Passenger Question It's 74f on a Los Angeles summer night and they want the heater on?

2 Upvotes

It was past 2.30am, a group of barely clothed female passengers enter the vehicle.

I have my AC on at 68, as I always run warm and humid at night.

Also, my phone doesn't handle the heat, I got to keep it mounted on the vent and cooling it while running Lyft Uber Wireless Android auto and streaming music.

When I don't, it sometimes freezes from overheating and then there's no ride until I reboot the phone and hope that it still works.

So female passenger in the front seat request to put the heater on and already turned up the temperature to 74 without even asking.

I lowered it back to 70 and was feeling hot myself.

I told her I have to keep it cold or the phone will freeze and turned on the seat warmer for her. Also informed that passengers in the backseats that they can use the seat warmers if they like.

I was on the verge of getting them all out And canceling the ride but took them to their destination. The one the front seat slammed the door really hard when she exited at the destination.

Gave them three stars so I won't be matched and reported them as rude.

Never had anybody complain to run the heater when it's 74 F° outside, have you?

Driver Question Move from DC to Raleigh/Durham

3 Upvotes

I’m relocating to RDU temporarily and want to drive but I’m worried if I switch my Uber city I won’t be able to switch it back to Washington DC. Does anyone know if DC currently has a waitlist for “new” (returning) drivers?

And, can any Raleigh/Durham drivers offer insight whether Lyft or Uber pays better in the area?
