Uber pays you if someone vomits in your car too. Like that’s ridiculous. He could have let her out anywhere else. But he abandoned two drunk people on a highway. It’s not like he didn’t know they were wasted when he picked them up too.

What the driver want her to do, it's already in the car. Just finish the ride and report uber support is literally so good

Yes it is valid to be upset that someone is throwing up in ur car whats not valid is dumping them on the side of the highway could have easily drove to the nearest exit and dropped them there very dumb move on the uber driver

I am not a rideshare driver but I keep vomit bags (the hospital style ones) in every pocket of my car simply cause I am always giving friends rides to hospital, I had a chronically ill mother, kids get car sick, sometimes I am sick but still have to function, sometimes I pick up drunk friends. You'd think someone who regularly deals with drunks and people heading to hospital would have the foresight to spend $10 on a bulk buy box of vomit bags.

Should’ve drove them to the nearest hospital or police stations 😭 like they’re clearly too drunk to be left to wild.

My Uber driver threaten to drop me off on the highway at 4 am heading to the airport because he heard my AirTag go off in my backpack. Kept telling me to turn it off. I told him I didn’t know how to turn it off (it was when AirTags had just become a thing). My husband put it on my backpack knowing I would always have it while traveling. He screamed and threatened me several times. I was so scared to be left in the dark highway not knowing how far I was from the airport.

I had an uber drop me off on a major highway once. It was awful, he claimed that’s where the map showed my location to be but it wasn’t, it was a street nearby. He would not listen and made me get out.
