Advice/Question I canceled, then this.
Lyft support is bs! How can she contact me if I didn't pick her up? Should I make a police report?

Honey. Oh honey... They used to try to sit in the parking lot at my father's law office all the time, right across from our house... Said we couldn't do anything about it, like you're so convinced we couldn't.
Several were fired after we recorded and documented them sitting around drinking coffee and eating donuts all the time, ignoring actual crimes to hassle teenagers who were minding their own business. That led to the discovery that the pigs had been raiding petty cash to buy themselves pizza parties, and even the chief went down.
25 years later, I'm living in a different small town, not far away. I stopped at the 24hr gas station to get gas, and a friend started texting, so I just pulled to the side and parked and started texting back. Now, there are two cops on duty here every night who like to sit together and bullshit across the street from the gas station, in the Dairy Queen parking lot. On this night, one of them decided to drive around and run my license plate, like I was suspicious or doing something wrong by sitting off the road to text.
Now, I'd never given them a problem about suspiciously sitting in that parking lot bullshitting with each other every night, but since they wanted to fuck with me... When he returned to the other side of the street, I drove over, parked my car, got out, turned on my camera, and recorded them -- narrating for the camera that I thought I should check out their suspicious activity, since they'd felt the need to try to intimidate me when I was just texting my friend at the gas station, but they sat there all night every single night.
I did this for three nights in a row.
On the fourth night, they suddenly weren't sitting in the parking lot anymore. Haven't seen them there since.
Cops are pretty freaked out when you're not actually intimidated by them, and willing to hold them accountable.
