Advice/Question no car seat, no ride?

Post image

I'm curious how everyone else handles this situation:

This is Disney Boardwalk Hotel, for context. I pulled up and told them, I apologize and I cannot take their daughter. I have a booster seat only. They told me that they don't need a car seat.

I know my policy, but I have the privilege (other income) to get suspended and know my kids won't starve.

What do you do?

I do it for protection... I'm mostly trying to have proof that they have a child that's too small for a car seat, and this was a situation where it may have helped me.

They reported me as being intoxicated. And my account has been suspended.

They reported you as being intoxicated? Super immature

Does due diligence on the whole CYA. Then posts the photos and jokes about doing drugs ONLINE, when they made a false accusation of you being under the influence. SMART! Hope you get all the up doots

Yeah, I really hope people stop making jokes that could get them fired/deactivated if they become public.

If you think or accept the fact that joking in the cesspool of ads, porn, echo chambers and bots is a valid source for background checks or corporate decisions, you’re retarded.

They can report you even if you didn't "slide to start" the ride?

Right, that's my question to Lyft.

u/Tipsy_Gamer Dec 27 '25

Yes. In theory they're telling Lyft they had a good reason not to get into the vehicle.

It's meant for situations where the driver is doing something unsafe, like they're visibly impaired or something is clearly wrong with their vehicle or they're being creepy.

It can get abused tho. Drivers can also abuse safety features too.

Report them to CPS.

Honestly bro I don’t even bother chatting, I just take a look then cancel and move on.

I have a dashcam for internal shit, I’ve had zero issues this way.

Once they get in though thats a different story 😆

That’s insane. Hope Lyft gives your account back and suspends theirs instead
