the very first time or two i got in the front, not realizing how awkward that was. I mean it would if I thought about it but it really did just seem like I was getting into a car so I just instinctively went for it.

I mean it would if I thought about it but it really did just seem like I was getting into a car so I just instinctively went for it. This is what I did and then just kept doing it. I never even had a driver look at me twice about it. I do feel bad for asking a lot of the "don't ask these questions", questions. Sorry, If it makes you feel better I truly couldn't have given a poo poo about the drivers answers, either. And, it got really loving tiring of being a seemingly able-bodied male who couldn't drive to-from work a relatively long distance and needing to take Uber some days when I couldn't car pool during the state mandated time I couldn't drive after I had my last siezure, because then I'd get the general, probing "So what's up..." kind of question or felt like I had to explain that "no I'm not here because of a DUI or or something I've got this yada yada thing going on" and it invariably ended with either a soft "...oh" or "My sister has that and she fell in a pool and died! Did you die in a pool?" or some other retarded poo poo. Every loving day. I did get to know a couple of the drivers pretty good though, there was this one dude closer to my dad's age, I live in WI, this guy had a thick as gently caress WI accent but a voice just BUILT to be on the radio or on TV, like a local radio host or pitchman and drove a bitchin, ridiculous, blue Escalade with huge rims. Hilarious fucker, too and we'd shoot the poo poo all the time, I felt bad almost when I got my license back. He'd actively watch for my request when he new I was almost done at work, toward the end of when I was using the service. Big Beef City fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Feb 14, 2018 |

yeah I eat rear end posted:People who sit in the front and they're the only passenger are weird. The Uber guy is my driver, not my friend that I want to talk to. I prefer the only interaction to be "hi, where to" in the beginning and "that'll be ____" at the end. People generally like to be treated as humans / equals. You should try it some day.

Honestly; if having to answer "What else do you do?" and "Busy day?" annoy you? This is why you drive Uber for a living. Big Beef City fucked around with this message at 00:50 on Feb 14, 2018 |

Not being able to small talk is one of the most visible traite of autistic people imo. Nobody cares about the goddamn weather today, obviously, its not the topic that is important but the act of communication itself.

They're doing a job for me. Do I ask the mechanic how his day is going when I take my car to him to fix it? No, I just give him the money and he fixes the car, end of story. I have actual friends, I don't want to treat some dude i'll either never see again or maybe only see once a year tops like a friend.

"Brakes." Sir your car is not on our registered ... "BRAKES!!!!" Ok, we'll look at them. *6 hours go by* Hello sir, the brakes looked fine. "OIL NOT DONE!!" You asked us to check the brakes,sir.

I can sort of see his point. If you do an incredibly repetitive low level job it starts to suck when people pester you about it. Like when you're obviously an underpaid scrub who has to do a lovely job to pay rent due to lovely life choices it blows chunks when someone asks you "What else do you do?" and im like.... "this is it..this is how I pay rent :-(" Nothing wrong with small talk about the weather though!

Big Beef City posted:"Brakes." You obviously tell them what the problem is. I was extremely obviously talking about small talk. I don't need to know about my mechanic's family or how his day is, my car is broken, I tell him what is happening, I have money bills in my pocket, he fixes it, I hand him moneys, end of transaction. I hate it when my mechanic asks things like what I do for a living or how I spend my free time, just fix it.

Honestly looking back in the vast majority of cases I've ordered a taxi or similar, I sit in the seat that the driver opens the door for. I usually just stand there until he gets out and takes my luggage and opens the door for me. Opening a door myself seems presumptuous.

Hell Stink posted:If not beneath you. Opening doors is for lesser beings. Exactly. I'm glad someone else understands the hierarchy. In the cases they don't open the door for me or even worse pop the trunk and make me put my own luggage in, I just start thinking about what i'll do with the tip I would have given them otherwise.

Uber isn't allowed in Vancouver, OP! But when I get a cab I sit in the back. I sit in the front if I'm with friends b/c they're usually pussies about sitting beside the driver. e: Lyft also is not allowed here fwiw esperterra fucked around with this message at 04:24 on Feb 14, 2018 |

You guys are loving weird. Uber or cab, I've always sat in the front when I'm alone and talked to the people. They're usually quite happy to have a chat and often talk my ear off. If I'm with my GF or something though I'll sometimes sit in the back with her or not depending if it seems like we want to all start a conversation or not.
