Today, my Uber driver tried to detour my trip home to take me on a date to Waffle House, even after I showed zero interest and talked about my boyfriend non-stop. FML

Calling it quits

Today, I was on the worst blind date ever, so I tried to secretly request an Uber to get out of there. My date then picked up his phone, receiving my request. Turns out he's an Uber driver and he was looking for a reason to get out of the date too. FML

Uber out of there

Today, my Tinder date arranged an Uber to pick her up before we had even finished our appetizers. She was so bored she couldn't be bothered to stay for the whole meal. FML

Today, I went on a date with a guy who seemed to be quite the gentleman. I was proven wrong when he told me to "shut it" during dinner, stiffed me on the bill, and then left me at the restaurant so he could get his own taxi home. FML

Just make it stop

Today, I’m stuck on a date with a man who got ready by washing his car instead of showering, is proud to never read newspapers because “they lie”, and thinks racist jokes count as witty conversation. I’d have left already but he drove me, there’s no bus stop nearby, and no Ubers in the area. FML

Today, I went on a date to the movies with this guy I kinda like. When he was driving me home, he asked me to be his girlfriend; I said I couldn’t because it was really bad timing. He kicked me out of the car, called me an asshole, and made me walk home. FML

Vent away

By GregIsGreg - 10/09/2024 14:00 - United States

Today, I was getting into a Uber after a long day at work. I opened the door, sat down, and started venting to the driver about my horrible day. Five minutes in, I realized I had climbed into a random stranger’s car. He didn’t even tell me; he just let me complain. FML

Names and faces

Today, I got into an Uber, said, “Hey! How’ve you been?” to the driver, thinking he was a friend of mine. The guy suspiciously replied, “Uh, I think we’ve never met,” and we both sat in uncomfortable silence for the rest of the ride. FML

Today, after many attempts at getting my girlfriend to ride the bus to see me rather than taking Uber, she finally did. She ended up meeting a man who convinced her that she should break up with me. She listened. FML

Today, while working as an Uber driver, I asked my passenger for directions and she didn’t know. She was going to her own house. FML

Put it in your review or send a complaint to Uber and they'll probably warn him. If he's been warned before he might e removed as a driver.

People who have been raised on unfortunately true horror stories of women being attacked, both physically and sexually after eating a meal with men who have this deranged idea that buying a woman a meal means they are somehow entitled to have sex with the woman.

OP, ask him for the money per your Waffle House dinner (+ tip) in advance right there in the cab then pay what you owe him - with-OUT a (monetary) tip in return! :-)

Tried to as in was trying to talk you into saying yet? Or tried to as in took you to a location that was not your request? If it's the latter, call the police and report the driver for harassment (at the least) if not kidnapping.

Damn, it'd be scary to be in a car with someone who won't take no for an answer. I would have gotten out at a traffic light and taken the fee then reported. You might not be the first and if you don't report it you definitely won't be the last.

It's stuff like this why we wear fake engagement rings and ignore you because being polite and letting you down easy or giving simple hints never works or they just get ignored or both.

Girl says: "My boyfriend blah blah blah. Blah blah my boyfriend blah blah.." Translation to guy language: "One guy values me, so I have proof that I have worth. I am desirable only because one guy thinks so."
