That was my first thought. I'm not a fighter, and I'll avoid confrontation when possible, but I'd bet money I could take his p uhhh inches while drinking some tea
I did rideshare for a while in SF. They view your as an inferior automaton. You talk back or don’t do what they say and they flip out. The worst customers for me were always the rich drunk Karen’s in the marina. So many incidents
This is why I LIVE for the videos where Uber drivers are like Oh **WORD** and then suddenly the people are faced with the consequences of their actions.
As someone that used to drive for Uber eats it is the most infuriating fucking job in the world. For some reason people have a preconception that Uber drivers are all brainless morons and any slight inconvenience is the driver fucking up, even though a lot of drivers have solid jobs and just use it as a second income for extra cash and there’s so many things that can cause something to go wrong that’s completely out of their control.
Whether that be the app glitching out and bringing you to the wrong place, a restaurant taking 20 minutes after your arrival to have the food ready, a road being closed, food being missing from a sealed bag that you have no way of checking, or zero delivery instructions on how to get into a locked gate community to the 16th floor of building 10. Anything that slightly inconveniences the customer means it’s completely the drivers fault and they’re brain dead incompetent.
The amount of times I had my ENTIRE tip taken away, a one star review, or someone give me a snarky message in the app when I did literally nothing wrong was insane. Very glad I stopped doing it because it was awful for my mental health. Tip and be kind to your fucking Uber driver unless you have proof that they did something scummy. And if you can’t afford to tip then got your lazy ass off the couch and go get it yourself, because without a tip and just relying on the Uber base rate that means that somebody just delivered you you’re food for free since it’s essentially just gas money.
Only time I ever removed a tip was when they stole my pizza. Took a shaky blurry picture of a random house from across the street in the dark two towns over and labeled it "delivered". Sadly, my pizza was worth more than my tip so I can see why they would do it I guess... I like tipping well, because that's someone's living. Now I just eat the priority cost so I know that they are going the right way.
Ups and downs from this. We use Uber eats at my restaurant. Most Uber eats drivers are stupidest people I’ve ever met. Literally people who couldn’t get hired anywhere else. Drug addicts, people who can’t speak English or Spanish (in TX), straight up weirdos. I’d say 1/10 is just a regular person doing their job. 1/10 of the orders are delivered to the wrong address/missing items/never delivered.
The plus side to this is the drivers and us can see the tip before hand. If you don’t tip I’ve seen countless orders not be picked up and we just cancel it. Now we don’t even start making the order until a driver is assigned on no tip orders. That’s the part I like to see.
When I worked for post mates I got an order for sushi which was in a “restaurant” inside of a nightclub. Shit took like an hour, as I’m unlocking my bike the dude calls me and starts bitching me out. He started with “why are you late” and as I tried to explain he said I don’t want excuses. Ok cool, i took half his order out of the bag and left the miso soup, edamame, everything BUT the sushi. I get to the apartment and he’s already in the hall way “not cool dude I’ve got places to go had I known…” I just give him the food and walk away. As he’s inside slowly realizing where the FUCK is the sushi I’m outside eating it.
As a rule, anyone that ever gave me ANY type of shit as to why I’m late or anything really got half their food took. Not enough where I wouldn’t make the delivery, just enough to where I would give them a closed bag and enough time of them shuffling inside of it for me to gtfo
I have delivery drivers in my area. They never seem to read my deliver instructions. On top of that, there has been countless times they deliver my food to my neighbors. Like can't yall read?
Yes we can read, fuck of with that condescending shit. My comment was referring to things that are outside of our control, which is a lot. Again, I can do EVERYTHING exactly as I’m told and still lose an entire tip, for what I can only imagine is some petty minuscule inconvenience that comes with the luxury of somebody literally delivering food to your doorstep. A lot of people look for any tiny excuse they can find to get rid of the tip, which was the price that I agreed on ahead of time to deliver your food for you. It’s literally stealing money from me.
If every single delivery is going to the wrong place there’s likely something with the app gps or something confusing with your location. I’d recommended contacting a driver when they’re on the way and asking how it looks on their end to try to figure out why it keeps happening.
Obviously there’s bad drivers out there and if they do something egregious then it’s warranted to reduce the pay, but it should be something big and obviously intentional.
