30 Uber Drivers Talk About Their Weirdest, Creepiest Passengers 

4. Not Uber but Lyft. Around when I first started doing Lyft full time I decided to try the night scene out in a town that had a bunch of bars. Around 12 AM I ended up getting a ride where the pickup took me 20 minutes away to a bad neighborhood. As soon as I get to the “apartment” complex I call the passenger and tell them I am there because I have a bad feeling about this neighborhood and need to get out ASAP. The passenger answers and tells me they will be right out which relieves me a little but I’m still on edge sitting there in my car. Lyft has a 5 minute timer you have to wait before you can “no-show” the passenger and leave. The timer ends up running out but I usually wait a little longer and give another call. I call a second time but someone else answers the phone this time saying they didn’t order a Lyft. As I hang up I see two guys in hoodies coming toward my car and one seems to be reaching in his waistband for something so I no-show the ride and nope the fuck out of there. I made $10 off the no-show but I was done driving nights for a while after that.

5. 3am. Drive up to an old bar. Guy and his friend get in and immediately start laughing. I don’t question because I figured they were drunk, and from the smell, stoned too. About half way to their destination, the guys friend asked me for my wallet because he left his driver’s license in it. I started laughing because that’s the stupidest thing I ever heard. My friend a few months prior bought a new wallet and left his old one in the my car, so I put a single dollar in it and handed it to him. He hopped out of the car and ran a few feet away before saying “What the hell? 1 dollar? You’re broke as hell!”
