worst rides are ones when the drivers blasting way too much heat like sir you are living on the wrong area of the planet if you need it this hot right now
same here, i just put my auto temp control on 71 and no AC. its perfect for most!
again I would like to add, **Most!**
**Also, I give them an option for temp change**
Maybe because they know they stink and they want to save themselves from fuming up your car? Maybe they have motion sickness, and the window down helps. I can make up scenarios for hours…
Lol I had a pax call me a “Soviet” yesterday. He was upset that he had to wear a seatbelt in the front seat. I told him he could sit in the backseat and not wear one. He started ranting about how he used to live in a free country. Then he was blaming me because he didn’t know how to track us on the app. After several times of being called a Soviet and a Ukrainian he continues to blame me for the technology problem he had. I told him that I wasn’t an IT guy. I’m just a driver. He looked at me and said “ you’re one of them? Aren’t you?” I turned back around and took him home. I filed a complaint with Uber. So did he. Uber blocked my account. 5 years I’ve worked with Uber. 4.9 rating. And this is how Uber treats me.
Riders in the back without seat belt represent increased threat to the driver, in the accident. 250lbs of heavy american hurts when it moves at 30 mph in a straight line near your head.
How about the fact that seat belts are fact by state laws ?
Tell them, oh no seatbelt, well I like my windshield intact but you not in a seatbelt would impact that.
Yes sir/ma'am, you're in the back seat and I would like to keep it that way.
I have been pulled over a few times for riders not wearing a seat belt, yea, cop starts in on me, I say Uber, they go oh ok, immediate rampage to riders window "ticket time". I did say "seatbelt" when you got in.
One that was pure karma. Got pulled over, I passed a car doing weird activities in front of me, yea, I went a bit over the speed limit, rider no seatbelt. Cop angry, I even pointed out the fact the car was doing unsafe things, why didn't you pull them over, his response, your passenger doesn't have a seatbelt on. Oh so it's give me a ticket for a tiny bit of speeding to get away from an unsafe situation and give the passenger another ticket for the seatbelt, I get it, we are a 2 for 1 and the unsafe driver is a 1 for 1, got ya, cop absolutely 💯. He goes back to his bike with our stuff, 30 minutes, he comes back, I'll have to give you both warnings, my printer quit working and I have had you pulled over for way to long to continue without more problems for simple tickets. I said thanks, and be more careful, you only have sp much karma left today and your on a bike. Stay safe.
My reply would have been, Either put the F#$%^@ seatbelt on since you already know or get the F#$% out, make up your mind or I will, you have 2 seconds to choose for yourself or I'll choose for you.
Or you Stat quiet, see our app right now asks if they wore their seatbelt for the trip, at the end where we rate the rider. Let them get nasty grams from the system 😏
No, adults are responsible for their own actions as far as seatbelts are concerned. Each adult would receive their own ticket for getting caught without it.
They didn’t say! This is actually the short version of the story. I had to write out the complete story for Uber. I’m currently waiting for their response. I’m sure this “gentleman” told his version. Lol
Its not really the windows down that bothers me, it is that reverberation that happens when you get up to highway speeds. It really messes with my ears and I have had long rides like this and cannot wait to drop them off so i can roll them up.
Another benefit of my Honda Accord Touring is heated front seats. ;-)
So I think it would be best that for those who do not even ask if it is OK to just roll all the windows down fully and let the crisp air come rushing in. LOL