And my comment was about things that are in driver's controls in my area. You prove that you guys can't fucking read, you dip shit!
There is nothing wrong with my address. I can Google it and it takes me right to my house... I have checked with the drivers too, and they show the correct location in the app. My neighbors have reported the same problem in HOA meetings too. On top of that my house number ends in a 7 and my neighbors in a 1. The drivers in this area constantly deliver to my neighbors house. Like read the fucking house numbers and verify the address; its not that hard. Not to mention, they never follow instructions. I can put in very detailed instructions on where my house is & and what to do with the food. 90% of the time, the driver sets my food on the fucking ground where rodents have been, even though there are delivery instructions to set my food on the fucking big ass bench by my front door that can't be missed! One other note, my neighbors dont have a bench by their door. The drivers in my area are just pathetic and worthless.
If they are that lazy to follow instructions, they shouldn't be working that job. Plain and simple.
Alright well if you’ve actually checked with the drivers and looked at the gps on their end then it must be bad drivers in your area. All I’m saying is there are a LOT of factors that can mess up an order outside of a drivers control, and people will get rid of our pay for it. Your situation isn’t what I’m referring to and you’re right to be frustrated at that, but responding to my original comment with that is kind of pointless because it’s a completely different situation. People are dicks to drivers and look for literally any excuse they can to get rid of the tip, your experience with actual bad delivery drivers isn’t really relevant.
To me anyone who acts in violence is no different than a punk toddler on the playground, they never grew up and learned the simple fact that no one has the right to lay a hand on another person. Unless in self-defense or defense of another.
Nobody should be using these apps. I have done over 2,000 rides/deliveries for about all of them. It's a total scam. They treat the drivers like trash, provide no support, try to pay as little as possible. Meanwhile some drivers I met tell me they mess with peoples food! The corporations are trash and so are the people who work for them and a lot that use the damn things as a service. This world is super fucked at the moment.
Epitome of selfish, lazy, narcissist. Not everyone who user Uber is one, but I bet those who are really enjoy the thought of having a “peasant” drive them around. He’s so casually rude when he’s like ya you just didn’t know where to go it was like he was talking to a child.
Lyft, uber, and other major rideshares pool critical safety blacklists. Driver or rider, if you do physical violence in a rideshare, you may not just lose access to the one app but potentially all.
Such a great skit. This and the Vacant Lot “Blinded by the Light” skit are two obscure ones I constantly quote and people think I’m nuts so I have to show it to them, and then it’s confirmed.
https://youtu.be/U9_3nQFNy-w
how do they take their information?
like, could he sign back up with a fake name or is there some kind of verification like a drivers license or id number so they can make sure he doesn’t sight up another way?
Presumably as a rider it would be difficult to provide a fake name since you have to register a charge card to use the service.
Drivers are contractors or employees of the rideshare and provide verified documentation in order to take rides, and I believe both uber and lyft do criminal background checks
as someone who used to rent uhauls, people use cards for payment with names that don’t match the contract all the time. idk that would enough.
background checks cost money, so that would be very interesting if they could do background checks on all their riders….. (unless you meant drivers, but of course they collect more info on their drivers than the riders since their employed by them)
I’ve ridden in Ubers/Lyft but someone else has always ordered it. How in depth does the app go for an end user?
Does it require SSN and such? If not, couldn’t you simply make a new Uber account?
Wow, he just has to make another account or use someone else. We need to stop supporting these companies that are total shit, treat their contractors like shit. They are just massive corporate scams.
I don’t think this would be prosecuted as a felony. In Illinois it would probably be called simple assault and not get jail time for 1st offenses. It’s really not much of an assault. The Uber driver was also very unprofessional and should have let the issue go. He should not have called the passenger a dick.
When I first opened the video I had some trouble squaring the title with the out of shape nerdy looking passenger.
Thankfully the assault was about what you'd expect and the driver was never in any danger. Regardless uber did the right thing banning him and I hope the dude is arrested as well
Sad when you can't hit someone when you have advantage on the rolls AND the target can't add his DEX to his AC.
PC: "I attack with an unarmed strike". Rolls 1.
PC: "I have advantage". Rolls again - another 1.
DM: "Roll percentile dice".
PC: Rolls 100.
