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

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

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

Today, my boyfriend and I were driving around town in his car. To my surprise he took me out to lunch. As we were leaving, a girl walks up and asks if he had room for one more for a ride, sadly he only has two seats in his car. Guess who had to walk! FML

Today, my boyfriend's car broke down on the way to the gym, so he called his dad to give us a ride. On the way, his dad talked about how much he hates me and our relationship, as if I wasn’t sitting in the back seat directly behind them. FML

Today, I went on a date with a cute guy I met at a bookstore. He stood up and said he was leaving when I said that I didn't like 50 Shades of Grey, because he, "doesn't want to be near a bitch who doesn't know her place". He then told me to give him a ride home. 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.

And stuff like this is why they are making a female only ride sharing company.

Report this to Uber. My sister was in a situation where she got an Uber home after a party and the guy was aggressively hitting on her and even tried groping her. We reported it to Uber and he was fired immediately. The police couldn't do anything because they said it was her word against his, but Uber took it seriously at least. It's chilling to think what would have happened if she had stayed silent.

Please, report this to Uber. I drive for them, and though I am female and it probably doesn't mean as much... I apologize for your terrible experience. The driver should be held accountable for detouring off your route, holding you in the vehicle, and charging you extra for your ride. I hope he gets fired.

Uber can for sure be an "interesting" work experience. So far, I haven't had any aggressive passengers. There are a number of concerns about my safety. I do carry mace ... just as a precaution...

You need to file a report. Whether he was taking a long route for more money or not taking no for an answer what he did was horrifying and needs to be addressed immediately.
