Read through it... there's tons of stories of entitled parents stealing everything from expensive bikes to wheelchairs (not joking).

Stealing an umbrella because she's an entitled can't understand normal thinking person wouldn't top most of the stories on a single page.
 
It would have been better if she asked, but you were in the wrong. No way you let a woman pax get wet and potentially sick over an umbrella. I don't understand the mentality these days
Bad take. He let her use it which is generous enough and not even required. Giving away an umbrella isn't necessary nor can it be considered remotely within the expectations of any driver's services or obligations. People who feel they need umbrellas should carry them around when it is raining.

I would agree that some consideration is required for accommodating a disability, but giving away things is not necessary in our society. Let's say she borrowed his flashlight (fair enough, safety) and then asked to keep it. No. If you need a flashlight, borrow or find a way to own one yourself. Flashlights and umbrellas are optional tools that people can and should carry with them when necessary.

What do women as a group have to do with it? Women as just as capable of owning or bringing along umbrellas as men in our society.
 
You guys are too emotionally attached to a 🌂 ... 😁 I am sure I can find a umbrella for .99 cents or go to any Walmart entrance and find some plastic emergency umbrella. It might not look like a umbrella, but you can use it against water.😁
I'm with you. When I read some of BS on this site drivers put up with, I'm glad I quit.

I would have snatched the umbrella ☔ and called support. You can't reason with idiots.
 
It wasn't about the gender or chivalry. As a rideshare driver, I'm not required to provide my personal property to a paying customer.
And cost? My umbrella was $14.
I refuse to give away something to entitled anyones.

Maybe if she had politely asked or even offered to purchase it I would've entertained it. But it was just "uhm yeah this is mine now" and that ain't it, Chief.


Umbrella bag. Most big box stores have a rack up front on rainy days.

I love people. I have worked in community organizing and face to face retail for years.

I hate entitled people.
Supply and demand ... you should have sold that umbrella for 28. 2 x surge at least !
 
"Fifteen dolla"

It keep u dri long time.

Actually cheapest ones I found were $8-12 first day of Uber bought about $100 worth of crap to throw a price tag on 1 fifteen dolla umbrella still in back pocket never used

I'm sure they're cheaper umbrellas but at the same time I don't go around handing them out, cough drops & waters are a dime not a $5 bill lol da nerve da nerve in ancient times you'd be allowed to slap her upside the head with said umbrella & go about your day unmolested

This explains so much.

bitter and entitled.
 
I kept a jump starter in my trunk. One day it disappeared. I can't say for sure but I am reasonably sure a passenger probably took it when I wasn't watching as they grabbed their own luggage. :/

BTW I would not have called support for that had she refused to give it back. I would have called the police.

Well you have to take into account the OP probably made less than $4 on the ride. Getting even a $1 item stolen from you makes it that much worse. Same with having to help load or unload for such a paltry sum. In fact just the reality of the low pay on the trip would make me far more likely to "stick it to her" by calling the police on her should she not have returned the umbrella.
 
$4.98 plus tax, my Home Depot always have a box of them by the check out lines. I keep 3 in my car at all times. I have sold at least 6 used ones over the last 1.5 years to PAX. $10 cash. I keep one laying on the floor next to the drives door. The others are secured out of site in the back of my car. For her to just want to take one is BS.