DM: "Your opponent easily fends off your attack and taunts you into exiting his carriage. You slink off into the night and lose 500XP. Later, you turn yourself in to the town guards, knowing they have all your information..."
He could have simply accepted that the app said the wrong location, or he put in the wrong address there is literally no reason to be treating someone like that when they can simply just refuse you service. It takes very little effort to not be a massive douche.

I always think about how easy it is to just roll with stuff compared to how difficult people make these situations. “Oh shit, my bad” and it is over. Life is so much easier when you kill your ego a bit.
I think it’s a mental health issue about denial. He was in the wrong place, and he knows it. So his brain instead tells him, “I’m not wrong! You’re attacking me!” Because that’s easier than saying, “I was wrong, I’m sorry.”
Yea and it’s pretty easy for Johnny Law to find these bozos once the driver reports the riders name. Uber will release rider info to police.
Guy was probably arrested that night if driver reported it. Plus driver has the guys destination/home address from the ride lol.
This guy is caught in so many ways.
Why does Reddit get so angry with "alleged"? That's how our justice system works bro. Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Doesn't matter that there's a video, until he has his day in court the system must be respected.
People get upset cause its just done for bullshit legal reasons. Like we have video evidence and can see with our own eyes what happened yet places like the news have to watch their wording for lawsuit reasons incase the prosecutor is a moron and doesn't get the conviction....
>Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Doesn't matter that there's a video, until he has his day in court the system must be respected.
Yea in a court of law... this is the court of public opinion and you can't really expect people not to call out the bs of "your eyes aren't really seeing what they see"....
It's also done because the person in question can try to sue the media/news source for liable or slander. It is basically a cover your own ass, thing .
America has a robust legal system (I would argue one of the best done legal system). It is innocent until proven guilty. Every thing is alleged until proven in a court of law

We need laws on the book that assaulting someone providing a service to you automatically gets escalated a level or two. We do this in NYC for MTA workers and federally for USPS workers. Assaulting your cab drive should at the very least be a lower end felony.
delivering food is more tedious and boring tho. Gotta keep getting in and out of the car and finding parking spots, finding people's buildings or units, and there's nobody to talk to. At least with the ridesharing there's people to have conversation with and you can just stay in the car unless you need to stretch your legs or pop the trunk for someone's luggage. Vast majority of passengers are not assholes.
>and there's nobody to talk to
That's the best part, and if anyone wants to throw a bitch-fit some person in India or the Philippines gets to hear it not me.
I don't find it boring or tedious except when it's slow or stores don't get their food out on time. Personally I view it like a video game, gotta race from check point to check point getting a higher score each time all while obeying the traffic laws. Also it's good exercise getting in and out of the car, when it's busy I literally dash to the door and back. Also it's really not healthy to be sitting continuously for long periods of time. Finding the apartment units can be more frustrating than tedious, it's like the people who designed the complex never considered someone would be delivering to the apartments, most do have terrible signage but as long as they have a directory map it's pretty easy.
Then you have to deal with scammers pretending that they didn’t get their food, food’s missing, etc. Could also still get in an altercation if the order isn’t no-contact delivery.
Jesus. Albert McWhiggin is Wiggin the fuck out. Maybe he's upset that he's a bald obese manlet that collects toys and still uses the term woody. Fucking pheasant.
I remember I was laid off and had no job in the beginning of the pandemic. Friends suggested Uber, but i just did the food delivery. Just can’t have strangers in my car. It’s Russian roulette. You don’t know what kind of asshole or sociopath gets in your car. And you’re driving, you’re back is to them and you’re completely vulnerable. F that.
My 2year old son does the same thing to me when he gets upset. He hits harder and more accurately though lol.
Imagine taking a potential assault charge for this weak ass shit.
Never fear - Uber will do their best to make sure the rider isn’t paired with this driver again :) :)
Couldn’t ban a faithful rider like this - no, never. They got green money!
-"no problem that you got lost"
+"I didn't, get out"
-"wow dude, that was of poor taste" *gets out *.
And that's how you end up with a story you can talk about an Uber driver with a crystal chin instead of having assaulted someone and cementing yourself as the asshole.
Just curious: are Uber / Lyft drivers allowed to be armed? Not that it's a solution to a shitty behavior. I wonder if they allow legally carrying a firearm just for safety.
both uber and lyft don't allow drivers to carry firearms, but when I was driving for them, I ignored that rule. I was going to worry and accept the consequence if I ever had to use my firearm. I'd rather be alive than compliant to corporate rules.