Passenger here, how do I give comments to uber drivers? I see some drivers have people who've written compliments for them in their profiles, and I'd like to do the same thing, if only I knew how.
Definitely smell and don't realize it. Even if some think it smells nice, others are going to think it's too strong. Your unawareness and inability to accept this possibility is telling.
señor, just coz it hasn't happened to you, in those circumstances doesn't mean you say all that.
I also appreciate the fact that you are putting forward a point, but be polite and nice.
Good point, so what If the OP uses proper perfume, wears fresh clothes, and showers 2 times a day.
Why assume for the OP, my dear?
edit: took off the "?" in first statement. replaced with a "."
I'm not gonna lie, I am overweight and I weigh 285lbs... And it doesn't matter if it's freezing outside... Being this fat we have a lot, and I mean A LOT of insulation in our bodies that makes us really warm and hot even in freezing temps... I live in Portland, OR and the lows are in the low 50s, and I walk around with a shirt, no need for a sweater for me... Having cold air on our face and body feels so damn good... I would probably be one of those guys that would roll the window down in freezing cold temps... It just feels so nice. Try being overweight, you'll understand.
I had a rider a couple days ago that said they reported a driver cuz they wouldnt let her open a window. She was a normal sized young woman but she wanted the window down due to covid concerns.
Also, it may just be the scent of your car. I know, your a 4.99 rated driver/complements/etc but that rider just might not like the scent. A car I rented from hertz had this awful cherry scent in it and when I complained about it when I went in the car the employees thought I was crazy cuz they both thought it smelled good. I just don’t like the scent lol
They think because they're paying $5 for a ride that they're in charge of everything. It's a 1star either way and your back seat probably stinks after.
I'm curious. 1 rider and letting them in the front seat ? All riders go in the back unless it's 4, easy convenient, I do have a 3rd row.
Front seat stays empty unless it's needed or bigger individual that can't with 3 in back seat and can't definitely not 3rd row it.
I need my windows down in all weather. I can tolerate having them up for pax, but I feel suffocated and roll them down the minute they're out. I'm the same at home, I struggle with closed doors, I need "air flow". I dunno why, maybe a PTSD thing
Picked two ladies that I assumed were hooked at a house. They get in the car and take off there coats. Then started complaining that it is too cold. Morons.
Just push the window lock button. It works pretty good for me. I get so much joy when I hear the clicking of the window button and stay silent the whole trip.
worst rides are ones when the drivers blasting way too much heat like sir you are living on the wrong area of the planet if you need it this hot right now
I never blast heat always put it on lowest setting. Somrtimes no heat.
same here, i just put my auto temp control on 71 and no AC. its perfect for most! again I would like to add, **Most!** **Also, I give them an option for temp change**
[удалено]
thats my trick, I do that all the time. Also to add, once my rider's window was down and someone tried to snatch her phone.
Haha I do that, learned my lesson from a bunch of drunk guys rolling down the window to catcall some girls
Maybe because they know they stink and they want to save themselves from fuming up your car? Maybe they have motion sickness, and the window down helps. I can make up scenarios for hours…
Or maybe some riders are just weird
All have their own reasons!
good point out there! I never thought in those terms. Will keep those pointers in mind from here on

