If maybe we all call a spade, a spade, this world would be a better place.

What he did was fraud
He scammed his rider
He stole from him

Him starting the trip was not the issue. He drove down to Berger, parked and negotiated with four different riders and carried them all the way to Ogba before he ended the trip...and to you, that's not fraudulent, but a moment of madness

If it was a rider now, I can imagine how here would be turned upside down.

Or maybe those riders scamming drivers are also having moments of madness too

chinyce:


Just call the rider guy back and refund him his money with apology. Settle out of uber court. This apps company are not driver friendly. Especially if driver was first to report. And write to u er as quickly as possible to clear your name before the rider rubbishes it.

nwizu042:

This is all shade of wrong.. I do not support this at all. You didn’t have to do that.. shei cancellation fee no do you?

No wonder some people believe drivers on nairaland are scammers and thieves..

And you even wrote it up here. The internet!!
SMH for you.

E no finish here o.
Just so you know...

Felicity0001:


This is for everyone.

First, I started by admitting to the wrong did.

I was just furious probably because of some bad ride previously experienced. I called this guy twice and took time to explain to him and affirmed him he don't be charged should he cancel I even went further to let him know his destination is off my way cause of curfew (inside Berger). Those of you saying it's wickedness, who is more wicked after all these explanation I gave to him. If police sieze my car what would I say to my partner?? Ok I should give police all the money I've worked all week long abi

I've had some bad experiences like this that didn't turn out well for me at the end of the day. Yes you win some and lose some, but do I have to always be at yhe loosing end all the time? I've done about 8km PU distance just because rider refused to cancel in which my account has bewn flagged for h8gh cancellation.

Now, my balance as at yesterday was above -N15k so cancelling a card trip would have put my account in a very high risk of being blocked. My account was suspended on Wednesday last week s8mply because a rider cancelled after I'd arrived and was charged. Uber said it was because my cancellation rate was above 7%. Let me stop here. So, All of these put together was why I took that decision to start the trip without the guy.

Well, as I woke up this morning I don forget and my conscience has prinked me and I sent him a text apologising and asking for his acct details to trx back his money. If him like make him send if him like make him no send. Me I don move on.

Thank God I eat the N7500 bonus after completing 32trips for the week so my balance is now reduced to about 3k.

Omooshodi thanks jor...na only I understand well but that doenst mean we r bad people.

Bad people don't have a conscience and I'm not a hypocrite who only share the good experience like every other guy here if I do good I don't say it but I come out bold to say all the bad I think I may have done that's felicity0001 for you all. And in any case it goes I make sure never regret my actions.

I somehow understands how the app works. Uber charges if a rider cancels after five minutes, only if the driver was on his way to pick up, he doesn't necessarily have to arrive at pickup before you can get charged after five minutes. If the driver is not moving at all, the rider will not be charged for cancellation after five minutes, very unlikely. And if the driver is heading to a different direction from the point of pickup and rider cancels after five minutes, he may likely not get charged also.

Last week, I was going to pick up someone at Ikoyi, I figured that I will be stuck in an endless traffic after dropping him off at Osborne Forshore, a short trip, I had to cancel it myself because I was already heading towards his direction. I know he would have been charged if I asked him to cancel. To avoid that, I canceled it myself and moved on.

Usually if I'm not going like that, I will ask riders to cancel and refund them immediately. If am not interested in the trip, I still refund them if I didn't ask them to cancel. Uber removed the refund rider part from my app long ago . I refund a lot, just don't like taking what I didn't work for unnecessarily. I only charge for cancellations that I feel are justified, if a rider doesn't show, stubbornly refuses to cancel at the right time and make me drive to pickup.

As for Felicity, since Uber has adjusted the fare and didn't send you a message or block your account, I think the matter is settled for now. I don't really judge people or get too critical about their actions, we are all humans and we all have our moments of madness. It's not a fraudulent act like some folks here are making it seem even though what you did cannot be justified. You just need to be careful going forward. This is already in your record and may lead to an outright ban if this happens again in the nearest future. No need of reaching out to the guy since he has been refunded and Uber is already aware of the matter. Just my two cents though.

Babadee1900:
RadAutoworks... You can visit them for diagnosis and go fix somewhere else if you can’t afford their service charge (no offense pls).

Diagnosis is less than 3k

sportFX:


Good thing you have apologized, just stop trying to justify stealing.

OmoOshodi:
mr man on top wetin?.. are you 1nsane?....you are indeed a r.etarded fellow......why you carry another person matter put for head....where were you when I first told him he was wrong?...smoke covered your brain abi?....for doing absolutely nothing I picked a rider sometimes ago when I used to drive on Uber platform and all was fine...after the 2hours trip my 2,600 was adjusted to zero and Uber said I started the trip without the rider....i called the rider she claimed she never reported anything that she even gave me 5star...second day my account was blocked(with 12k + payment) without any prior warning ever before of any misdeeds.....i challenged the issue ..uber claimed it was an error from them that they with return my account....they later changed it to "I cancelled a lot"... That my account suspended for 1month....lo and behold till today after over 1 year Uber never returned my hard earned money nor the account(someone from Uber office later told me the woman accepted the readjustment and never returned the message of whether she embarked on the trip or not)is that fair?....Guys life is not fair and balance....however you see it...just face it and never judge anybody.......as for you sportFX...it shall not be welll with you and your entire family....sudden death shall
find you before the end of this year.....you are a bastard.....alayebaje and who ever quote me to judge me again....you share the curse with sportFX....nonsense

Felicity0001:
I just did something very bad now but if I can handle it to the very last I won't regret it all.

