i am sorry for your experience. is there no option on the platform to make a counter complaint ?



Nigerians. anytime you stand your ground for what is right, they will always call you wicked. i really wonder how a rider can have the gall to tell a driver to buy her food.

That's the problem, complaining seems like a waste of resourceful time

pocohantas:
She has guts though.

pardon my manner for using d word "br*t" to portray her, we get on well, she talked about her personal life and such, even ask if I can help her make transfer and she will give me cash, at a point start address me like "You don't want to help your friend abi?"... I'm just cracking smile with d mindset of knowing she's out to manipulate me, Dats r person, no point being mad at her, I just flow with her, but won't push me to d point of the unthinkable las las dropped and said I love u

Me: shall pack ur wahala and go, almost 2 hrs trip on admiralty way alone

peeps4u:
How dare you turn down rider's request to buy her food?
If you can't please your rider, please take your car off Uber platform

metrecube:
The first rider is right. You are not meant to collect the toll you didn't pay for.
I'm happy you didn't disappoint me with the second rider. No to condom purchase when you are not the guy using it with her. No to yam purchase when you have two maids. No to food purchase when you won't even taste the food.

Boss I never said she was wrong, this is a case of logics and ignorance either from me or her part... If she have a case, she should forward it to Bolt and let them do the needful, I didn't even check to know if the app display toll gate added, all I told her is I'm going to take displayed fee... Need you know (I may b wrong), bolt do deduct 20 percentage from total fees including toll gate, Dats 60 naira, which account do you want to to bring that from?

I've seen both fair and unfair part of this hustle, I don't use saka or have the intention of cheating anyone, like I once said, I won't place myself at the receiving end to please riders (or all riders).

northbird:
Boss, don't be dissuaded some riders are like that. Since you didn't go, though it cost you.

I salute your resoluteness. Your mere act has implanted an impression that not all drivers can take any kind of shitty errands.

If she encounters 5 or more drivers that display the same kind of gentle but firm refusal to degrade the partner job on e-hailing. Then it wud b d standard.

Sometimes I wonder, wat is wrong with some riders, you are not handicapped/physically challenged neither are you an invalid, yet you refuse to run your own errands.

I will write uber and Bolt a message on the need to address their riders in mails and texts on the purpose why the platform was created : ease of movement from one location to another in Lagos.



That is beyond customer service, the other day, a Lady too asks one dude here to buy her a pack of protection.



I don't think uber and bolt regularly sensitize (in mails n msgs) their riders on inappropriate behaviour towards the driver.

All I see them doing is sending messages n bonus and certain discounts to bring in more revenue.

There is a certain level of professional distance that has to b maintained, we r meeting for the first time n you start sending me to buy you food.

Bolt and Uber needs to up their game on inappropriate rider behaviour, not rating this time.

I've been following d chat here since yesterday and its kind of funny, I don't get worked up for no reason, she only try her luck but hit the rock, fact is so many drivers take nonsense and forget dia purpose, no one is doing anyone favour here, from the riders, d company and drivers, we all need each other to function, so disrespecting only shows the level of exposure and a point to where such rider is coming from, it not just about riders, but who we r.

slamstanlee:
chai.... Na wa

Since some people don deh go buy CD, just expect d unexpected

Gentlelife50:
Bros no vex u get small stature?

Lol Gentlife I go find Jesusson for u oo.... But truth b told I think this is now a norm, I just ended a trip and it just happened again, another rider I loan 2k still ask for same thing right at Tc 4th round about. The other lady said driver have been doing so for her, the question now should b which drivers r into this show of shame, r deh so deprive of trip or they r just pervert trying to see if they can use the back door... For me it won't work under any condition, lekki olosho r becoming sometin else, no respect atall.

pocohantas:
Let me get you right. She wanted you to come down from your car, cross over the road, buy food for her and run back to the car with it?

Yes

My last 2 riders r just funny set of people, my rating have dropped so drastically, but its all good. The drag with the first was passing the toll gate when it was opened freely to all motorist, so she insist not to pay for toll gate and I made her understand, I'm meant to take what the app display. The second one went to mart to get some stuff, from dia to 2 different banks, then to get shawarma, as we r driving on she saw a local food vendor and ask me if I can cross over to get food for her... I turned to her in funny manner and ask what? She said food, I crack a smile and politely tell her no, I don't do such. I drive on and she saw another place and ask if I can help her get food nah, other drivers do help out, I'm wicked, dis dat, I'm going to get a star... It is well, this too shall pass

lin3r2:
Na person wey understand the perils of driving on a bad road na im fit talk like this. And probably her experience in bad roads with her car.