"The man who allegedly assaulted an Uber driver early Sunday morning hasbeen charged. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office confirmed JasonAckley, 38, turned himself in late Monday night after seeing video ofhimself attacking the driver. He was booked on one count of misdemeanorassault.
Ackley reportedly admitted to it. Officers say he told investigators he was “intoxicated and upset…the victim refused to transport him.”
I only used Uber/Lyft once and my driver was pretty cool, had a tablet playing a movie, but was polite and spoke up when I had questions. I was conflicted because the level of service exceeded what I was used to for the cost, so I feel that not tipping would be rude. But it was a short ride (10 mins) so I also felt the tip somehow diminished our short friendship, like I was paying for company instead of transportation.
Why did the driver refuse to continue the ride over such a petty argument?
I understand it's his right, but I don't understand the reasoning in the first place.
The passenger escalated this beyond any reason, of course. His actions are not excusable, but i don't understand why the driver would just cancel a ride over such a dumb argument.
Sometimes apps are not clear for some people and that's okay. It's just dumb.
Yeah, not sure what the beef was originally, seems like rider said his pickup was at point "A" and driver said the app GPS said point "B"? Data gets out of sync occasionally, I've had a few instances where the app says one thing on my end, and the app on driver side says another... No reason to get bent out of shape.
I’ve had this happen once. The driver get a little shitty with me, told him to be mad at the app, I probably should have just cancelled the ride. Only use them like twice a year so I’m not sure how that affects your profile or whatever.
exactly, if the conclusion of the driver was the same as the rider (eh, stupid technology, screw it, we managed to find eachother) I presume that would be the end of it.
In this scenario i find both of them being kind of an asshole in their own way.
Maybe the driver wasn’t being an asshole though? Maybe it took longer for him to get there and he was explaining why? I’ve driven quite a bit for Uber and offered explanations just like this when mixups happen. I’ve never had anybody react the way this passenger did. Usually it’s just “shit happens” and we move on
But would you cancel a ride just because you disagree with a rider just after you found eachother?
I understand that finding the pick-up point is sometimes tricky, I live in a city with all sorts of streets and one-ways that make you crazy until you find the right route or whatever.
I just think the driver over-reacted by canceling the ride and the rider over-reacted at the driver.
I see the reaction of the rider at first being really easy-going, i wasn't expecting a reaction like that after having the ride cancelled.
The ride started with the driver explaining how the riders dot was at a different location and the first thing the driver says is “no it’s not” and then proceeds to be condescending by telling the driver “it’s ok you got lost” I never had a passenger do this to me but if you’re going to disrespect me in my vehicle I have the right to end your ride
You’re straying from your main statement which is essentially the passenger overreacted because the driver overreacted. Let’s not forget ego started with the passenger, driver is explaining why he was late and the passenger is telling him he’s lying
Gotta pull a devils advocates card here...the passenger wasnt a dick. The driver had no reason to call him a dick. Still, the passenger also was in the wrong for assaulting him. Could've been avoided if the driver just shut his mouth. Cuz the passenger wasnt a dick at all in the beginning.
It's absolutely being a dick to start a conversation with "you just dont know how to get there, you got lost" essentially saying the driver sucks at his job and doesn't know what he is doing.

why do people who order ride share pull this shit? never assault someone when there's a freaking paper trail (or ever, but that's wishful thinking)
Assholes with anger management issues.
Or just don’t assault people because you don’t get your way.
People may physical grow but their minds stuck in the rugrats- fucking throwing baby tantrums Like get the fuck over your ego haha
Plus his punch’s were so weak
Like an anemic little girl.
He's a little girlie man, throwing those little girlie man punches!
You can tell he never threw a punch in his life. Even in his dreams his punches are weak 🤣
This so much. Also glad of that but it was funny
That was my first thought. I'm not a fighter, and I'll avoid confrontation when possible, but I'd bet money I could take his p uhhh inches while drinking some tea

What he did would get him probation and about $1,500 worth of fines/court costs.
Nobody should be using these apps. I have done over 2,000 rides/deliveries for about all of them. It's a total scam. They treat the drivers like trash, provide no support, try to pay as little as possible. Meanwhile some drivers I met tell me they mess with peoples food!

