PSA+: Uber drivers get fired once they drop below a 4.5-4.7 Don't remember exactly. Do the same for them (and Lyft!) please
Car smells bad or they were bad at navigating? Fuck it, 5 stars. They were racist, creeping on women they drove past, or bragged about being deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq? I give them a 1 star and report them to Uber/Lyft for a made up reason
Agree with this, but I'll also give a low rating if the person drives very dangerously. I've been on a couple Lyft rides where I've legitimately feared for my life at some points.
Yeah I hate the concept of Lyft/Uber but in my experience cabs provide similar or worse service for like 4x the price, so I just tip heavily and in cash whenever I use a rideshare in an attempt to cancel out some of the evil. I'd much rather have somebody driving 5 under the limit and I get to my destination a few minutes later than I'd hoped than somebody weaving in and out of traffic, blowing stop signs, and nearly running down pedestrians in crosswalks.
Also, hear them out when they start talking about unhinged conspiracy theories. It costs you nothing, makes your driver happy and gives you a funny story to share with your friends.
My last Uber driver told me we'd reaches the apex of human technology three times already but we lost it all due to human arrogance. My friend who was riding with me thanked me for handling the small talk and of course I took the praise, but I actually loved every second of that conversation. At least the topic is more interesting than the weather or what someone does for work.
My favorite Uber ride was when I was drunk as shit sitting up front with the driver and him going on a full on endorsement for drinking his own piss. I had just enough composure to not laugh at it all and keep asking follow up questions

Heroes really do exist
I had an uber driver almost get into a head-on collision. Still gave five stars.

I think that’s pretty reasonable honestly. Cars are dangerous enough as it is.

I did this and it went to a Jews controlling the world conspiracy theory and then praising Elon's Twitter moves of uncensoring white supremacists lol
The two genders of conspiracy theory
Sometimes you get lucky and get one of the alien guys, but there's always the chance it will loop right back to Jews in space.
