I'm going to work on this. Who's driving? Any hope out there?

Don't get me wrong, riders do abuse wait times but if one apologizes then it obviously wasn't intentional.

Those celebrities are not as rich as you think. You will be surprised to know you are better off than some of them

pope191:


You can never tell what a presumed wealthy man face, until u walk a day in their shoes. I have a man around me that we talk time to time. He will just shake is head and I'll b like sir what's the matter? The text I just receive wants money, I have like 4 already. At the end of the day, he will ask me, do u want anything me with straight face, Oga! I won't like to add to ur problem. He told me coming home is practically coming to solve people problems, there is no place he go, they expect money and this stuff is tiring, most time I have to b the one to do stuffs for him, else he will b spending more. I hate when folks hide their whatsapp status, but nah too much beggy beggy deh cos em.

What is he/she doing in an undesirable place in the first place? This thing is not rocket science, whenever a rider request a trio and a driver accept, you as a rider will see the location of driver on your app too. You can track your driver, to know the time he will get to ur pickup. The app offers you a waiting time of 5mins, I can give you additional 5mins, but anything after this gets on my nerve.

It’s raining and there is no surge in Lekki phase 1 , I’d rather stay put than drive through those Lekki lagoons for stipends.
Meanwhile make I drop this gist here

Yesterday I started the hustle (I started very late though) with a resolution that no matter how tempting an order to mainland is I wouldn’t take it, in the process and amidst other blacklisted destinations my cancellation rate shoot up to 65%. Then I said to myself I have to stop canceling orders now

Few minutes later a request came in, not far from where I parked. Destination Lekki phase1, pick up Cmart admiralty way.

Just before heading to pick up, I called rider I’m outside already (don’t want her delaying me for long for a ride of #500) she said she’ll join me in a minute. Drove down to pick up, still no sign of rider. 5 minutes later I called again,
Rider: I’m checking out now I’ll be with you shortly (I was already fuming but I been no wan spoil my gentleman, so I kept it cool)

10 minutes later I called again
Rider: I don’t know why this guy is this slow, but I’m next on the queue, will be out soon
5 minutes later still no sign of rider

A thought of zooming off in anger crossed my mind, but then I thought would she really understand the gravity of what she did if I zoomed off? So I made sure my doors was on lock and waited till this daughter of eve came out

Some minutes later, Saw her through my rare mirror checking out my plate for confirmation, then she proceeded to open the back door but oops! It’s locked
Came a little forward to the passenger side window to knock, I looked at her with a smiling face and wind down a bit. These were my exact words to her
‘’Oh! You’re finally out (she said sorry bla bla bla....please your door is locked) you see that wait wey you been no wan wait, you go wait am. You wasted my time but it’s fine (she said but I’ve apologized now) It will just be nice to give you a doze of your own medicine’’
Put my gear in reverse and screed off ( saw her standing with her shopping bags, looking at the car in awe through my side mirror)

davit:
There is now we can argue this. Whenever a rider is making a request, the ETA always shows. So no excuse. Riders should be available for pick up max 5 mins after driver has arrived. I had same annoying experience 2 days ago. It was my first trip. Got a request from Osapa. Rider was going to Obalende. I was even rushing to get there being indriver. Rider called and I told her I should be available in 4 mins time. I called her to let know I was around after using the entrance code. 10 mins after I called again, she told me THEY were coming. I needed the trip cos I had something to do in that area. I waited for another 15 mins and called her, same story. In all, I waited for more than 45 mins this idiot didn't show. I had to cancel trip and let Indriver take the Commission for a trip that didn't happen. I actually didn't click on Arrive at the PU, so twas a loss. 2 mins after I left, the idiot called asking me where I was. I painstakingly cursed her for wasting my precious time. She was not even angry. Still asking me to come pick them. I told her to go order Bolt. The surge don rise wella by then.
See, most of our female riders are terrible in terms of keeping drivers waiting. To pick request at night these days on Indriver dey hard me. Reason being that the rider may not show and if you cancel, app will deduct the commission, though they claim it will be refunded after 30 days. Imagine, a whole 30 days. I presently have about 6k in the refund account. It is just pure evil to make a request and not be readily available when the driver arrives.