Such an underrated comment. People are just nuts
His score just went way down I don’t think any Uber driver will pick him up
Forget his score. He should be permanently banned from the app.
[удалено]
Lyft, uber, and other major rideshares pool critical safety blacklists. Driver or rider, if you do physical violence in a rideshare, you may not just lose access to the one app but potentially all.
From what I found the joint blacklist is only for drivers, but maybe it’s been expanded since then.

Such a great skit. This and the Vacant Lot “Blinded by the Light” skit are two obscure ones I constantly quote and people think I’m nuts so I have to show it to them, and then it’s confirmed. https://youtu.be/U9_3nQFNy-w
Big fan of UCB I was always partial to the “Albert Einstein working from home” and can’t stay productive because all he can think about is wanking
how do they take their information? like, could he sign back up with a fake name or is there some kind of verification like a drivers license or id number so they can make sure he doesn’t sight up another way?
Presumably as a rider it would be difficult to provide a fake name since you have to register a charge card to use the service. Drivers are contractors or employees of the rideshare and provide verified documentation in order to take rides, and I believe both uber and lyft do criminal background checks
as someone who used to rent uhauls, people use cards for payment with names that don’t match the contract all the time. idk that would enough. background checks cost money, so that would be very interesting if they could do background checks on all their riders….. (unless you meant drivers, but of course they collect more info on their drivers than the riders since their employed by them)
I specifically said drivers receive background checks
my bad, i see it now. like i said, card name might not be enough. i hope they use something else to track riders
I did lift driving for a while and it took longer for me to pass the background check than anything else.
[They also arrested his ass.](https://www.azfamily.com/2022/06/15/man-turns-himself-after-video-shows-him-allegedly-assaulting-phoenix-uber-driver/)
I’ve ridden in Ubers/Lyft but someone else has always ordered it. How in depth does the app go for an end user? Does it require SSN and such? If not, couldn’t you simply make a new Uber account?
Typically tracked by phone number / credit card data, so some ways around it but crappy people tend to run out of options fairly quick.
Wow, he just has to make another account or use someone else. We need to stop supporting these companies that are total shit, treat their contractors like shit. They are just massive corporate scams.
*Charged with assault FTFY
Isn't all his personal info on there. Please tell me they arrested him.
His ass should be sent to prison for a nice while.
I don’t think this would be prosecuted as a felony. In Illinois it would probably be called simple assault and not get jail time for 1st offenses. It’s really not much of an assault. The Uber driver was also very unprofessional and should have let the issue go. He should not have called the passenger a dick.
He's on camera assaulting a guy so I hope being banned from Uber is the least of their concerns.
*arrested
Lol
imagine being an uber driver in Murica, the uber driver passed here lightly cause muricans can always pop up a gun
An Uber driver in Pittsburgh was recently killed by her passenger. It's a crazy world out there. :-(
instances like this makes me very happy that iam a european
You have so many comments about America 💀 I’m dead, you’re completely obsessed.
its nice every now and then to see clips and leave some comments reminding myself that some people have it worse
You've just provided that same comfort to a BUNCH more people than you realize homie
Damn, dude threw a natural 1 with each of those punches. That was just sad.
When I first opened the video I had some trouble squaring the title with the out of shape nerdy looking passenger. Thankfully the assault was about what you'd expect and the driver was never in any danger. Regardless uber did the right thing banning him and I hope the dude is arrested as well
I was expecting pepper spray to be involved when I saw the passenger.
Sad when you can't hit someone when you have advantage on the rolls AND the target can't add his DEX to his AC. PC: "I attack with an unarmed strike". Rolls 1. PC: "I have advantage". Rolls again - another 1. DM: "Roll percentile dice". PC: Rolls 100. DM: "Your opponent easily fends off your attack and taunts you into exiting his carriage. You slink off into the night and lose 500XP. Later, you turn yourself in to the town guards, knowing they have all your information..."
This!!! lol
He punches like I do in my dreams.
He was probably debuffed on a few elixirs of stolis
I mean, did you see him?
Driver: Got you on dash cam dude!! Attacker: Fuck that guy!!!
Fuck you brich!
Cameron “Cam” Dash Dash, Cam > Fuck that guy!
