What are some stupid things you did before when you were still new with rideshare?

-Drove a pax in a McDs drive thru for 10 mins in line
-Waited on pax for 8 mins without cancelling
-Took a ping 15 mins. away heading north of Ajax at night where street lights never exist anymore. I can get murdered without anyone knowing it.
-I always placed water bottles at the back seat for pax and even offer them to take it.
-I pulled over on the side to get water for pax when she asked. My case of water was in the trunk.

But now faaaak you all entitled pax. I became grumpy then... LOL

Your turn.

The only thing, as a Noob, I ever left accesible to PAX was a box of tic-tacs* and a charging cable.
I used to leave the cable in the back, but people would often step on it, or kick it out of the plug when they were climbing over seats.
Now I keep it in the glove box, and will grab it it anyone needs it.
The mints however, stay up front with me incase I've had too much coffee.

*amazingly, nobody ever stole the tic-tac, all pax were surprisingly well behaved and only took a couple.

So are these really "noob" things or were you just yearning for tips or were you just nice for stars or were you genuinely a good person feeding off of good Karma?
And now, you've noticed nothing good came out of that you have allowed the world to take away your niceness?
Because you didn't "see" any monetary and or spiritual gains from your gestures, you are like "meh"?

Does an entitled pax change their entitledness when they don't get what they demand? No! They stay same way and yet you've changed.

Why?

To summarize it, I used to care too much.

Seriously?... damn...I never did any of these things... I still do it same way I did before.
I do have water in front seats door only... if someone asks I have it... I also have kleenes... that's pretty much it...
- Never did drive through, twice got asked, told them no.
- I wait... with other app on... other app pings, im out of there lol.
- Never took ping that long. 10 mins was longest I think... and it was on the way I was going anyways... had other app on just in case I get something closer
- Only have 3 bottles of water... and typically it is more like 1 cuz i keep drinking them lol.

I'm not grumpy... very indifferent... that's why I like quiet pax. Like they're not even there.

Honestly, I never made any of those mistakes. Never had I waited at a drive thru and never will. I knew from the start we were bottom feeders and acted like it. The most I did was waited while pax wanted to go to an atm that was on the way.

Never gave food nor drinks. Can't spend pennies when making dimes!


I did initially cared about ratings and quickly learned that was a waste of time and energy. Now, I have no clue what my rating is and don't even care the slightest.

Yep, I avoid these areas just like I avoid rush hour traffic.

 

[epcjay]

I still do drive thru, only if they buy me something too. It's pretty much like a tip for me. 8$ big Mac combo

I'm usually hungry so win win for me.

I guess you made a point here. Tip cash flow hasn't been coming in so I learned my lesson and didn't care anymore.

I used to go to King and Portland everyday. Then I kept seeing a red Mazda 3 with a Uber logo near the trees consistently. As I got closer to see who the person was, I saw a guy with a wig on waving at me. instantly got scared and got out of there and never went back. As I was leaving I heard him say, "be serious" over and over again. True story!

I drove around dead kms wasting gas fishing for pings.

Should just go actual fishing lol

 

[Petrikov]

I drove around dead kms wasting gas fishing for pings.

I am still doing it. why not?

 

[epcjay]

I am still doing it. why not?

I'm half half. I camp at my usual spots, and when someone brings me out of my comfort zone, I'll drive to the nearest honey pot. Rinse and repeat. Then on the last leg, I'll drive homebound.

 

[Petrikov]

I am always online or on destination filter. I will start expensing higher percentage driving for business because i have to compensate on call hustle. There is no honeypots in our area only multiants.

 

[uber_from_the north]

I am still doing it. why not?

Because you are loosing money. You are already making peanuts why throw away that peanut earned.

I do it sometimes but not with long mileage of dead kms when online.

If it's a DF it's a different story.
