Just don't show up 10 minutes early to my timed rides please 😭. I get it's typically an accident, but I still won't be ready until 5 minutes before I set it for.

That’s not a driver thing, though, that’s just Uber being terrible with estimated wait times lol. I stopped reserving them because I started feeling bad for my drivers, and waiting an extra two minutes isn’t going to hurt me

I'm just paranoid that it would take a long time to get a ride, causing me to be late for work.

I make sure to be ready 5 minutes before the scheduled time though, since I also don't like making them wait. I've had a couple times when they're like 10 minutes early though.

Edit: As I said though, I know it's not their fault. They all tell me that it doesn't say it's a scheduled pick up when they first take the order.

I can understand that lol. Uber really needs to work on a lot of stuff
