I'm a driver for Uber and Lyft — here are 8 ways I can tell someone is going to be a bad passenger within 5 seconds
No, I cannot and will not take the five of you. This goes right back to the whole"respecting my car, respecting the law" thing. I have even had people offer me an extra $20 in cash to take all of them, which makes me wonder, why not just order an XL ride at that point?Witthaya Prasongsin /Getty Images
Some people have this strange notion in their brain that their Uber has a magical aura surrounding it, protecting the car from any and all accidents that may happen, and feel like they don't have to put on a seat belt. I have a little shtick I say when people get inside of my car, and it goes something like this:"Hello, my name is Clarke, how are you, you are [name], right? You're going to [location]? Great! There is a phone charger here for you to use.
Those asking me to do extra things not listed on the app or to do extra things not allowed, are telling me that they are bad passengers. Andrew Burton/Getty Images When I'm sitting still, I make the hourly rate for my area , $0.1275 a minute on Lyft, which equates to $7.65 an hour, and $0.13 a minute on Uber, which equates to $7.80 an hour — both of which are currently less than the. If my wheels are not turning, I am not making money. If I wanted to volunteer, I'd go work with the cute puppies and cats at the animal shelter. Sorry, but I'm doing this job to make money.
One day, my patience was running really thin. I was not having a good day. I pulled up to an office, a lady walked out, gave me a wave, and then gave me the waiting finger. She then lit up a cigarette and made a phone call. Her body language screamed"I am selfish."