Sure boss, what really prompt me to post that was because of what I observed last week. New riders at lekki signed up on taxify for the sole purpose of using car as boat.

tojahh:
Baba I tire Jor. Load full my head. My mumsy funeral na next week end yet shi shi no dey. I dey wait una for fundraiser lead by Izzou

Oya nah, were izzou, make he come clear path, mama won go rest

I just drop off a rider, can tell she's one of the best on the platform, despite her panic not to engage in traffic, the ride was still worth it... If I try to use a particular route, she will warn me about the bad road, I'll let her know, I don't mind, I've seen worst, she will convince me not to and ask will take the smooth path. I drop her of beside her car and deep within I understand why they say you can't value what you don't have.

tojahh:
Baba I dey ask even if na afternoon. If you cannot tell me, its a bye bye from me. Na do one rider carry me go Afric Road for Surulere I nearly died! All my hub and linkages start to dey dance skelewu till today I never fix am. I no send anybody o. You see that familiarity with riders, I no get am. Once I call you, I greet you, next thing na *Where are we going please?* anything short of the answer I don end am there.

Boss u deh too quick vex oya!

tojahh:
We will not take it.

One mumu rider just change my morning for me jare. She just dey boss me up and down. I no fit shout, I told her we are ending the trip please. She think say I dey joke till I end am for her presence.
Shey she say she don late abi? Now make she start all over. I collect my 600 naira give her change waka.

She try wey she pay, easy boss... Only God knows what's happening this morning around ogba to Ojodu, the drought in ride no b here.

Eizenburg:
It was one yeye Friday that 3MB was completely blocked (I think a tanker spilled its content on Otedola bridge). Was inbound island around gbagada, with an Arab rider. Noticed the car ahead of me was being robbed and everybody was just minding their business (me included). Dude walked up to my car and was about to break my window with his gun, I jejely rolled down and he said “wey your phone”, the smell of weed on him was so strong and I decided it wasn’t worth it to argue with him. He turned to my rider and asked him the for his phone too, Guy say him no get phone, the nigga raised his gun to the window.. “you want make I shoot you”? Rider started to panic, that’s when my anger kicked in. I just told him say shebi him don collect one phone, make him Dey go now, say the guy no get phone true true. At that point, the people in the car ahead of me started shouting “ole ole”. Nigga crossed over to a waiting biked and zoomed off.

My rider asked what transpired between us and I told him. He was really appreciative, said I saved his life. He was really visibly shaken. Asked if he could smoke to calm his nerve, I obliged.

Dropped him off at Saka Tinubu, guy pleasantly surprised me with $100, say make we share the loss.

Sorry boss... I pray the mighty one keeps protecting us.

tojahh:


See how Pope come gentle. A whole Pope come be like Gentlelife

My Oga, wot am I supposed to do?

Eizenburg:
We all have our horror stories. Been robbed at 8:45pm, just by Dominos in Gbagada while on a trip

Sorry boss... Please how did it happen?

mrjaydee:
This is me whenever I accept a trip.

After greetings and all

Me: please which AREA are you going?
Rider: oh... I'm going to e.g surulere, vi, ikeja, festac, etc.
It's now left for you the driver to decline or continue.

( those 400naira trip riders like that Orniblockus guy)

Me: pls which area are you going?

Rider: why are u asking? Come and pick me and you will see where I'm going.

Me: Cancel the trip
Rider: No, you cancel?
Me: drives close, park my car, carry my phone and walk to the area and cancel after 5mins.

I see no reason why a ridee should be angry if you ask for the destination of the rider. Yellow taxi will always ask? Airport taxi will ask? So why cant I ask?

It is well

Eizenburg:
In my 3 months of ehailing, I’ve never asked a rider where he/she is going. Only requests I’ve had to cancel were rider no shows.

Congratulations! Have you been to Akute via Iju ishaga road? Redemption camp? Community road? Amukoko? Alaba along Old Ojo road? If not, I hope you get what you are looking for.

eherbal:
dem don get pope no be small

Ah no go lie, life ain't fair, we just have to push through.... 3 sat ago, I took a rider to festac and there is dis way my heart use to beat if I'm going dia, my heart will be turning on it own. Luckily I pick one Olosho going to one estate off community road along ago palace way, due to the bad road, she beg me to wait for like 40 mins cos Ikeja is her final destination and she's not sure if any driver will want to go through such road to pick her... Somehow I need that Ikeja trip, since I'm about to set destination trip and call it a day/week. Waited for 1hrs plus, right in front of me, another driver came to pick her, I called her and she ask me to go cos she is not sure when she will b ready, I patiently waited for her to board the ride, she saw me and didn't even bother to say hi , or should we talk about riders that will cancel after you've arrived. I've learn to accept all dis and I don't let them get to me, one thing I'll never do is to put myself in an unnecessary bad situation to please a rider.

donfortune48:
This one he's operating with a new account.
It's like someone has been banned oh!!