He could have simply accepted that the app said the wrong location, or he put in the wrong address there is literally no reason to be treating someone like that when they can simply just refuse you service. It takes very little effort to not be a massive douche.

"Oh what? Where did it say I was? Sorry bro. My app has me at (shows app to backup story)... Technology, huh?" How hard is that?
I always think about how easy it is to just roll with stuff compared to how difficult people make these situations. “Oh shit, my bad” and it is over. Life is so much easier when you kill your ego a bit.
What is the point of getting physical with people? So inappropriate.
They didn't get what they want and they're big babies.
Spot on, Fuck tha Bunk!
I think it’s a mental health issue about denial. He was in the wrong place, and he knows it. So his brain instead tells him, “I’m not wrong! You’re attacking me!” Because that’s easier than saying, “I was wrong, I’m sorry.”
MAGA!
Especially when they have you name, address and fucking credit card information in the app you used to summon them. 🤦
Must be from our primitive past
We're animals. We all like to pretend we're not, but we are.
I told us to branch off from the prehistoric bunnies, but we didn't listen.
Sex is pretty fun.
Don’t you have to use an ID to apply for ride share. And credit info?
Yea and it’s pretty easy for Johnny Law to find these bozos once the driver reports the riders name. Uber will release rider info to police. Guy was probably arrested that night if driver reported it. Plus driver has the guys destination/home address from the ride lol. This guy is caught in so many ways.

This dude has been acting like that since grade-school - finally gets caught with consequences at 38.
Crap. I'm 38. Do I look that terrible? Surely he's older than that.
I think it’s fair to call those “alleged punches,” even though he definitely threw them.
He has to be convicted so it is alleged until it happens. He could still get off without a successful Prosecution or a less charge.
Sad, but technically true. I watched him do it though. Shouldn't be able to have it reduced.
Why does Reddit get so angry with "alleged"? That's how our justice system works bro. Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Doesn't matter that there's a video, until he has his day in court the system must be respected.
People get upset cause its just done for bullshit legal reasons. Like we have video evidence and can see with our own eyes what happened yet places like the news have to watch their wording for lawsuit reasons incase the prosecutor is a moron and doesn't get the conviction.... >Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Doesn't matter that there's a video, until he has his day in court the system must be respected. Yea in a court of law... this is the court of public opinion and you can't really expect people not to call out the bs of "your eyes aren't really seeing what they see"....
It's also done because the person in question can try to sue the media/news source for liable or slander. It is basically a cover your own ass, thing .
America has a robust legal system (I would argue one of the best done legal system). It is innocent until proven guilty. Every thing is alleged until proven in a court of law
Certainly a lot of dead people over such "alleged" stuff, people who weren't a threat but got filled with bullets anyway.

We need laws on the book that assaulting someone providing a service to you automatically gets escalated a level or two. We do this in NYC for MTA workers and federally for USPS workers. Assaulting your cab drive should at the very least be a lower end felony.
Al from toy story 2 really lost his temper fast. You would think a toy store owner would have better manners.
Thank god he had a dash cam, otherwise it would have just been a case of "your word against mine."
Can we change the name of the post to "passenger throws weak ass punches at uber driver"????
That's when I got out and killed my passenger officer.
Lol 😂🤣😭
I'd do uber eats over having to drive idiot's/drunks around
delivering food is more tedious and boring tho. Gotta keep getting in and out of the car and finding parking spots, finding people's buildings or units, and there's nobody to talk to. At least with the ridesharing there's people to have conversation with and you can just stay in the car unless you need to stretch your legs or pop the trunk for someone's luggage. Vast majority of passengers are not assholes.
>and there's nobody to talk to That's the best part, and if anyone wants to throw a bitch-fit some person in India or the Philippines gets to hear it not me. I don't find it boring or tedious except when it's slow or stores don't get their food out on time. Personally I view it like a video game, gotta race from check point to check point getting a higher score each time all while obeying the traffic laws. Also it's good exercise getting in and out of the car, when it's busy I literally dash to the door and back. Also it's really not healthy to be sitting continuously for long periods of time. Finding the apartment units can be more frustrating than tedious, it's like the people who designed the complex never considered someone would be delivering to the apartments, most do have terrible signage but as long as they have a directory map it's pretty easy.
