I’m convinced I am having one. My driver has the worst gas.

Once, I let it go. Second time, I had to comment.

He’s speeding to get me to my destination, so he can make his destination.

We've all been in his shoes. Try to have some patience.

A few weeks ago my girlfriend went out for a night with the girls and her uber drove her home on a motorcycle. I thought it was weird, but luckily the guy had an extra helmet for her.

Reminds me of the time my wife rode “stick” with an Uber driver home. He was in a 2 door truck.

I found it odd, but she said it was just a ride.

He's gonna jump in the passenger seat to do it and the op will get charged a huge clean up fee.

I'd ask if she gave him a tip, but it sounds like the opposite occurred.

I had one that was drunker than I was, and I was pretty lit. I had him get me to a safe part of town and drop me off so I could get another driver.

Pre Uber, I was in Sacramento for work and the privately owned cabs were cheaper so we just took them.

We went out drinking the first night and one of them gave us his card and told us to call him instead of Yellow cab and he'd hook us up with cheap rates.

A few nights later we did and he couldn't make it so he sent his nephew. Kid couldn't have been more than 12-13 and obviously fairly new to driving. He didn't kill us though

A month or so ago dude pulls up to our house, but not in our driveway. I inform baw he can turn into the neighbor's driveway and back out. Mfer drives the entire 40-50 yards down the neighbor's driveway and proceeds to cut between the other neighbor's driveway. Well about this time other neighbor is getting home. Knowing he's a retired cop and packing I have to get out and explain our story so he'll move and stop blocking us in with his car. Uber driver tried to go around him originally, but there's ditches both sides of the driveway. I almost got out and took our chances with drinking and driving.

New Jersey, had a middle eastern man who was really sketchy. He listened to middle eastern music like praising Allah stuff. He wouldnt say a word to us even when we asked him a question. Then when we pulled up to metlife stadium he asked us to get out at the parking lot entrance before the uber drop off because he didnt want to go into the parking lot but it made the walk for us a hell of alot longer.

Why uber drive if you have zero people skills and hate people

I've never had a bad Uber experience.

Almost always had bad experiences with cabs in Nola. I hope every fcking one of those assholes lose their jobs.

Not uncommon for my evening flight to Newark to be delayed, arriving after midnight or even later. Getting an Uber at that time is super sketchy.

On at last two occasions the drivers were literally falling asleep at the wheel and veering off the road.

One of them I had to poke to wake him up and he jerks his minivan across three lanes. Told me he wasn’t sleeping, but avoiding a deer I obviously did not see.

Offered that guy a free cup of coffee at the hotel, but he decided to venture on.

Why in the frick do cabs bother trying to drive thru the middle of the French Quarter? I know the tourists have no idea where they're going, but cab drivers know that shite is crowded as frick and they move about an inch per hour when crossing the major streets.

One time in Philadelphia, it was a shared ride and the drunk girl that was picked up proceeds to tear up the interior of the car and really liked to sit as close as possible.

Wasnt the drivers fault.

Worst was in Memphis...driver drove over multiple cones on the interstate. Legitimately feared for our lives.
