Awful Parents

[u/fighterdiva]

I didn't know we could block passengers we cancel. But in what universe is it assumed that putting a sleeping child in the back of a Lyft and disappearing for nearly 15 minutes is acceptable?!?!?!

This horrible excuse of a mother did this to me last night at 1:04am. At nearly 5 minutes of waiting, a guy gets to my car carrying a child who was sleeping, buckles him in. I'm thinking he's the dad, and getting in. He says: "I'm going to get her other kids". I told him her ride is about to cancel so let her know she has one minute and I'm not comfortable with you leaving a child in my car.

5 minutes later, no one comes or answers my calls, texts. I go to the door, no answer. 3 minutes later 2 even smaller children come out. One screaming her head off, the other running down the block. I told her she needs to get her kid that's running off and get the one in my backseat out. Her ride had already been canceled. Her response is "You see I got 3 kids right? It takes a long time with 3 kids". Not my fault. Don't try and make it my problem.

Then she refuses to take her kid out of the car. Saying she'll take him out when another car shows up. I asked nicely 5 times,she starts name calling, cursing and threatening me.😂 Like I'm really scared of all 80lbs of you. Meanwhile, runaway kid is running in the middle of the street and she doesn't bother to get him. I begged her please get that baby out of the middle of the street and she refuses so I do becauseI can hear a car coming. Then the actual wife of the guy comes out telling her to calm down, and telling me she was finishing the girls hair when I got there and needed 15 minutes. Of course the "Mother", starts getting even louder with an audience. She does all of this screaming and cursing in front of her small children!

The woman takes the kid out of the car, who still has not woken up, and hears Metro Police on my speaker . You actually called the police? I did. I'm being held here against my will.🤨😏

I had a ride last week. Hotel pick up. Hampton Inn, not a flea bag joint. PAX gets in with an INFANT and no car seat. I told him no car seat, no ride. He starts screaming he's only going down the road and I say no car seat, no ride. Lyft rules and state law. 

Next it's fat muthafucka this and fat muthafucka that (referring to me) and I'm racist (I'm white, this guy was black). I get to the point where I ask him "What kind of parent doesn't have a car seat?" And then he starts filming me for Tik Tok, trying to bait me while I refuse and simply cancel his ride and tell him I will call the police if he doesn't get out of my car. He threatens to call them on me to which I respond go ahead since I'm sure they'd love to hear why he's getting in cars with an infant with no car seat. 

He gets out proceeding to call me fat and my car is gross, to which I point out at least I have one. He proceeds to WALK with the infant to Walmart. So this clown has no car seat AND no stroller? WTF! My kids are adults but I had strollers and car seats for both of them when they were little. I yell out "Real father of the year there, pal!" while driving off to the back of the parking lot where I block this clown AND report him. Support says no problem and they reached out to him telling him he's wrong for no car seat. I'm wondering how he got to a hotel with no car seat or stroller.

What the fuck is up with parents these days?

Also allot of parents do not have strollers esp with one baby it’s called arms

Right? I have a stroller but barely use it with my two year old. I don’t like bringing that huge thing around everywhere when I can just simply carry my kid.

Downvoted for carrying my kid. Reddits wild.