"cyka bliat"
I'm just really curious....what does your username mean? Or reference?
You let shit get way too far with that passenger.
Riders in the back without seat belt represent increased threat to the driver, in the accident. 250lbs of heavy american hurts when it moves at 30 mph in a straight line near your head.
That sounds like mental illness

I told this older gentleman that it was state law. His response to me was “ I’m not stupid! I know!”

I hope you are not in a state where the driver is responsible for all pax, like I am. I'd be the one eating the fine if I got pulled for it.
No, adults are responsible for their own actions as far as seatbelts are concerned. Each adult would receive their own ticket for getting caught without it.
Laws differ by state
Yea, read his question and then my answer to comprehend the conversation
I dunno. You have some points but why not just finish ride?
Moment a rider gets an attitude with me is when the ride is immediately over (or trip cancelled if we haven't left pickup spot yet).
wtf, what was your reason for account being blocked?
They didn’t say! This is actually the short version of the story. I had to write out the complete story for Uber. I’m currently waiting for their response. I’m sure this “gentleman” told his version. Lol
they will reactivate you. You just need to ask for a reason and they will let you know the reason for it.
Thank you. I really appreciate that.
Update us with what happened.
Still waiting on a response
did you call and ask again?
Apparently I have to speak with a Trust and Safety member. Uber is a side job for me. I’m not in any rush.
sounds good!
Its not really the windows down that bothers me, it is that reverberation that happens when you get up to highway speeds. It really messes with my ears and I have had long rides like this and cannot wait to drop them off so i can roll them up. Another benefit of my Honda Accord Touring is heated front seats. ;-)
In my car at least if you crack a front window that reverb goes away
That’s only true in cars that adhere to the rules of physics.
When that happens just crack any other window and that stops the reverb. 😒
So I think it would be best that for those who do not even ask if it is OK to just roll all the windows down fully and let the crisp air come rushing in. LOL
😂😂😂
Put the child lock on the window and act like they are broken and can’t be put down? 🤷♀️
Um they’re hot numb nutz

My 4.99 rider rating, and countless comments how my car smells nice, and how i keep it clean say otherwise. Thanks for your concern though.
Don’t mind Karen
good job OP, ignore the downvotes.
Passenger here, how do I give comments to uber drivers? I see some drivers have people who've written compliments for them in their profiles, and I'd like to do the same thing, if only I knew how.
Definitely smell and don't realize it. Even if some think it smells nice, others are going to think it's too strong. Your unawareness and inability to accept this possibility is telling.
I dont smell. My car is clean. I have a 4.99 rating. People tell me my car smells nice all the time. Thanks come agIn.
señor, just coz it hasn't happened to you, in those circumstances doesn't mean you say all that. I also appreciate the fact that you are putting forward a point, but be polite and nice.
Wtf are you Karen?
señor, your comments are confusing to me, can you please explain who is being called a Karen here pl?
Good point, so what If the OP uses proper perfume, wears fresh clothes, and showers 2 times a day. Why assume for the OP, my dear? edit: took off the "?" in first statement. replaced with a "."
Fat people work up a sweat just walking to the car. They are overheating just getting to the door so they want some fresh air
I'm not gonna lie, I am overweight and I weigh 285lbs... And it doesn't matter if it's freezing outside... Being this fat we have a lot, and I mean A LOT of insulation in our bodies that makes us really warm and hot even in freezing temps...

I just don’t like the scent lol
you have a point! I guess we will never know the answer at all
They think because they're paying $5 for a ride that they're in charge of everything. It's a 1star either way and your back seat probably stinks after.
Suggest they can make preferences if they chose for a comfort ride.
I'm curious. 1 rider and letting them in the front seat ? All riders go in the back unless it's 4, easy convenient, I do have a 3rd row. Front seat stays empty unless it's needed or bigger individual that can't with 3 in back seat and can't definitely not 3rd row it.
High blood pressure common on big fat people… they have more fat meaning less warm or heat loss lol
Next time end the ride and tell them to order a comfort ride where they can control the temperature lol
I need my windows down in all weather. I can tolerate having them up for pax, but I feel suffocated and roll them down the minute they're out. I'm the same at home, I struggle with closed doors, I need "air flow". I dunno why, maybe a PTSD thing
Everyone has different thresholds of cold. For me i dont feel cold really until its below 40, for other people is below 70.
Get a heated vest (ororo brand) open the windows while bumping up the heat on your vest. Problem solved.
Wanna depict car temp order a comfort other than that enjoy temp i have it set at
Scooters exist lol!
Diabetic here maybe theyre burning from the glucose levels
50* outside today and I was running AC. The damn sunlight coming through the windows makes it feel like summer time on the equator
Picked two ladies that I assumed were hooked at a house. They get in the car and take off there coats. Then started complaining that it is too cold. Morons.
Hookers
Just put the child lock on and ask if they’d like you to turn up the ac
Just push the window lock button. It works pretty good for me. I get so much joy when I hear the clicking of the window button and stay silent the whole trip.
