ALERT! ALERT!

At a bar with my wife for happy hour to take a break from moving. There are four people sitting at the corner of the bar (two on each side of the corner). How do I passively aggressively try to fuck with them for NOT GETTING A TABLE?!?!

    Are they together? How many seats are left at the bar? How many open tables are there?

    Yea these rules don't exist in a vacuum. If the place isn't busy, none of it matters. Sit at a 20 top by yourself if you want.

    Did they walk through the door together? Did they strategically space themselves out when entering?

    Go stand at the corner of the bar in the center of the four. Listen to their conversation while ordering a beer. While waiting for the beer, join in on conversation, interrupt if you have to. After you get your beer, stay at the corner and keep joining in on their conversation. If they aren't conversing, start a conversation with them.

    There is nothing worse in this world than having to listen to someone else's problems when you genuinely could not care any less.

    That's a weird thing to get upset about. I actually like when Uber drivers confirm my destination.

    Unles something has changed, that's how Uber works. The driver doesn't know the passenger's destination until they accept the fare and pick up the rider.

    That is correct. Probably so drivers can't cherry pick the better rides. They shouldn't be asking before you get in the car. They can refuse if it's a really long trip though from what I understand.

    Now, if the driver can't see that info, fair enough. However, I have no problem with a driver wanting that information beforehand. He or she is supposed to just blindly accept no matter where I'm going? That is crazy. It's not a cab service.

    It doesn't tell the driver though. Until they pick you up.

    Correct, they don't get your destination until they pick you up.

    What if drivers started wanting to cancel rides left and right because it was too far (and who defines too far? one guy doesn't wanna drive 15 minutes outside his area?) or too short and thus not profitable enough? I can see why they'd try to curb that.

    Now, if you got in and suddenly your destination was an hour a way, I could also see them asking the rider if they would mind canceling as they can't do a trip that far away.

    Re: What (besides politics) irritates you?

    Similar note, my wife and I were in Miami this weekend, and yesterday we requested an Uber. The driver was like 4.4 stars which I thought isn't bad, but I wonder why it's not higher. It seemed to take her forever to get to us even though she was right around the corner, and we were in a pretty dead area with no traffic and few lights. I had entered the destination as a restaurant where we wanted to be dropped off. After we got in, she asked me for the destination (there was already a bit of a language barrier) and I said I'm pretty sure I entered it. She said "yes, but it's no address". I started to tell her the address, but she told me to do it with the Uber app. I confirmed that I had, she again said but it's not an address. She showed me her phone and it had a destination, and I told her looks like you need to hit the Navigate button. When she did that, it started the turn by turn directions and it looked like it was taking us to the point we wanted to go to. She exited navigation again saying but it's no address, just Miami Beach.

    It was a ridiculous back and forth of us clearly seeing that her app/the map wanted to take us where we needed to go, but her thinking it wasn't an actual place. So we finally got out and canceled it. Had to get Uber to refund me the $5+ for going 0.6 miles

    had a driver the other day tell me he drove someone, in an UberX from DC to JFK. The girl missed her flight because she thought she could get there in 3 hours on a Friday. He ended up staying in the city.

    Uber drivers don't know the destination until the trip has started. Common practice is to give your uber driver a heads up if you are going far outside the city you are in (like over 30 minutes) to see if they still want the trip. Offering a tip for their deadhead back will likely get you a driver right away.

    Did not know they can't see it until picking you up. How exactly are you supposed to let them know?

    You put it in the app when you request the ride. It's not until they pick you up that they press a button on their end to confirm they've picked up the rider, that the destination shows up for them.

    Apparently when a ride is requested, the nearest driver is alerted and all they see is the location of the rider on a map with approximate time it'll take them to get to the pickup point, and the rider's Uber rating. After they decide to accept the ride, they receive the rider's name and they can call you. After they pick you up, they receive the destination.

    Right, I set my destination all the time. But if they can't see it prior to getting to you, how are you supposed to give them a heads up that you're going a long distance?

    Not until they accept and are on their way to you. Then you can contact the driver. Hopefully it's an amicable process and either they say yeah no problem, or they give you a reason why they'd rather not go that far, and you mutually agree to cancel. Then worst thing is they've wasted a few minutes thinking they were about to get a fare. And you request another ride.

    I think once I was staying in Athens like 7 miles from downtown/campus and we were trying to get an Uber over there either for a game or right after a game. I can't remember how it exactly went down, but I think after the driver accepted, he called me and I told him we were heading downtown, he said okay and hung up or something, but then all the sudden the ride was canceled. I think he just didn't want to head into all that traffic. That's the only time something like that has happened to me.

    Eh, if they're not interested in accepting lengthy fares, it's on them to call me. I'm the one paying for a service.

    Just my two cents, though.