After my last post I got a trip to magodo via set destination to Abule-Egba. 1.5km to drop off another request came in 6.3km (had I known I wouldnt have picked it.

Rider didnt call till I droppes of and time was 9:51pm already. Dropped off and the. GMap says 3.8km to pickup ETA 18min; 10:03pm.

Put a call through to riderer.

Me: hi, gudevening pls where you going to pls?
R: Berger
M: pls kindly req another ride it's off my path
R: Okay

I thought this guy waa gonna cancel but he didn't.

I calles him again.

M: pls sir you still haven't cancelled.
R: I'll be charged you cancel.
Me: you still have time to cancel without being charged pls kindly cancel so I can get a ride towards my destination.
R: Okay.

Guy still refused to cancel.

I then drove down to pu, waited for about 6min could see it was a card trip na there devil come enter my Godly heart and I said let me teach this guy a hard lesson since you want to spoil my own make me help you spoil your own too.

I started trip, got to Berger did solo 4passengers to ogba. I then decided to end trip at excellent hotel.

As I reach out the stupid guy sent me a textbwithin.

How do I report to uber now is what I'm trying to think now.

If you a good and constructive lie I can give to uber pls help me out.

sportFX:

All I see is a frustrated human, continue with your crime, I'll visit you in kirikri

radautoworks:


But... But... Our service charge is low. It's the parts some people find high but that's because they are original and we don't mind people bringing their own parts!

Babadee1900:
Please don’t get me wrong ma. Some people are used to the Kazeem way and may find it a bit hard to pay 5k per hour. Let’s say a repair will take upto 3/4 hours that’s 15-20k on service charge alone.

The last time I was at Oyingbo to fix steering rack and some other stuffs, the guy started working on my car around 9am, he finished around 3pm, that’s about 6hours, I only paid 8k for workmanship.

Good thing about your place is that it won’t take that long to have everything I did there done. You have enough hands and power tools to make the job easy. Might not even be upto two hours if all the parts are readily available.

OmoOshodi:
but man you said the trip was Card trip and it has been adjusted back to zero naira.......then why are you saying..you will call the guy to refund his money......are economizing some things here

No comment on this matter again jor. Let me just continue to enjoy the gbos gbas i created.

All of those calling me a thief you all are the greatest thieves only that you havent gotten the opportunity yet. Find yourself in my place and see how worse you'd done.

radautoworks:


Ah, I see the misunderstanding. The hours is not based on how long we actually take. It's on how long the job should take an average competent technician. So if the industry standard is 3 hours and for some reason we take 10, you only pay for 3. Time to get parts etc is not charged to customer. For example, give me year and model for your car and I'll tell you how long it should take to do the steering rack.

I was at one event center to pick up a rider. 
Rider turned out to be the chef for the owambe. Rider wants to pack all her loads into my car. Even gas cylinder and that big iron burner that they use for those big big pots. I was so furious  that I wanted to react and tell her that I'm not going but the little asshole in me whispered and gave me an idea of what to do.
So I allowed her with the help of two of her boys to load their stuffs inside my trunk and the remaining one at the back seat to the extent that there was only a space for just one person at the back. Even the little space would not contain one person comfortably.

As if that was not enough, madam chef told one of the boys to lap the other one. Me was just standing by the side watching them do their thing because I already knew what I wanted to do.
At that point, my rear bumper was about to kiss the ground.

Chef : Oga we are ready come and start the trip.
Me : I'm not going again because of too much loads.
Chef : But it was a driver like you that brought us here with all these loads. 
Me : No vex. I no know say the loads plenty like this.  
Chef : So why did you allow us to take the time and pain to load and now you want us to unload everything ?   
Me : No vex.  
They started unloading... me return to my watching position until they were done.
As them suffer me, make me burn fuel to come do the work of a truck, nothing do me if I make them sweat small.
The thunder wey go fire that driver wey carry all those loads still dey do press up for national stadium.

R. Place let me get fruit at the other side
M. Drove and pack beside the round about, thinking it was a quick buy (She alighted to get all d fruits in africa)

She got into the car for me to start propelling.

R. Please enter this marsha car park, I need to get some tin
M. Straight face, temptated to talk, but remind myself, it will b better to get home in one peace, already pick a battle date with one rider today

She came back after some mins and I zoom to take a turn just after doing that to Ogunlana


R. Please park, I need to get groundnut here
M. Jesus! Please just take this wheel

Felicity Seriously?

E shock you?

Felicity0001:

I will contest it n notin will happen. Yes its wrong but do you know how painful it is when someone blocks you from getting to your goal? Even after you've pleaded to them for mercy?

Uber has adjusted the trip already to 0:0 naira just now but I won't respond yet till after 48hrs b4 I'll respond.

People should know that the gentle and quiet man beside them is not just quiet nor gentle but more mad than them Some times.
