 

Okay. Yes. You are right. That “would” be very frustrating in that situation! That driver must have just been coming down from his drugs when he started to drive that day!

 

Mine is usually, I left my credit card, wallet, purse in your car after a night of binge drinking.

I'll look, but I had 8 riders after I picked you up. Nope it's not in my car. Text an hour later, "sorry, it's at the bar, the bar tender kept it."

Thinking to myself, Yeah, you didn't even know which house was yours when I dropped you off; "it's somewhere on this block", is just not a good description.

You're a dangerous moron . . . seek serious professional help; oh, and quit driving rideshare.

 

Wow thanks for your post I wanted to say more but sometimes I say too much, I don't know why drivers think they're passengers conversations is their concern you're getting paid to drive someone from point A to point B,

There's a lady that has a Facebook post don't know if it's real or not, but she said she stopped at house to pick up a man he was kissing his wife and kids goodbye he was going on a trip, but on the way to the airport or whatever stopped and picked up apparently his other woman or mistress, skhe knows this by their conversation, she decides to drive him back to his house and drop him off in front of his wife and kids with the other woman in the car, that driver should not only be deactivated should have some criminal charges, his personal relationship is none of her business.

Hey Genius Uber only gives out your phone number with your permison not before. learn the game

There has only been one time that a pax dropped a phone on my car's floor. Home boy also puked in my car.

Lyft contacted me the next day by email. Short version:

-- "Hey, do you have [Duschbag]'s phone"
-- "Hey, yes I do. I also filed a puke report because he puked in my car"
-- "We'll investigate your damage report and get back to you within 5 - 7 business days. Please drop the phone back to [Duschbag] or to a Lyft hub today"
-- "How about we do both at the same time? I don't see why the cleaning fee would take 5 - 7 business days to be paid, yet the return of the phone is expected today"

-- "We have credited your account with the cleaning fee"
-- "Great, thanks!"

[I return the phone to the pax]

Lyft - "Lyft manager here. If you blackmail us again then your account will be suspended"
Me - "There was no blackmail. All I did was suggest that you pay me and I return the phone at the same time, and you agreed"

This was way back in my Lyft "career", when Lyft was still trying to propagate its happy-bouncy-fluffy-bunny facade. Thanks to this incident I learned early that it was all just a front and Lyft was a scumbag outfit that was cast in exactly the same mould as Uber, but worse!

There has only been one time that I noticed a pax dropped a phone on my car's floor before I pulled away at the drop-off. Home boy had puked in my car, so I retained his iPhone as an insurance policy to ensure payment for the mess.

Lyft contacted me the next day by email.

-- "Hey, do you have [Duschbag]'s phone"

The really interesting part of this is that they could actually pay you right away they didn't need five or seven days to do a freaking investigation.

 

I've generally come to realize any problem I have with a passenger, is really a problem I have with Uber/Lyft.

In the case of the tin foil phone, my bigger gripe is that Uber/Lyft aren't charging return fees. Need a phone delivered? That's $250, then word spreads and passengers know not to do that again.

Out of maybe half dozen phones I returned I think only one passenger gave me nothing in fact the last phone I returned was in Long Beach the guy gave me $100 bill so take your assumptions and put them where the sun don't shine.
[/QUOTE]
in 4.5 years i have had maybe 30 phones left behind that i needed to return

1-abusive lady pax $70 reward

1-sitting in gutter couple $6 fare, $90 reward

1-20 year old dancer , stayed up all night , dropped phone off 230am, reward Toblerone

1-$80 fare, $5 reward


1 male pax, 2 different trips and days left phone 1 time, and phone wallet credit cards another- NOT EVEN a thankyou , after i drove 3 hours and 93 km to find him


Last week i drove 17 km back to return a phone, lady promised a tip, i received nothing, i pushed UBER for $20 finders fee

3 weeks ago young guy left phone in car, returned it 90 minutes later, received $20 tip

i believe UBER should have a BLANKET $25 return fee, or we drop the found item at a police station

I am fed up with the inconvenience and lack of gratitude and appreciation from 67%

Last night I tried that option; drop off at police station. It was close to his home. I had to call as there was no way to go in even tho google says they’re open & I **** maybe a door too. 10 minutes later 2 policemen come to my car (as I was told to stay within). They wanted the “whole” story. The time, the place, who found it; why did they leave it; where do they live. Even wanted to see my driver’s license! It was almost like an interrogation 😂. And by the way they said it would have to be dropped off in jurisdiction it was lost in OR same as riders home (of which they stated many addresses in their area we’re actually in a different jurisdiction….. police stations maybe not best option 🤷🏼‍♀️

 

In five years I have returned 1 phone and 1 set of keys .....

