| We are big uber people in our house. My husband’s office and kid’s school is all within a mile of each other, so we opted to be a one car family. It’s almost never a problem, and using Uber daily is generally less expensive than having a second car with insurance and gas etc. When you’re raising three tiny humans, you find the ways to save. (My husband actually wrote a whole post about this a year or two ago you can read HERE).
Well, the thing with taking Uber a lot is that you kind of depend on that score staying high. Oh what? Back track… yes people we score the Uber drivers, but guess what they score you right back. I didn’t even realize the judgment of some random person who took me for a 10 minute drive could impact me so deeply, until I saw my score. I’m at a loss. I thought I was charming. Apparently- this is not the case. [Find out your uber score HERE Is how]
Why uber drivers? What did I ever do to you? I don’t smell, I come into the car give my polite “hello, how are you?” and then I just keep to myself. I take the chance to read some news, check Instagram, online shop. Is that where I offend? Cut a girl some slack! Typically I’m in the car with three kids who are in some sort of competition to see who can say “Mom” the most. Can’t a girl, just peruse the new arrivals at Zara without getting slammed with a shitty rating.
If the uber drivers think I’m bad when sober and quiet, you wouldn’t believe the things I do when I’ve had too much to drink. But you see, this Uber, this is why I’m confused. My non-ladylike borderline obnoxious behavior only comes when I’m in the Uber under my husband’s account and he is a 4.85. What gives!
I’ve thrown up, talked politics, talked bad about other Uber drivers (gasp! not that I regret that anymore), and sang Wilson Phillips “Hold On” at the top of my lungs, and his rating is higher than mine.
I had this conversation with an Uber driver recently, because I wanted to understand. The dude told me he almost didn’t pick me up because my score was so low. To quote the man “What did you do to these drivers because it takes a lot to give a bad review.” Needless to say I begged him for 5.0 to help boost me, and in hindsight that mofo probably demolished me.
To this man and all Uber drivers I say- I have no clue how I offend your sensibilities so deeply and I make no apologies.
I’m going to do everything I can do to come after my husband’s rating this weekend. Even if it means I have to have a ton of drinks to do it.
