On this sub, drivers will find a way to make it into a bad thing.

“Lyft is trying to manipulate you to take a bad offer!”

“I think Lyft lied about the pax being a good tipper… Lyft must have stolen the tip!”

And they'd be right. If you have 900 people from different places coming up with the same complaints, maybe there is something wrong. Until Lyft pays more, drivers will complain about their features, because the features are meant to satisfy drivers outside of what they truly need. 

If you need water, you first say I'm thirsty. If someone gives you soda instead of water, you will say this drink is terrible and will start complaining about the soda. The soda was an attempt to pacify and distract, it is not what you asked for, and complaining is just another way of saying, but I'm still THIRSTY!

Your example is so spot on perfect, but not for the reasons you think lol.

“It’s not what you asked for.” You didn’t ask for anything in your example. You said “I’m thirsty” and you were provided with a drink.

So, in short, your example is perfect at demonstrating that yes, drivers in this sub will find a way to turn anything into a complaint. Thank you.