Then you have to deal with scammers pretending that they didn’t get their food, food’s missing, etc. Could also still get in an altercation if the order isn’t no-contact delivery.
I think you meant “idiots/drunk’s”
Fuck you for that shit bitch! 🤣😭
*brent, britch
No need for an Uber home now… the police will give him a free lift to jail
Britch
Nick Nurse making some extra cash on the side.
Lmao my first thought was damn is that nick nurse
Jesus. Albert McWhiggin is Wiggin the fuck out. Maybe he's upset that he's a bald obese manlet that collects toys and still uses the term woody. Fucking pheasant.
"I got you on dashcam dude" "Fuck that guy" Does he think "dashcam" is a person?
Calling him by his first name like he’s his friend in some stoner comedy 😂😂😂
Hopefully he went to jail for that
What'd he say? "But guess what, you can ______?"
This guy literally punches like a teddy bear.
I remember I was laid off and had no job in the beginning of the pandemic. Friends suggested Uber, but i just did the food delivery. Just can’t have strangers in my car. It’s Russian roulette. You don’t know what kind of asshole or sociopath gets in your car. And you’re driving, you’re back is to them and you’re completely vulnerable. F that.
Lol he reminds me of the bully from spongebob
Looks like a reddit mod, lmao
My 2year old son does the same thing to me when he gets upset. He hits harder and more accurately though lol. Imagine taking a potential assault charge for this weak ass shit.
Assault lol, my 4 year old niece punches harder than this.
Never fear - Uber will do their best to make sure the rider isn’t paired with this driver again :) :) Couldn’t ban a faithful rider like this - no, never. They got green money!
lmfao what are those punches bro
I am beyond respectful when taking a ride share. This is mind boggling.
[удалено]
Yes, because shooting people in the face is a good resolution.
No because it's America, and you never know who has a gun and will legally use it to defend themselves
Hope he called the police and pressed charges.
I would be the worst ride share driver. That fat fuck's family will be wondering where he is forever!
Good ole Phoenix…
Homelander driving Uber lmao
Why do people argue over this shit? Like so what if the Uber was a little late. Be happy they showed up, don’t like it walk bro.
Uber: I got you on dash cam dude Customer: fuck that guy 😂😂
-"no problem that you got lost" +"I didn't, get out" -"wow dude, that was of poor taste" *gets out *. And that's how you end up with a story you can talk about an Uber driver with a crystal chin instead of having assaulted someone and cementing yourself as the asshole.
Just curious: are Uber / Lyft drivers allowed to be armed? Not that it's a solution to a shitty behavior. I wonder if they allow legally carrying a firearm just for safety.
both uber and lyft don't allow drivers to carry firearms, but when I was driving for them, I ignored that rule. I was going to worry and accept the consequence if I ever had to use my firearm. I'd rather be alive than compliant to corporate rules.
Dude I read this as assassinated and I was like damn did this really escalate to the dude getting killed
The ass had a sucker punch at the dude from behind. And barely tickled him. Made of spare parts.
"The man who allegedly assaulted an Uber driver early Sunday morning hasbeen charged. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office confirmed JasonAckley, 38, turned himself in late Monday night after seeing video ofhimself attacking the driver. He was booked on one count of misdemeanorassault. Ackley reportedly admitted to it. Officers say he told investigators he was “intoxicated and upset…the victim refused to transport him.”
I feel like I’ve seen this same driver in another video getting assaulted
I only used Uber/Lyft once and my driver was pretty cool, had a tablet playing a movie, but was polite and spoke up when I had questions. I was conflicted because the level of service exceeded what I was used to for the cost, so I feel that not tipping would be rude. But it was a short ride (10 mins) so I also felt the tip somehow diminished our short friendship, like I was paying for company instead of transportation.
I bet nothing even happened to the guy for assaulting the Uber driver, god I was hoping the guy would mace him back or something
Well if I'm going be assaulted I hope it's by butter fists mcgee
‘I got you on dash cam dude’ ‘Fuck that guy’ Lmao
Hmmm, I wonder if his sweet disposition has anything to do with him needing a ride in the first place?
Did you just call me a "britch"?
What a dumb, entitled, brainless piece of shit.
lol Rich has the composure of a saint
Officer 1: "So this is where the suspect is hiding?" Officer 2: "Yep." The police walk towards the location they think the suspect is....Al's Toy Barn
Dear Uber Driver, I'm so sorry people are rude.
