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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got into an Uber, excited for the date I was going to. After about 20 minutes, I had a confused conversation with the driver, because it seemed like we were going to the wrong address. I checked the app, I'd booked a ride to my ex’s place out of habit. FML
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
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 suggested ordering Uber Eats and my new boyfriend looked at me like I was suggested kissing a warthog, then ranted about how he's "not paying extra to get wrong cold food handled by an illiterate brown guy." Okay then. 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’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
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
Today, my date made me pay him for picking me up, and taking me back home. FML
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

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.

Guys don't care if you have a bf. Next time say you used to be a guy.
