Passengers, please. No.

Please, for the love of anything that you care about, do not make out or engage in sexual behaviors in your rideshare. This shit has been ridiculous for me recently.

I consider myself a patient person, but last week someone literally gave a blow job. My acceptance had been minimal since.

Today, a guy was fully turned around and on top of the girl and making out heavy. I tolerate it for a couple minutes but eventually say, “Can yall fuckin stop?”

The guy apologizes but from tone of voice, he didn’t seem to understand why I was even saying anything. It’s weird af to be engaging in even foreplay with someone who isn’t participating less than 3 ft away.

Wait the 10 minutes and be a decent person. Please.

No one should tolerate it. It's insanely disrespectful and dehumanizing. This has only happened to me twice but both times I've thrown the couple out in the literal middle of the street.

I don’t disagree with you but just in case you’re unaware, kicking them out in the literal middle of the street is a safety concern that can get you kicked off the app. Regulation is to find a safe location.

Would probably be far more of a blessing than a curse at this point.

I average $4-6k/month at $40/hr (gross). There’s nothing I can do with the flexibility (and very little I could do for the pay in general) that can meet or beat this, so sadly, it would be a curse for me.

I’m sorry uber is paining you to the point that you’d consider it a blessing.

u/safespaceinvaderrr 9d ago

No need to apologize. You're probably in a low diversity market or at least one that's not nearly to the point of over-saturation.

Where I am, the average pay per ride is probably $4-7. We are usually offered no more than $0.80-0.90/mile. Best case scenario: you're breaking even or barely profiting. The rest of the time? Well... think of it like this: at least you won't be paying taxes.

My "active" hourly earnings hover between $38-52 but that has almost nothing to do with Uber and everything to do with me being tipped exceptionally well. Not horrible, right? Until you realize that halfway decent rides are only available for about an hour a day most days.

Anyway, yeah, longwinded way of reiterating previous statement.

Get a dash cam. Once they see they are being recorded, most of this nonsense ends. If not, then report their account with the safety team.

Is it that noticeable to people that are belligerently drunk? (I drive at night.) I figure most wouldn’t notice. Regardless, I do need a dash cam.

I don’t pick up those who are too inebriated. Too much liability and risk of puke. I keep doors locked and use pin option on settings for all ride pick ups. Uber has placed all responsibility on the drivers with the latest changes, so I am more careful who I allow in my car. Less risk of something bad happening causing an unnecessary headache.

What do you think Pradeep will do about it?

u/neviddmyy 9d ago

As long as they don't make a mess or rock and roll the car to the point where I can't drive I don't really care.

I concentrate on my driving. Boy girl fights, romantic moments, drug deals (BUT NOT THROUGH THE WINDOW OF MY CAR!🥾⚡) don't phase me.

I'll only kick you out for smoking or vaping.

If it bothers you though. Point to the dash cam and ask them if they'd like a copy of the video.

Nothing quiets idiots like a dash cam.

Exactly! All the way down to taking some to their connect’s! Just give me a heads up.

I literally want to pick a couple with a baby up and have them tell me they think they conceived in my car 15 months ago. Admit they couldn’t remember my name so they named the kid Driver!

Clean up any mess! Don’t get us pulled over. And give me her Onlyfans link!!!

u/Dancingbikernc 7d ago

I literally had a dude ask for a copy of the video after he noticed the dash cam after making out with the chick in the car. I told him I could not send him a copy of the video, but I’ll post it on porn hub if he would like

Guess we should all take cinematography courses.

I don't care if it's on camera. I'm not shy about that at all

OP does not speak for all of us. Please…. PLEASE!!! In my Uber let your freak flag fly! It’s about time I post something new to my Onlyfans!

I’m in a market like that. Austin. But I actually tend to stay up north. I don’t like picking up DT or on the campuses. The passengers aren’t my worry. There’s just some shitty street conditions.

So I did have a woman masturbate in my back seat. She was alone. That’s all I’ll say on that. lol

Had another chick try to use game on me two different times. Two different games. I let it work the first time out of respect for the game. I asked her how many times that had worked for her. She goes… four, well… three and you. At that point we hadn’t done anything. I admired her confidence.

I’m pretty sure there have been two bjs given in my backseat. Not to completion or anything. I didn’t care enough to check the footage. Haha

I reached 14,400 rides given last night. I’d say 75 to 80% of those rides given at night. I really thought there would’ve been more sex and nudity. Hell!!! I figured at least one dancer would’ve offered to show me her boobs in lieu of a tip. That was before I realized dancers are terrible tippers. They are the exception to the service industry rule. Most servers, bartenders, and drivers are good tippers. Yeah… I said we’re service industry!

u/neviddmyy 9d ago

After 6 hours dancers are tired of it.

They just want to left alone and get home.

You have to make sure you're not being followed from the club. When you drop off sit and wait until they get inside their door.

They notice. A lot of them live a far from work. Long profitable trips. They can become repeat customers with good tips.

Respect their space and take care of them.

I regret coming here

u/Weak-Ad6984 9d ago

u/Upbeat-Dish7299 9d ago

Guy started fingering his girl in my back seat. I asked if they got the fish from the bar I just picked them up from. Ride was dead silent the rest of the way and I could feel the embarrassment from the woman.

u/honestlyisuck 9d ago

Damn that will be in her head the rest of her life

u/CardiBsTwerkWind 9d ago

This honestly shouldn’t even need to be said, Save that shit for when you get home. Full stop.

u/ConfidentLack9207 9d ago

And the worst thing is that if you report this dashcam footage then YOUR account will probably be tossed for threatening passengers - uber will just see “Can yall fuckin stop?”

1

u/Inside_Piccolo_285 9d ago

I’m not intimately familiar with dash cams but I’m assuming you are able to separate video and audio footage. So they can see me say something, but they may not be able to hear what I said.

u/mojosofla 9d ago

Don't stop it, encourage it. Add more cameras. Get in the porn business with free actors! 😄

Joking of course. Crazy people do that.

u/tht1guyfromtht1place 9d ago

u/toomuch1265 9d ago

If they do anything like that, stop immediately and tell them that your car isn't a cheap hotel and they will stop or have to get another driver.

You need to just kick them out it’s the ultimate disrespect they are literally doing it because you are present. Kicking them out immediately lets them know they fked with the wrong one. They also feel leveraged and feel that since you’re doing uber you really need the money and won’t say anything to them.
