In destination mode I get a ping that will hopefully take me home. I don't drive much at night but this is at night and I'm tired. Thank God I might be finally going home!

I pull over to a safe spot on Mission Street in SF, just past the pax location on the opposite side of the street.

Phone rings.

Me: hello.
Entitled butthead: did you just pass us?
Me gleefully: I'm on the opposite side. Just cross in the crosswalk and we'll be on our way! I throw in a "where are you going" just in case things go downhill. I get an awesome answer way far in my direction.

30 seconds later two grumpy sourpusses enter the back seat.

Entitled butthead: why didn't you make a u-turn to get us?
Me: It's illegal here on Mission Street.
Entitled butthead: but all my other drivers make u-turns for me.
Me: where exactly would I do that?
Entitled butthead pointing at an illegal one-way street: there!
Me: that could jeopardize my driving record.
Entitled butthead: that's not really important to me. we are tired. let's go.
Me: you are about to be more tired. time to get out of my car as I'm not going to drive you.

A door slam later the sourpusses are gone and reported to the rideshare service for making me feel unsafe. A couple more of those and they get deactivated.

Somethings are more important than money.

Somethings are more important than money.

sadly, yes. after any interaction like this with a pax, newbies need to know to report them to uber preemptively before they complain about you as a driver. that's the main reason I posted this.

Few things make me feel better than turning down a good trip in the name of justice. The best is the rare occasion when they try to make it better by offering MORE money and telling em to screw off. Watching them realize money can't buy everyone is great.

These are the same people that have entire conversations about their gym and the kale salad they bought at whole foods. Then when no one is looking they are the real them. Image driven self centered and judgmental sociopaths. I bet if there was a huge mirror and they could watch themselves cross the street they would have.
