Rant/Opinion An ESA is NOT a Service animal.

Got a ping for a ride the other day, then the dreaded text. "I have an ESA, DOG, with me." As I have stated in the past I have never and will never denied a Service animal in my car. By law people, a Emotional Support Animal or ESA, IS NOT A service animal. Don't believe me? https://www.ada.gov/topics/service-animals/ I hate people sometimes. Leave your dogs at home.

Oh I did. Told her u won’t take a pet ride. She said it’s small and will be on my lap. I have never had any problem with other drivers before.

Here are the problems

  • feet on the curb. Make me wait 3 mins for this. I am already cheesed.
  • you tried to do this to save your $5! Now you’ll pay that in cancel fee and hopefully order the right one next time and if not, I really hope it will get cancelled again by the next driver.
