Today, my brother got a job as an Uber driver. Now, whenever I need a ride from him, he insists I pay him money through the app. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, in addition to having to deal with chronic pain that keeps me from driving for more than 10 minutes, I now have to deal with my brother who thinks I'm not paying him enough for taking me to school 2 days a week, when he does the journeys for himself anyway. FML
Today, after I just finished a 16-hour double shift, my brother asked me to ride with him to do an Instacart. While delivering these people’s groceries, his car overheated and oil light came on. He had no money, so I had to fix and pay for the parts. FML
Today, I took a taxi ride with my friends. As we were getting out, I paid the taxi driver. With a grin, he drove away fast. It turns out my friend had already paid. FML
Today, as usual, I work nights and sleep during the day. I found out that my brother uses my car and never puts gas in it when he called me for the first time to actually ask me if he could borrow my car, and also to lend him $20 to put gas in it. FML
Today, while at work at a new job, my brother comes and takes my car. Along with all my money, my phone, and whatever else I had in my purse. His message to me through one of my co-workers was "walk home." FML
Today, a guy who'd never used ride-share before asked for help at the airport. I thought we hadn't figured it out yet, so I canceled mine, which doubled my fare when I ordered it a minute later because we'd actually had figured it out. FML
Today, I volunteered to be my brother's designated driver. I told him throughout the night that I wasn't drinking, but he ended up leaving me at the bar and going to his friend's house in a cab for more drinks, taking my keys along with him. FML
Today, my brother offered me $20 to practice his kissing on me for his date later this evening. FML
Today, my brother finally paid me the $60 he owed me. I later found out that he'd stolen those $60 from my wallet. FML
Today, I returned home from a 2-day trip. Before I left, I told my brother to move my car across the street when the street cleaner passes by. Turns out, he used all my gas and got so wasted he forgot to move my car. I got a big ticket that he said he'd pay for. He's unemployed and lives off me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The only reason he wants you to pay through the app is so he can look better as an Über driver. Help your bro out.

Drive him around sometimes and have him pay you as well...

Report him to his insurance company and then neither of you will have rides as very few insure Uber.. Or if they do he won't be able to afford it.. ;-)

Hey if he wants to pay taxes on the gas money you give him, that's his problem, right? But if he's being a dick about it, next time he calls looking for a favour from you, tell him you're now a consultant and you charge by the hour, or part thereof, and insist on upfront payment. In his defence though, if that's his way of earning a living, and you ask for a ride in his chosen working hours, then he probably feels you're costing him paid work if he doesn't charge you.

He gotta make that money one way or another, so you really can't blame him

If you are often having him take you places you should pay him. If you're not needing rides often then he should just take you, but I really can't blame him for charging if you do it all the time. Don't be a mooch.

That's how ads work, they go based on what you've been on, or are currently on.

See how this fella is ripping of his family with uber? You can do so too. Join now and destroy your calm family for some not so quick bucks.

Help a brother out.

You would most likely be taking him away from a paying job to drive you around, so I don't see what's wrong with paying him, especially if it's something he does for you all the time, maybe not full Über price since you're family, but at least gas money...

@17 Your joke was bad and you should feel bad.
