2 people walking side by side on a sidewalk automaticallly have priority over a single

I HATE THAT SHIT! So many times I just want to play chicken with one of them

There is something deeply wrong with those people.

It's in my bones to walk behind or in front when someone comes if there's only enough space for 2 people

Next time when the Uber accepts the ride, hit the message button and tell em "Hi, I'M CARRYING A DOG", at least they can cancel the ride right then and there instead of driving over to you to cancel.

It's silly but drivers can be all sorts of clueless

It’s wild that you can’t just request stuff like that in the app. Same with needing a child seat

I've driven for Uber before, the driver app is buggy as all hell and I persinally refuse to do pet trips as they are so few and far between in my area that it really only hurts me if I want to make a steady income doing normal rides for the day. I frequently will open the app to see it randomly will toggle on pet rides and package deliveries despite me never trying to sign up for those services. The wrost part is as a driver, you have 10 seconds WHILE driving to accept of or deny the request so the only thing I can safely quickly look at is the ammount I am being offered for the trip and the estimated trip distance to make sure that ammount is worth my time. Once you accept a ride, you can see 0 information about that ride until you drop off your current rider, once the first rider is out, the only information for the next trip uber gives you is the pick up location and the name of the account. It's put me in a lot of akward situations where someone ordered a pet ride and I show up and say they can't have thier pet to find out they did in fact pay for Uber pets but Uber decided I was a Pet and package driver that day as well despite again NEVER signing up for those additional services.I feel loke not enough people actually sign up to do those and Uber tries to trick the drivers into accepting those kind of rides and once they realize it was a pet ride they canceled. As bad as that was for you, I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if you were also experincing Ubers own issues with drivers first hand there.

7 years? You're optimistic. I think that already happened years ago.

I still reckon it was probably a fake story created to get people talking about the existence of that service. i.e. an ad.

It's a cheaper option, to allow your uber to "carpool", I.E. Your uber can pick up other passengers heading in the same direction to be more efficient, thus justifying your discount.

You can see why it'd be a jerk move to then get mad at the other passengers, who had no idea who they'd be pooling with, and how insane it would be to use it on the way to your wedding.

I was wondering too. Wouldn't the water get spilled in the turns?

Trust me, any public transport would be great but even in liberal states we’re seeing large fund cuts. The public bus stop 5 min from my house that went straight to the tram that goes downtown is now a 30 min walk that goes to a diff tram station that goes to my regular tram station which goes downtown. 1.5 hours to go 15 miles, I’ll uber. Or in summer months I’ll ride my bike to the close tram.

I can’t wait to move to the city….

That's what my wife and I did

on the one hand, that's dumb.

on the other hand, that doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