$55 for phone ..... $40.00 from passenger and $15 from uber.
When I gave it to him he handed me $40. I informed him that Uber had paid me $15, he said " no problem, your earned it". As I was pulling away I got a notice " You received a tip! " .... Kid gave me another $20 tip in the app. No loss to her, it was 'daddy's money'.

$150 for keys .... Customer calls frantic, asking if i found keys. Yes I have them and will bring them down to you first thing in the morning. It was 8:00 PM. I told him " I would bring them to you tonight but you are almost an hour away, and another hour for me to get home. He said he would make it worth my while to get them to him tonight. I said OK, then continued to finish eating and watching a TV show. After about 45 minutes I headed out. Ten minutes later he had the phone, gave me the $150 (turns out he had only one key fob for his car and the dealer wanted $450 to make him a new one) I then drove 20 minutes back home. Yeah I lied, was not an hour away .... so what!

I do not have to play stupid games ... if someone leaves a phone in my car and used "find my phone" to track the car, they won't end up at my house. They will end up outside a locked gate at the storage facility where my Ride Share vehicle and Ride Share call phone are kept.

I never want any passenger showing up at my door .... and the cost of the storage facility is a write-off.

OH GOODY…. I’m thinking of a plan for next time

Rider leave’s phone. They call. I pleasantly (as always) call back. They ask how can they get it back? Where can I meet you?

RESPONSE: I will pay you (rider) $20 for you to come pick up your phone. $5 in cash and the $15 Uber will not charge you.

HOW: When I decide to go out driving (Uber time), I’ll take the foil off, have phone on (they’re always an iPhone w/find my phone feature) they can track my location and catch up to me at a stop.

Hopefully when they tap on window to do trade the light won’t be turning green (whoops buddy, I gotta go).

It will be a fun little game. Much easier than back and forth conversations and not knowing where I’ll be when. Let them figure it out.

 

Wow, man. Some of u MFs are what is wrong with the world, I swear! Dang, man. All these mad schemes n tricks to get a lousy $15., made me sick to my stomach. How abt just being decent ppl, report it n keep rolling.
I'm down w the person who just delivered the stuff to the hub n let them worry about it.
Sum1 left their cell in my ride this Sat. I cntd Uber. I sent the picture. I placed the cell in a little box w bubble wrap. I also told them, I'm not driving back there but I'll gladly ship it for $5.00 or I can drop it at a hub. Idk who left it. I'm not wasting any more time on it and not surprisingly, neither is uber! I sent them 4 possible trips it could've bn since my shifts go: START n boom, it's 7hrs later n m hitting the coffee button. I take one ride after another, non-stop, each time telling people to check for their stuff n m not down for penalizing them for having so much on their minds that they forget something.
That's why the universe kicks sum o y'all to the curb, money wise. Karma wears stilettos, yo! And for the male who said that women are chatty? TF, MAN! If it weren't for yo mama, you'd still be up yr dad. Have some respect n get current, educated n sht, too. Jeez..

Note: I didn’t use all these exact words

I tell them order an Uber to pick it up most are too cheap to tip you. But once in a while a rider will tell you I’ll give you a hundred if you bring it to me. Otherwise I don’t deliver. One guy was so cheap he said Uber pays you for or delivery have a good day!

 

I’m surprised you would give your home address (if that’s what you give). I don’t want riders to have my address and I’m rarely home anyway and wouldn’t want to sit there waiting - but guess good option for you. Why wouldn’t they just come pick it up from you tho in that case - rather than an Uber.

I wouldn’depend on someone luring me in with a big tip for bringing it - you may show up and easily they don’t pay the extra. Guess I get that idea from riders that tell me they’re going to give me a big tip (it might have been cuz I made a stop for them, but not necessarily) as we’re driving and I never gave them reason to tell me that. Then of course they don’t. Why bother saying a lie for no reason? Oh well, that’s people

 

I never realized just how hostile a thread could become over tinfoil… 🤷‍♂️

 

You really should get it right. It's aluminum foil.

We have been corrected.

 

I never had to go far to return an item. Never has it cost me more than 15 minutes of my time to return an item. So I'll just keep returning things. The $15 is enough for me. Some people don't want to pay $15 for an item that cost less to replace. I had a young woman request to go to an Amazon pick box to pick up a package. Then back home where I picked her up. No problem. Later someone else said that somebody left something behind. It was the Amazon package. I was only a few minutes from the woman's house so I just stopped by to give it to her. She didn't want it. Said that she didn't like what she bought so I could give to someone or throw it away. Thread out to be a few lipsticks she had purchased. I gave it to a friend who was happy to take it. Strange way to get rid of something.

I had a customer actually giving me a $50 tip on the fare after I brought a phone back to him (I happened to be driving by): not all pax are bad!
