One horror story could be a driver getting lost constantly and making the passenger late for an important event like a job interview. The passenger was relying on the driver's GPS but it seemed the driver was not familiar with the area at all.
I've heard of a driver who was delivering to a house where the customer's dog was loose and very aggressive. As the driver approached the door, the dog started barking and lunging at them. The driver was terrified and didn't know what to do. In some cases, drivers have also had to deal with food getting spilled in their cars during transit due to bad roads or sudden stops, which then means they have to clean up the mess and might get a bad rating for a late delivery.
Sure. There was a time when an Uber driver was speeding dangerously. The passenger was terrified as the driver was weaving in and out of traffic at high speeds. It was a miracle they didn't get into an accident.
One horror story could be a driver who was constantly texting while driving. A passenger felt extremely unsafe as the driver's attention was clearly not on the road. Another might be a driver who took a really long and strange detour through a very sketchy neighborhood, making the passenger fear for their safety. And then there was a case where a driver had a really bad temper and started yelling at the passenger for no good reason.
Sure. A common horror story is customers giving the wrong address. The driver goes to the location only to find out it's wrong. Then they have to contact the customer and sometimes the customer doesn't answer. So they waste a lot of time and fuel.
One of the best Uber driver stories I've heard was about a driver who noticed a passenger was really stressed. So, he played some really calming music and told some light - hearted jokes during the ride. By the end, the passenger was in a much better mood and left a great review.
One gay Uber driver related that he often gets requests from LGBTQ+ events. At one such event pick - up, he had a car full of drag queens. They were all chatting, laughing, and having a great time. He said it was like being in the middle of a glittery, happy party and it was an unforgettable experience for him.
I once had an Uber driver who was driving way too fast. He was weaving in and out of traffic like it was a race. I was so scared that I asked him to slow down, but he just laughed it off. I couldn't wait to get out of that car.
Yes, there are. I heard about an uber driver who was also a part - time beekeeper. He told his passengers all about the process of beekeeping, from taking care of the hives to collecting honey. It was really interesting. And there was a driver who used to be a professional athlete. He shared his experiences of competing in big tournaments and how sports had changed his life. There are so many unique individuals driving for uber, and their non - sex - related stories can be quite engaging.
Knowledge of the area is crucial. Drivers who know the quickest routes and local attractions can provide a better experience. They can avoid traffic and recommend places to visit. This makes passengers more likely to rate them highly.
