I know this sounds like some absurd story that your loser friend would tell you to seem cool, but it really did happen.

These two drunk girls get into my car and one of them was blackout drunk, at first we were having really good conversations about music and our siblings, but then one of them started flirting with me and then eventually asked if we could kiss, I said no and told her that I found her attractive but it felt like I would be taking advantage of her if I did that given that she's drunk which was the truth.

But if she was sober, would there be any reason that I shouldn't accept her offer to kiss?

For context I'm 25 and reasonably attractive, but that experience just baffled me. Has anyone gone through something similar where a rider was flirting with you?

A passenger reported an injury, even though there were no incidents whatsoever and all passengers appeared satisfied. I received an email from Mobilitas Insurance containing a claim number. When I contacted Lyft, they stated they are not authorized to disclose information regarding the passenger and instructed me to obtain all details directly from the insurance company. I plan to call the insurance company in the morning to clarify the specifics. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

“I don’t know how to get in”

“How’s this work?”

“I can’t figure out your door handle”

“How do I get out?”

“Where’s the handle?”

“Does the roof open?”

“Oops I rolled your window down”

“Oh no, that’s the window”

Correct guess gets a freshly squeezed updoot

You can take that report and shove it right up your cake hole. If you're a five-star driver, with no complaints that should be the only metric I should ever have to look at. I just thought I would say that because it was on my mind. Hello other drivers out there how is everyone today?

Does anyone know why Oregon still has a rate card when almost every other state doesn't?

Seeing how much other drivers are making in other markets really makes me want upfront pricing instead.

With the current rate card you can hardly make 20 dollars an hour unless there are good surges. And it seems more and more rare that there is a surge over 3 dollars.

I'm curious what we would have to pass to get the laws to change here?

I was pissed off after a long night that this bih showed up at my house woke me up talking about her phone. I said get tf off my door step or else im calling the police. And to use the effing app and told her im not home and she had to leave and she found a way to go through the app and I charged her 20 bucks and dropped her phone off at the police station 45 minutes away from her to teach her a lesson.

Have a high surge (50% and above) , but it disappears after you decline a ride and the surge is gone. Well, I discovered a strange workaround. I've tested this several times and had never failed. If you know this already, Kudos, but I'll explain to those who don't.

Here's how I do it.

This is how you don't lose your surge bonus to a shitty ride offer that you have to accept, but if you decline, you lose the bonus. I found a way to keep it going forever.

NOTE: I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S23 in case that matters, but this should work on most Android phones.

1. Obtain a high surge (surge zone disappears for whatever reason)

2. Get a shitty ride offer. Don't accept it

3. immediately close the app and go into Lyft app settings.

4. Force stop the app and then clear the temporary cache

Note: You need to force stop and clear temporary cache within 7 seconds of receiving the offer.

5. App is now closed and cleared. Now, wait 20 seconds and reopen the app.

Note: Now, when you open the app, it puts you back online and passes the ride you didn't want, and you still have a surge bonus.

I was able to hold on to my 120% flash bonus for over an hour after the surge was gone and then repeated these steps until I received an offer for $80 at $75 per hour.

I'm not sure exactly what's happening, but I absolutely know this works. and the ride you skipped doesn't count against your AR either.

I've never been flagged for misuse of the app.

what I'm thinking is that by force closing the app, It thinks you just lost connection instead of what's really happening.

I hated losing my surge when the surge is gone, and then they send you on the cheapest ride offer. Now, I have the power to wait and carry the surge until I get offered the ride that I want.

If this works for you, great. if it doesn't for you🤷‍♀️
