don't think I've ever had an encounter with Lyft that required a driver to say his or him in reference to me. Seems like pandering.


This. These companies that fawn all over the "pick your own gender" crowd remind me of the obnoxious brownnosers in high school and college.

Next time you ride Lyft, make up a gender title and demand that it be how you are addressed.

"My gender is Cebu."

"My gender is Kafu."

"My gender is Baw."

Make it something like ****** ****** and then force them to address you as such on camera.

Or make your pronoun “no charge for this ride today”

I hate that because it's false advertising. You press 1 and get someone with a heavy accent.

A Cuban immigrant once told me he presses 2 for Spanish just so he gets someone who speaks the language they're supposed to.

Yes. I Just want them to give me a ride and shut up.


If robots could do it, even better. Who wants to make small talk with the taxi driver?

Always saying stuff about rain washing the scum off the streets and asking me if I am talking to him

You know, MAGA would be a great pronoun. Makes me want to install Lyft and sign up just to make it my preferred pronoun.

I got banned from Uber so Lyft is my only choice.

Call me Tater Salad.

You are a weak man because you don't want to confront the problem. Do you think this is where they will stop?

They won't stop until you are arrested for not using their pronoun of choice.

How long before an elite level troll demands to be called the N-word, films it and then posts it on the internet?

I would either want to be referred to as "those", or "everybody"...they didn't specify what tense of pronoun to use...and maybe I choose to identify as everybody.
