3 Reasons You Are A Bad Lyft and Uber Passenger!
Driving for Uber and Lyft is one of the greatest side hustle privileges to make ends meet for hustlers. It’s a great job to meet monthly bills; if you are good at saving, you can use that income to invest in other businesses. But while those companies are great side gigs, it can also be stressful for drivers dealing with rude and mean-spirited passengers who are entitled and think that the world evolves around them.
Some, if not most drivers, can attest that 89–99% of their passengers are sociable or have been kind and, at times, considerate, but some are downright rude and entitled. And, if you are a driver, you can usually spot a bad passenger before they get in your car. If you take Lyft or Uber, here are 3 reasons you are a bad passenger.
1. You are entitled: You almost always immediately let drivers know that the world evolves around you by ordering them around to commit to your demands during the ride through some verbal or nonverbal communication. Yet, you sometimes don’t realize it because you live in a bubble. Given this idea, usually, you don’t check your ratings because you feel that the world must deal with you. And if you do, your rating would usually be between 4.5 or below, and given Lyft and Uber rating systems, that’s a red flag, which lets drivers know to be mindful of your entitled behaviors.
