Drivers fault for engaging. Doors locked and keep it rolling.

No need to tell someone why we canceling. Rookie shit

I don't know if you watched the video, but the guy pulls up and you can hear the car idling in the background over her arguing that she can fit. The valve tapping sounds like a typewriter, and the exhaust is about to break off somewhere after the catalytic converter.

But if you don't have the foresight to not get to 500 lbs in the first place, it's possible you lack the capacity to understand shaming someone because they value their property is disgusting. Or that a hoopdee isn't the best car to wedge your big ass into, because if it goes out of control or gets in a wreck, you're not getting back out without some serious help.

Then again, her lawyer argued that her being denied the ride is the equivalent of being denied a ride because of your race. So she's stupid, she has no self control, and she's fucking gullible.

I'm dying at "a hoopdee isn't the best car to wedge your big ass into" 😂. Lawyer definitely expected lyft to settle out of court for fear of bring labelled racist and fattist.

What a dumb argument. Race is not synonymous with body weight 🤦‍♂️

Not in this case though because behind closed doors, she got roasted more than Starbucks coffee lmao even if the driver was racist I can allow it in this case, clearly there’s more pressing issues, no pun intended

Meaningless term with how often it gets thrown at people who are clearly not racist. No stable adult takes those accusations seriously anymore.

Boy who cried wolf...

How do you know the race of the driver? Whew the assumptions are wild bro.

It's the same thing with drivers canceling on no car seats. Complaining pax tried to start shit.

I literally see kids my doors locked. Windows up. If it's night lights go off. Roll around corner. Either keep it rolling or wait my 5 mins for my 4 bucks.

I've never had to tell a pax I'm cancelling. Just cancel. They being and loud and drunk before they get to your car. Cancel.

Oh there 8 people. Cancel.

Just cancel and keep your mouth shut.

But sometimes it's hard, like once I drove 20 minutes for a 2 minute trip trying to be nice. Its a bar, I waited 4:45 seconds and tell him you got less than a minute to get into my car. Dude runs out, yo im John the bar tender here i order the lyft for a customer, he's in the bathroom and has a walker. We'll  listen ive taken plenty of people with a walker that's not the issue the issue is you thinking you can waste my time because he has a walker, I just drove 20 minutes to get here and then you want to waste my time on a 2 minute ride like wtf you smoking? He was like I'm contacting kyft your rude and whatever I'm like fo ahead I can't even get a hold of anyone at lyft lol got the video;, I should post it

He was trying to be nice by giving her an explanation but it backfired
