I hope that if everyone continues to complain that it will drive you crazy enough to stay the hell out of a forum called "Complaints" and that will be positive change for everyone. Of course that will never happen because this is what you live for is to attack people as a form of discouragement. Good luck I am finished on this matter it's like beating a dead horse.

You have not explained how you think complaining will have a positive impact on anything.

You have not explained how you think complaining will have a positive impact on anything.

And it's highly unlikely that s/he will ever.

To vent.
To solve problems.
To dwell.

These are the three types of complaining that most people do.

Here... All are present. All are welcome.

After all, misery loves company.

But what positive changes will come of whining to the congregation?

Let me refer you to the first one.

To vent.

The positive change is hopefully within oneself and calms down a little bit.

Oh you mean you thought it was about you? Hell no. It's not about you or anybody else.

 

[Heisenburger]

They keep returning to scream into the void more each week. At the best, it's just bandaids and no meaningful change or resolution.

 

[W00dbutcher]

It doesn't work -- they keep returning to scream into the void more each week. At the best, it's just bandaids and no meaningful change or resolution.

how do you know it doesn't work?

Are you in these people's head?

Are you registering the level of anxiety, hate, or even despair prior and post of said comments?

Do you even provide a chance to exit poll one after a post?

What's your qualifications to say that a person does not feel better or improve oneself emotionally on the inside after complaining?

So with what you have said, yourself never feels any better or any relief after complaining or voicing your discern about something in the world, ever. Which I find hard to believe.

I suppose you kick your dog after a hard day so you feel better too.

I suppose you kick your dog after a hard day so you feel better too.

Why would I kick my dog? That's stupid.

That's what the this forum is for. I thought that was pretty clear in my post.



And if you kick your dog after you come home from work I would consider getting some anger management and possible extended lengths of some sort of mental Rehabilitation or counseling.

And for the love of God get rid of your dog, they don't deserve your Wrath.

As an ex taxi driver, ex Medical Transport driver, ex limo driver, I am used to sitting and waiting for an assignment, so my mindset with Uber and Lyft is the same I sit and wait for a profitable trip, I don't care if I sit in the car for 50 hours and my active time is only 20 for 30 hours, I don't see the point of continuing to work and put wear and tear and mileage on my car just to make maybe a few extra hundred per week, I intend to keep my car in good condition so when I sell it in a few years it's still a decent Transportation car I don't intend to run the wheels off of it like is said on this site,

In my mindset my car is what’s earning the money I am guess it's driver, my job is to make sure my car earns the most amount of money per active hour/per active mile,

Depending on how busy are non-busy it is and the traffic conditions, I use one of two mindsets when I am working,

1. Pay per hour earnings, this rule is mostly used for longer trips,
I don't care what the mileage of the trip as long as my car is earning 40 plus per hour and I am dropping off in a busy City

2. Pay per mile earnings, this rule is mostly used for shorter trips,
short trips those ones that come in for under $10 especially the ones that are like $5 to $7, short trips need to be able to be completed within 10 minutes 15 minutes max if it's a slow day or slow hour of the day, if the trip is closer to the $10 range I will allow it a few more minutes, the total mileage to complete the trip can't be greater than the fare,

So think of it like a sliding scale, one end of the scale is pay per mileage based, the other end of the scale is pay for time based, so I adjust that scale as needed.

The $40 plus obviously will not work in every market and will not work at all times of day, I will be honest and sometimes I have to adjust it down to as little as 25 per hour but most mornings in the Inland Empire weekday mornings, $40 plus per hour is doable

I do agree with your points as a former taxi, limo and Uber Black driver. For some reason I now find myself supplementing my SS by converting the equity in my 2007 explorer with Uber X. Try to stay out of the suburbs in my market. Stick to inner city where next trip is very close. Prefer shorter to longer trips now. Something I learned in taxi school the sooner I get a paying customer in the backseat the better off I am. BTW these Uber X riders don't deserve a better car servicing them my old 2007.

 

[Heisenburger]

Unlikely.

 

[W00dbutcher]

Rent free.

Something tells me if they're upset or disgruntled about something you are not in their head.

I'm almost certain in that scenario that very few if not nobody is thinking about what poor ol' Heisenberg is going to say at that point in time.

 

[tkman]

Isn’t that what you just did?
please explain how you think whining or complaining to other drivers here is going to change anything.

It works just like a public square. If you share a thought it will cause a few people to consider what you said, and if they agree, it will lead to others saying and thinking similar thoughts. If one of my suggestions is about how to deal with UberEats and a few drivers like the suggestion, then they may interact with UberEats in a similar way. It may be slow but talk is the start and then action follows. It's kind of the way society and humans have worked for ages.

Sharing and helping each other is great. Whining for whining sake is not.

It’s pretty much the same thing. As long as you are kept busy whining here you are not doing anything to improve things. The company loves that b

I have I said anything negative, demeaning, or in any way suggesting displeasure in any of my statements?

Hating the hater is NOT the same as hating the player.

It’s NOT hypocritical to be against community members who don’t help the community.

I guess since driving is a solitary profession outside of our interaction with passengers, many drivers clearly hate their peers and are very negative towards other drivers because they see them purely as competitors.
