izzou:


Oh there is a very clear relationship sir.

Me: I'm sorry I can't fix your car today
You: But that's why you're a mechanic

Me: I'm sorry I can't fix your leaking pipe today
You: But that's why you're a plumber

I can go on and on, but I don't see the insult in that statement. And then calling her a prostitute makes the matter worse.

But then..... What do I know

izzou:


Nobody is blaming the driver for rejecting her trip.... That's not the issue

The issue was how she called him a TAXI DRIVER and he responded by calling her a PROSTITUTE

radautoworks:


Wait... Are we.. Are we seeing things similarly...

Maybe

But the driver knows best

pocohantas:


What rubbish is this one talking about. Living up to your username or what?

Did I at any point say a driver shouldn't choose destination?

What is my business if you people choose destinations? It is your right. If there is anything I have ever said as regards drivers and riders altercations- it is, be civil and professional about it.

Enough of this you people have never owned a car. I drive a 2015 SUV, been driving it since 2017. I know what it takes to fix a car!

So, you all should please learn to keep your emotions in check. The world isn't out to get you drivers okay?

Rubbiish:

Of course u will always find another perspective because the rider is a woman?
@bold because someone is an engineer, he has no right to choose location for construction, even if it is sambisa forest?
To many of u a taxi driver is a slave and must accept every nonsense thrown at him?
Because someone is an uber driver doesn't mean he has lost the right to decline unfavourable and threatening trips. If his vehicle get damaged in the process of trying to be a yes man, will the rider or uber fix the car for him?
When some people talk i just know they haven't own a tyre in their entire life, because if u have used a car and know how frustrating it is to keep repairing samething in a vehicle, u won't invite uber driver to certain location as a rider.

pocohantas:


I hope so. The only thing I know I condemed is him calling her a prostitute and I maintain my stand on that.

Perkins1:


No Izzou you're changing the narratives. The rejecting of the ride even with a genuine explanation warranted the smeering SMS and hence his response.


Now.. A MECHANIC has rejected my car because of his reason, and I sent an SMS dats y you're a MECHANIC! Now you can only reason it because you were not the one outside at 12am being dragged because you couldn't render a service you signed for.

radautoworks:


You seem to really hate the people you interact with in your job and the job itself. Maybe find a new profession?

thelastorca:


Gazzuz and Rd autoworks own their platforms.

If I am self employed, I can choose to reject jobs. However as an employee/partner I may not have that leverage, depending on the terms of my employment/ agreement.

tojahh:


No bro, the driver owns his car and his agreement with uber is.... Cancel any ride that threatens your life which did. So why the fuss?

Rubbiish:

Funny enough i am not an uber driver
I am into construction & just love this thread
I am only stating things as they are

izzou:


No sir, I'm not changing the narratives

The reason I jumped into this discussion is because of the insults thrown....not because of him declining

And rejecting a trip isn't wrong. Uber put the option there for a reason.

I just wished he didn't use the word PROSTITUTE.
That's my point. But then, the driver has already explained to me better

radautoworks:


Well you're crying more than the bereaved

emmancecute:

I'm a very reasonable individual, I was online past 12am to work. This is business to me, so profitability is prioritized. The moment her request came in, I called and used ma all through my conversation even till the point I discovered the trip isn't gonna be profitable to me. I noticed the rudeness in conversation but decided to suck it up, Las Las na my money I go collect. The moment I told her the reason why I couldn't make the trip, She got even more aggravated and ended the call with a hiss. So, if I reply in same manner she did, I perfectly understand the context of her words.

donfortune48:


You mean...
...She could be having an emotional turmoil at the time she posted that?

thelastorca:


Well if you felt in danger, I guess no harm no foul

InvestorO:


YOU GO TO MEN DOMINATED THREAD AND SPEW YOUR THRASH AND AGENDA DAY AND NIGHT,....Are you not always tired,all this for worthless nairaland likes and shares?...

Rubbiish:

I should be the one asking u that
You women should stop dragging gender bias into everything

tojahh:



Alaye... When two people dey quarrel, na who use big insult wey go pain the other person dem dey practice. Were you expecting him to reply her

'God bless you'?

I was expecting him to ignore. After all, you Don cancel..... Wetin remain?

I once picked one silly girl that was very insultive. She put Yaba as destination and asked me to pass Ago palace way(from Festac). She then later said she's going to Aswani side.

I then made a comment like "That road is bad oh". Opari

She started talking and talking how drivers are proud and all rubbish.... That if I don't want to drive, I should go home and sleep

I was just saying "Yes ma"... She got more pissed because I wasn't responding to her talks.. She continued and I was just silent. At few intervals, I'll say "Yes ma".

As she pay me, I just look her with disgust and zoomed off.... The saliva wey I go use ask God to uplift me, na him I wan waste on top person wey I no sabi?

My point? Ignore...

EgunMogaji2:


PS: I’ll also admit that the banks 12% tbills rate is making me business lazy.

radautoworks:


Stop viewing everything from a "you women" standpoint and we will.

Let me ask, if it had been a male passenger who texted that, what would the return insult have been?

tojahh:


EOD.... That's it. The young man explained to the rider and even asked her to cancel giving reasons.

On Saturday at lekki phase 1(1:59am). I picked a female rider, we got talking she told me the ride she earlier booked, the driver didn't cancel and promised her he'd come but she waited 20mins no show and she doesn't know how to cancel, she even restarted her phone the thing was still there, called the driver, he didn't pick, called and called no show.
I just told her maybe the guy got car problems.

So stuff like this... Sometimes some riders and some drivers no get truth. Na survival of who frustrate pass

Bros... Like we all admit, we see things differently and handle situations according to state of mind. Because he replied her calling her a Pro should land him in hellfire.

It was her word against his.

Do you know one day at Iyana Ipaja I was almost mobbed? Why? Because I slowed down to ask a direction to a pick up. The next thing the woman shouted!

Don't answer him, they're 419ners. They are thieves, Ole. Omo, I just weak, I had to come down to explain to people who I am with my ID card. Whereas my car was almost at the point of vandalism. And only two learnered persons there saved the day for me when I showed them the App.

So bro, if na you, you for keep quiet and zoom off right? And they chase you and burn you inside the car? Na inside life be this, we handle situations according to state of mind.

No right
No wrong

Just what your heart believes.

pocohantas:


This is not true Sir. There is right and wrong- they were both wrong. I saw you say you worked in a bank. I am sure while you were there, you would never have replied an irate customer with such response and we all know the reason...

There is right and there will always be wrong.

tojahh:


No I wouldn't. But I'd reply the customer with a suitable insult/response

And yes like I said... Its what your heart believes. For me.

No right
No wrong

We work with what work for us.

pocohantas:


Most likely the latter, Sir.

pocohantas:


Most likely the latter, Sir.

The world will be doomed if everyone operates on that model. That is why God gave us the grace to discern and differentiate the good from bad. So...there'll always be right & wrong.

pocohantas:


YOU ARE VERY WISE!

I wonder why rubbish is seeing gender or victimization of driver. No one has a problem with him rejecting the ride! No one has a problem with him replying sef!

But why call her a prostitute? It is confirmed he is a taxi driver. What we are not sure is her occupation