Pope please come and tell us how to dictate a banned somebory.

make una leave me o, they banned me because of him, I wasn't the one even having issue wit him... I just wasn't down with him saying someone will remain a driver forever. Right now I have a target to meet, I don't even have power for all this back and fort tug war, its a cold world out there, Every man have to watch out for his investment as long as you have you conscience intact, it makes no sense getting home at night and feel so useless cos u are working to uber/taxify standard, there's no standard in the first place, we all had our own share of bad and painful day on this job. I'll never forget that girl I carried from ikotun to magodo and she was shouting speed! Speed!! If the man leave the hotel I won't pay you, I even talk to the man when will got stuck in traffic and as well doing formula 1 on a free way, end trip saw 1k, the idiat throw 1k on me and say its her lucky day

Nitigriti said he will start trip and if its not favourable he won't go? I pray you don't jam rider or riders that senior you, that Ikorodu/Sango otta, you shall reach dia. You further say somethings around 8pm you don't do this or that, life is relative and will must learn to tolerate others, if yours start by 8pm (no one made the law for u), someone own starts by 6am. That's life, live and let's live

[quote author=GAZZUZZ post=83307295][/quote].

My lawyers r working on litigation as I type.

Soh because of Ornicus I was banned for d 1st time since 2006 dat I've been using Nairaland for almost a week, they locked me out, cold won finish me... Mandela try o, my respect for him just triple, 27yrs! Tojahh & Izzou no b soh...


To d mod dat ban me, after 13yrs of using Nairaland, I deserve some accolades, not ban, but no wahala, what comes around, goes around... Angel Garbu, Michael & I are d panel of judges on judgement day, just pray ur file no near my table, cos automatically you'll be the one to use your hand to judge yourself and u already know ur score.


*In kabaka's voice* I want to apologise to the honourable mod dat ban me, please don't try it again, if I type or do some things when I'm angry, its a mistake and not intentional, please forgive me, let us enjoy our political Nairaland in peace.

ornicus:
what a shame. and all that money on your education was wasted. they should have just truncated your education, made you a driver and saved that money. see as you are probably older than me but with the mind of a common thief.

its a real shame.

Bros u r getting too personal and its needless to say.

mrjaydee:
Na this issue we still dey talk about?

Mr Ornicus, on behalf of the driver we apologise for the inconvenience sir.

I'm trying read 100 post's I saw, please my Oga not crecking me

tojahh:
Hahaha as it is... I rather buy condoms than buy yam o.

I'll ask d woman if she won't b needing palm oil as well, I ain't buying shit for anyone.

Never knew surulere is dis dull, since morning

ojbanja:
Lobocool.

Cooladex:
The kind of insults one receives daily on this job ehn!
But uve developed a thick skin tho.

I got a request today at agungi, immediately she called she already sounded rude. And then she said her 2 housemates are following me to go pick her children at school and I bring them back. I said okay..

On our way back , this woman called me that can I buy a tuber of yam for her on the way, that she'll reimburse me my money when we come back..

I just jejely handed over 5h to one of the girls and she went to buy yam.
This woman called back and started raking/shouting for me, that she nva sent her houseful, that it's me.

I told her i cant buy yam, I don't know where they sell yams. She dropped the call on me Nd hissed.

After the trip, the woman gave me a 1start just because undid not buy a tuber of yam for her.

I'm just weak
..

I still deh wait for rider wey go send me odd message, I swear down... He/she no go fit give star by d time I finish using words to reset his/her brain. Nonsense

deedee44:
You may end up having to overhaul

I know boss, I've program my mind to buy either condenser, compressor or both... But for now I'll use this to make the money to fix and more.

ojbanja:
Fixed now. Was told it's gas.
I emptied the remaining.
Bought two bottles at #1500 each. So far it's been fine.
I was made to understand that it's not good to refill, unless u're sure of the last make of gas you put.
Thanks

Boss please which gas are u using @1500

franksam2009:
