So ideally when is the best maximum time after the trip

Babadee1900:
Funny thing is I do condone these attitudes from girls at least to some extent but when A guy try to act like a b*tvh, I am always quick to react. As in once’s you do or talk like werey I go give you back as e they hot.

I remember one night like that I was parked close to Moist Beach Oniru, a request came in then I called the rider to ask if he/she was already outside the beach or will need me to come inside.

Me: Hi.....

Rider: *loud music playing* Yen yen yen okoto meow meow

Me: Hello hello I can’t hear you

Rider: Alaye la eti e, she eti e di ni (Mr man open your ears, are you deaf)

Me: Iya laya e ni eti e di (No interpretation)

My experience just now.
I carried this young lady along admiralty road she’s heading to Chevy view.
On our way, I overhead her heat arguments that the boy didn’t pay blablabla.
Ok! I reached the final destination a house beside zazari hotel naso I hear oga park here what’s your account.
Me: okay I’m using Stanbic IBTC but please I have to see the receipt and debit alert before leaving here is that okay?
Lady: ok I’m here no problem
Lady: oga have tried it the thing no go be like say network no good.
Me: but you didn’t asked for my account details?
Lady: don’t worry have got to go inside I’ll come back with money
Me: I remembered a Uber driver they duped with same trick on same spot I had to gave the guy 2k out of 7200 they chopped him. Naso I told her politely ‘baby girl please you can’t go inside or otherwise drop your phone to your security since you said it’s your house then I’ll wait for you’
Lady: what’s this rubbish why will I dropped my phone will I run will i this will I that.
Me: don’t let me take it up with you. With the statements you’re altering. Please drop your phone to him... before I know it with her voice many people don gather.
Oga kilo happen wetting happen you park for road at least clear. Naso I told them what happened. People begin talk their stories and all the securities started saying their part how those girls used to dupe drivers and drivers will hold security responsible.
To cut the long story short, las las the lady no get shishi. See shame na zazari hotel manager bail her out. I wish everybody safe in good health. May god continue to be with us and protect us all.

Got a uber req few minutes back somewhere around jibowu yaba area. Drove down to PU. Placed a call through rider since she's not reading her app message.

Rider: where r u
Me: Im outside
Rider: ok I'm coming out.

She called back after about 2min.
Rider: where r u na I can't see you, didn't you use you map.
Me: I've been here since, ok look your left and to ghost ht if you can see me my hazard light is on now.
Rider: I can't see still, you map is supposed to bring you to No 31 na aee you sure you're here?
Me: No number on your req just your street name or isn't it shoyinka street?
Yes she affirmed.
Rider: ok ask someone of No31 or ahould I cancel?

Me in my mind I just smile, b like dis one no mnow say her 5min grace don ellaps abi she think say na bolt?.

I started my engine, asked some guys around even though I hate doing that. They directed me. Turned and on my hazard light than called her this time.

She hugged her bf then opens the back door and entered.

Rider: you just arrived self and you said you've been here.

Me: what do you mean?
Rider:...still talking
Me: do you want to continue on this ride?
Rider: I should cancel?
Me: i wouldnt mind:
Rider: then you'll give me my N400

At this time her bf then came in,
Whats happening any issue?
Gf: ahe said he wants to cancel, but he will give me my N400.

As they where discussing me don cancel already.
Me: you can come down now, I just canceled.

The bf resounded it to her, he has cancel.

They closed my door I just zoomed off.

I no get time for bad riders that will end up rating me low at all it better I cancel.

Rubbish things

Coronavirus is finally here. Our government have succeeded in their wish to see this disease come in full swimg. One case from UK and several other suspected cases that are exhibiting symptoms similar to this deadly virus. This is no fake News, mind you.

I downed tools on uber a week ago, having embarked on my 2019 annual leave because I needed to rest. Plan working on uber tomorrow to avoid boredom and make a few more quid since I still have five weeks to go before I go back to work. As it is now, I have to suspend that plan of doing uber because of Coronavirus.

If you are still courageous enough to be on the pedal, you have to be extra careful out there. Take all necessary precautions. Island is where these people usually come to from oversees. Be extra careful and avoid physical contacts with riders, especially these ones with funny and disjointed accents, They may just have arrived from a coronavirus infested country. A stitch in time, saves nine.

pope191:


see para, just easy boss... You remind me of two guys I pick from surulere going to marina today. While I'm abt to approach Marsha round abt, dia was traffic so I was taking my time not to hit or allow anyone to hit me. The one at back just gave me that husky area boi voice "alaye no deh drive slow 4 steering". I didn't know what came over me, I clear well, turn back and gaze at the guy for like a min with d hoodie he put on inside dis hot sun, I didn't say a word, I just gave him dis icily look like I can fling u out of dis car. My guy turned to gentlife thro out the trip, while his friend apologise and we were cool chatting till we got to marina

Felicity0001:

This is a uber trip na... Report to uber abeg them get muscle to fight the fight pass us. She might complain to uber you exposed her contact on SM n you may be blocked.

I'm sure you don't want that.

1daboi:

Monkeyprick:


You packed a lot of insult in those little words and that's very rude of you.
He shared his experience, you either offer your words of encouragement or read it and pass.
He didn't ask you to bail him out to something, so why would you call him out?
I don't understand these mofos that come on the thread because Airtime were shared .

luxy44:


Another frustrated soul

luxy44:


If uber started this way, you wouldn't be on the platform today to see the little you are making to feed your family. Don't take your frustration to the office.

Monkeyprick:



I can't swallow the urge to laugh.
Come off it Boy! I'm not a frustrated soul like you claimed ,in fact I am doing much better than you'll ever do in 10 years. Just quit throwing insults around here and get a life.

confusedworld17:
You don't have any dilemma. Just hold onto the cash that you want to transfer to bolt, be using it to sort your self out until equation balance.
Uber/Bolt are now strongly encouraging card trips in order to reduce the spread of corona virus, so expect more card trips. A win win for all.

Gentlelife50:

Lol, everybody is frustrated. Your own is even worse because it can be seen all over you.

I can never be a taxi driver. I hate mocking people

I know this moniker na

You always derive orgasm in bashing taxi drivers once in a blue moon

Happy new year.

If we ask you what you do for a living now, you'll disappear


PS: You edited the "I can never be a taxi driver"

Why na?

pharod:


Drivers are made to go for training. But any uncouth human being with a false sense of entitlement can download the app and request. But in the midst of all those ignorant people, there are a few cultured and well mannered people.

I once picked up a guy at the airport heading to Obanikoro to pick his wife and from there to Magboro on 3.1 surge... The guy was a perfect gentleman but his wife was the exact opposite but I like the way he always tried to correct her. At a time he told her plainly that, "You don't tell a man how to drive his car. How many times have you gone to the cockpit and start shouting at the pilot because of ANY issue at all? This driver can decide to stop us anywhere and end the trip, turn and go home, what will you do then? . And the time was 10pm then.
The woman immediately became friendly, and even tipped me afterwards.
I don't know if it's just Nigerians but for some reason I am yet to understand, some people are looking for who to control even if it's for a few minutes..

nitigriti:

Great going guys!

I'm thinking we will benefit from a different perspective to situations like this.

Whenever I receive a trip request, I always call the rider immediately and confirm the pick up location - street address and number. It saves me a lot of stress and helps inform decisions I need to make - like should I go or not go?

When I've confirmed the rider's pick up location, I then give the rider my estimated time of arrival. If my ETA will be more than 5 minutes, I plead with the rider to please be patient; that I'm definitely coming.

All of these would have taken just a 60 second call; but a lot of misunderstandings would have been avoided.

Only then will I start driving to the pick up point.

radautoworks:

A second time? Was the first one tokunbo or new? And how much was each one?

Babadee1900:
You could have handled this better though but I understand that some of these girls can be annoying and need schooling when necessary.

I usually find it annoying when I call a rider to confirm pick up address and they tell me ‘oga use your map’. I do not have any issue using my map but 5/10 of these times it’s always wrong. I don’t understand why there will be five estates inside ONE estate...like wtf!

So on Sunday I was on freedom way cruising when I got a request. Rider address was showing Idado Street, which means I have to go through the Idado market to get to her but my mind told me it’s not right. Correct location is inside the Idado Estate.

Just to confirm I called her, asked if it’s Idado Street, that will I pass through the mfm church, next thing I heard was oga use your map.

I followed Bolts navigation through the market then I saw plenty water. Had to call her again to tell her I have followed the map and I am in the market, she was now saying No No No you shouldn’t have passed through the market yen yen yen.

Well I found my way back to the right place.

Got to her place, she was already waiting outside, I didn’t waste time before I start the trip. After all I’m all about the money.

.....same girl that was forming for me on phone now told me to make sure I save her number and she’s hoping that I’m not one of those guys that used to form loyal boyfriend oooo. I just laughed and continued moving Lagos

Sammylee22:
Good morning to the house.
Please if you pick a rider to a destination and getting to the destination and the rider wants you to take him back to the pick up location, Will it be calculated automatically by Uber/bolt after the whole trip?