yesso na me oo

You are blessed with a really good memory.
The car has been really good really good sha.
Though as am talking like this,
I need to get a new engine for it cus the previous owner didnt really take care of it but the body is still toks standard.
The engine is still pulling and very strong,
Though its shorting oil n smoking and i dont have the patience to work on it hence i wanna replace.
I wanted selling it of to get another naija used but people adviced that i just change the engine considering the prices of cars now.
So that's it guys.
The car has been really good oo.
I never visit mech workshop for over 1 month now and this is a car i drive daily for ehailing.
Since am not in lagos.
I will be traveling with the car to aba to do the engine swap hopefully by next month.

PS. I heard that direct japan 1zz is 320k.
How true is this biko

SokizzRaven:


For a moment in between, I actually thought of picking her but I was really mad, mad at the fact that she wasn’t ready and yet she placed an order. More so, If I had picked her it would have ended in bad rating cause I know how crazy I can get with words at times

CheerfulGiver:
So far so good in 11 days..

Nobi for naija.
Olosho go book you make you dey ground dey wait, even before she enter bathroom to bath. And 90% of the times, they always say sorry; when their act was intentional.

When I was staying in egbeda, I came out 5:30am one morning, hoping to get Bolt's morning bonus. Got a request inside Gowon Estate around 5:45am, (rider was going to Ilupeju) called rider to let her know that I was 4mins away and she said no problem, that she's about coming down.

I drove to pickup, swipe arrived and waited for 5mins, but rider ain't out yet. I called and she said she's about coming down now, that she was packing her food flask. I got relived, hoping that she'll be out in a minute or less.

Waited for 10mins of paid waiting but rider haven't come out. I called again. She said sorry but she's just about locking her door now.

20mins paid waiting, this lady is not yet out. I called again. She apologized again and said she's just locking the door again, that I'll see her now.

(the time was already 6:15am and I was already fuming cos I know I can't chase the bonus again and I can't cancel, having the belief from each of the calls that she's done already. So no need to cancel since she's almost out).

38mins paid waiting I didn't see her. I decided to give her a final call before I cancel. Then I saw her approaching the car.
I expected her to apologize immediately, but she rather greeted me, dropped her bag at the back seat, said she's coming and went back inside. Telling me that she forgot something inside.

I was quite pained at this point cos I've lost 50mins already and decided not to proceed with the trip anymore, turned on my Uber app, got a request immediately to FMC Ebute Metta.

Note: It was usually difficult to get request early morning in egbeda that time, there are days I'll come out 5am and wait till 7:30am without a single request then. Most of the trips you'll even get will be going to dead destinations (abulegba, Lasu, Ikotun, Ipaja). The best I'll get is Ikeja. So I didn't want to lose this one that'll take me to civilization.

I waited for her to come back, got into the car, yet no apology from her. I just politely told her that I can't proceed with the trip anymore. She got angry. Asking me why I allowed her to stress herself to come out before telling her. I said nothing and allowed her to take her things and went back to her apartment before I proceeded to pickup my Uber rider.

tunlapapa:


She won't understand since she is not in your shoes.

Yesterday, while still on a trip, I got a waiting request (8.57 am) from my from drop off location (Idado estate) which was still 10 min away ( jakande traffic lights). The rider cancelled immediately but it was painful because it was a 1.8 trip.

The same request came back with 1.2 but didn't accept. I got to the estate 9.10 am and the same request came back with 1.8 (happy again).

A guy came out after waiting for 5 mins that the rider is coming but I kept my cool since it was a surge trip.
In all, the rider came out 9.30am after waiting for 20 mins at his location. He came out as if he finished his bath not quite long but has been requesting since the time (8.57am) i got his first request.

In essence, people are abusing that privilege, period!

The first image shows the time of the second request but he came out 9.30, while the second image was the first request which was cancelled.

Baba...if it's in ur control, u know u will finish in d said time...not when it's not in ur control, like waiting in line to be attended to. She knows she will definitely not be ready before the driver arrives.