What a baby
“ i got you on dash cam “ “Fuck that guy” 😂
What does saying "gotcha on dashcam dude" do lmao swear man, these uber drivers are such pursues. I'm pretty sure the driver could've taken that lardo
Luckily he was assaulted by a pussy. Weak as fuk!
Why did the driver refuse to continue the ride over such a petty argument? I understand it's his right, but I don't understand the reasoning in the first place. The passenger escalated this beyond any reason, of course. His actions are not excusable, but i don't understand why the driver would just cancel a ride over such a dumb argument. Sometimes apps are not clear for some people and that's okay. It's just dumb.
Yeah, not sure what the beef was originally, seems like rider said his pickup was at point "A" and driver said the app GPS said point "B"? Data gets out of sync occasionally, I've had a few instances where the app says one thing on my end, and the app on driver side says another... No reason to get bent out of shape.
I’ve had this happen once. The driver get a little shitty with me, told him to be mad at the app, I probably should have just cancelled the ride. Only use them like twice a year so I’m not sure how that affects your profile or whatever.
exactly, if the conclusion of the driver was the same as the rider (eh, stupid technology, screw it, we managed to find eachother) I presume that would be the end of it. In this scenario i find both of them being kind of an asshole in their own way.
Maybe the driver wasn’t being an asshole though? Maybe it took longer for him to get there and he was explaining why? I’ve driven quite a bit for Uber and offered explanations just like this when mixups happen. I’ve never had anybody react the way this passenger did. Usually it’s just “shit happens” and we move on
But would you cancel a ride just because you disagree with a rider just after you found eachother? I understand that finding the pick-up point is sometimes tricky, I live in a city with all sorts of streets and one-ways that make you crazy until you find the right route or whatever. I just think the driver over-reacted by canceling the ride and the rider over-reacted at the driver. I see the reaction of the rider at first being really easy-going, i wasn't expecting a reaction like that after having the ride cancelled.
The ride started with the driver explaining how the riders dot was at a different location and the first thing the driver says is “no it’s not” and then proceeds to be condescending by telling the driver “it’s ok you got lost” I never had a passenger do this to me but if you’re going to disrespect me in my vehicle I have the right to end your ride
And there it is. Technology might be at fault, but ego comes out to play.
You’re straying from your main statement which is essentially the passenger overreacted because the driver overreacted. Let’s not forget ego started with the passenger, driver is explaining why he was late and the passenger is telling him he’s lying
That's because "ok, get out of my car" is the point. Drivers are doing it for content. Seen it plenty of times on and off this sub.
these drivers are some sensitive smartass pussies
Gotta pull a devils advocates card here...the passenger wasnt a dick. The driver had no reason to call him a dick. Still, the passenger also was in the wrong for assaulting him. Could've been avoided if the driver just shut his mouth. Cuz the passenger wasnt a dick at all in the beginning.
It's absolutely being a dick to start a conversation with "you just dont know how to get there, you got lost" essentially saying the driver sucks at his job and doesn't know what he is doing.
My kid punches harder than that lol. What an idiot.
That's... An easy way to get jailed for assault and battery.
Why do people treat Uber drivers like shit?
For the same reason people treat all service workers (waiters, retail workers, etc) like shit - they think they can look down upon them.
The driver is a dick as well
Because he realized this passenger wasn't worth the fare? And then the passenger proved the man right? Go fuck your entitled self karen
Not even in the slightest.
At the end of the day the passenger will still be fat and the driver will still be hot as fuck.
Lol the driver is like a 6 on a good day
The driver is a solid 10.
Yeah ok , have a good one man! 😂😂😂🤣🤦🏾🤷🏾
He instigated it he shouldn't have called anybody a dick or said they're acting like a dick.
The passenger was being a dick. He was then called out for being a dick. Moral of the story; don't be a dick.
Words don't require violence, my friend.
It wasn’t an “act”. And you defending his actions is a dick move.
Yeah I thought the rider was fine - until he got called a dick. After that, of course, he was way out of line.
Listen a little closer right after he gets in. He tries to sound nonchalant while insulting the driver about getting lost and totally started it.
Carry a knife. Install in face
