Scheduled my Uber as per usual to get to work this morning. Told the driver what route to take. 1 main right turn, 1 main left turn. He grunted but acknowledged my request. Despite this he went in a different direction. Asked him politely why he was taking a different route. He quickly became highly agitated and almost began to have a melt down. He told me i should have told him. He told me if i argued with him he would stop the car and i would have to get out. I reminded that i had made my request at the start of the journey. He said he was following google maps. I asked him why he takes directions if hes going to follow the map. He became more agitated and said i had to get out of the car. He pulled over and told me to get out. I refused. he said he would get me out. I warned him not to touch me. Because i could see how irrational his behavior was i told him he had better call the police if he wanted me out. He called the police. They refused to come out. He called uber emergency and gave them my description. I was extremely distressed. I am new to the area. i was about three minutes drive from work. He remained parked with me in his car for about 15 minutes. Eventually i was able to call Uber to put in a complaint. Uber were very understanding and refunded my fair. They asked if i had reported him to the police. I told them i would. Women be careful. This could have happened to me at night on my way home from work. This driver is easily agitated and has serious issues. I have never experienced anything like it in my life. I have felt traumatized by it. Please make sure you ride safely and be careful of sending children alone. There are a lot of crazies out there with more issues than we can imagine.
UBER DRIVER FROM HELL!!!

If you have joined UberPeople.net because your Uber account was hacked, you've likely been taken in by a scam. Please read this before starting a thread on this subject.

I support the Castle Doctrine.
One's Castle includes their residence or home, their land, their privately owned place of business, and their private transportation.
If you are invited into a home, or business, and become unruly, rude, inconsiderate, or otherwise behave like a barnyard animal, you will be asked to leave. Firmly. You may even be yelled at if you hesitate or argue. You will have law enforcement called on you, and you will be trespassed, which is an arrestable misdemeanor in most jurisdictions, potentially a felony in certain cases (i.e., you have a firearm, edged or blunt weapon, or controlled substance on your person, or assault or batter the homeowner, proprietor, or worker).
Failure to leave when asked may result in the castle owner electing to use force to evict you, and that force may include high velocity lead pills that ventilate your body, after which the defender slow dials 911 so that you exsanguinate before the ambulance arrives, making your version of the story a myth that nobody alive will ever hear.
An Uber or Lyft is just like one's home or privately owned business, it is the owner's castle. Failure to leave when asked may result in the logical, reasonable, and justified use of force, including lethal force, to remove you from the castle. Tread carefully. The nationwide trend is towards the castle defender in almost every case, in most jurisdictions. Rules, regulations, Uber/Lyft contracts, and laws will not help you when you're dead, and the story will not favor you once you stop breathing. You not only will be dead, you will be made out to be the passenger that behaved like Charles Manson.
You have no natural right, nor common law right, nor legal right, nor contractual right, to remain in a private vehicle after the owner tells you to exit.
