“I took a ride Saturday Oct 10 at 2am. This was my last ride for the day. Two men step in one of them being shi-faced drunk other buzzed. The super drunk one hurled nothing but racial slurs and insults at me. Saying "You don't know where im from n word and what not. He threw up…”
“For the worst paying ride, I’ve ever completed. it doesn’t show in the photo but I dropped off the final passenger at exactly 6 PM which made the ride a grand total of one hour and six minutes. When the ride was advertised to me, it was $14.50 for exactly 30 minutes (which I…”

When the ride was advertised to me, it was $14.50 for exactly 30 minutes (which I never would’ve accepted, except it was going to the town that I live in and it was my last ride of the day ) and I picked up a second passenger on the way, which actually ended up making the ride even better than it would’ve”

“Hey all. Odd situation, I picked up a passenger at 7:00 am this morning, first ride of the day, for a 7 minute ride in a nice neighborhood. A man comes out and is too drunk to open the back door (tesla so didn’t judge). When he gets in, immediately get hit with the smell of somebody that hadn’t showered in a week, and an odor of someone who probably pissed/shat himself recently. I try not to judge people, just rolled down the windows and headed out. Asked where he was going and he said liquor st”
“Last Tuesday, I logged on for a few hours to kill time between when I had to drop my wife off and attend a job interview. My first customer was a coworker, and he was drunk off his a** at 8:30 in the morning. Smelled like a bar and was clearly still drunk. One of the most awkward rides I've ever given. submitted by /u/Antique-Copy2636 [link] [comments]”

The guy looks me in the eyes says some incoherent weird stuff and tries to”

“A 32 min ride with a stop. About two miles from the destination, they changed the destination to a location I didn’t want to go to. I let her know I would drop her off and she could get another uber. Then the destination switched back to the original location, followed by about five more swaps back and forth before I pulled over at a gas station to let her out. She cancelled just as I pulled over. The ride shows in my CMT results but not my earnings activity, and Uber support is telling me that”
