46:23 Link's new napping! This is a "coffee nap". Just like you said a caffeine power nap. Take a short 20-30 minute nap. When that is over your coffee should have kicked in.
Can we talk about the drivers who let you on "arriving in 2 minutes" for over ten minutes only to cancel on you? And then you get a higher rate and lost time. And you can't rate them either.
As a driver, the sense of entitlement here is… totally expected with how passengers treat us generally and how much abuse we take! We’re independent contractors trying to thrive in the wild. You want to rate 1 star to a driver that might’ve just gotten into an accident for all you know? Good stuff, Princess.
As someone who also reads slowly due to being easily distracted, or reading on "autopilot" I'm trying this technique out and finding it really helpful. A+ rec
As someone who drove for Uber for a while, I’m kinda shocked yall have that many 1stars. I so rarely rated anyone 1 star! Unless they threw up or left trash.
I have a 4.86 and I’m sure it’s because I do Uber pet sometimes (specifically the pet friendly option), and even though I bring a blanket to catch as much fur on my tiny dog as possible, there’s often some remaining fur. I’m not sure what to do about it other than somehow handle my squirming dog and lint roll their car for them.
If I could give an Uber rating for Rhett's speed reading bit. Would much rather have spent the time going over the vision boards that Jenna created. 2 stars.
Someone help me. What R&L song goes something like 'keep talking about my salamander, she says she doesnt like lizards'? That line has been in my head for about a decade. Thanks!
That speed reading technique is really interesting. I was sitting in a uni lecture the other day thinking to myself that it'd be much more efficient if I wasn't repeating the professors words in my head. I guess it might actually be true.
I have taken 146 trips with uber with a 4.92 rating. 125 5-Stars, 0 4-Stars, 1 3-Stars, 0 2-Stars and 2 1-Stars. Mainly I am 99.5 percent quiet and be to myself on my phone.
My total days with Uber is 2349 days. 4 trips and 3 Uber Eats. If you're under 5 rides you don't even get ratings to protect the driver's privacy. The only time I Uber or Lyft is when I'm in a city. If I'm in the city its usually for a good time. I can't imagine anyone I've rode with has had a bad experience. I also usually have a couple drinks in me and Andrew Jackson usually enters the chat as I get out lol.
My Uber rating is 4.98, 86/87 5-stars, and 1/87 3-star. Uber ran the smaller, local, more accommodating ridesharing companies out of business, and I didn’t realize that they don't allow dogs here (they do in other cities, which is extra frustrating) I had to take my small dog to the vet for an emergency issue with her eye, and the Uber I took on the way back (not the one there) fussed that I had a dog and gave me 3 stars. I get it, but at the same time I wasn't purposely trying to screw him over. She's a small dog who sits still on my lap, doesn't shed, and was hopped up on a bunch of painkillers lol. She didn't make a peep the entire ride home. The vet I needed to bring her to (eye specialist) was in a part of town that cabs don't frequent a lot because restaurants/etc are more centrally located, so I was otherwise stranded if he hadn't finally agreed. I'm still annoyed by it, especially since the previous companies allowed it, and most importantly because Uber in other places give the option to bring pets. It's been 2 years and they still don't have the pet option, so I stick with cabs if I have to go anywhere with one of my dogs. I get all irritated whenever I see that imperfect rating because it takes me back to that very stressful time Side note: over 6 months of 7 different meds in various forms given 1-4 times daily, and my old pup managed to keep her eye. The vet was surprised at how well her healing went, but she's always been a stubborn little thing lol. Also, cab drivers love how well she behaves in their cars so that's that 😂
I’ve never looked at my Uber rating before, I can’t believe I have 4.98, I would have thought Rhett and links would have been higher than mine until I checked it lol
Link giving an Uber driver 1 star for some latent cigarette smell, a slight delay, and a personal judgement that his driver "isn't aggressive enough" is actually the thing that has hurt my opinion of him the most in over 10 years of watching. Giving a service worker 1 star requires some EGREGIOUS shit. You're telling their employer they shouldn't have that job. That their livelihood, in your opinion, should be taken away. It's "being mean to your server for no reason" territory. Link is a really privileged dude. He's not out there struggling on the daily in a service industry job. To take what was just a slightly uncomfortable experience and turn that into "Hey Uber, this experience was so bad I literally cannot express a lower number on your scale" is gross, and sad. Link you'll probably never see this, but if for some reason you do, reflect on the difference between your life, and the life of a person whose livelihood relies on a 1-5 star scale that's influenced by the ratings of people as apparently harsh as you.
Na man the guy probably smokes in the car as well. And if he doesn't he should wear a jacket when he smokes outside then take it off and put it in the boot so the smell doesn't carry inside. It's common decency. 3rd hand smoke is a thing as well so there is no way I want my lungs to have any kind of smoke residue inflicted on them against my will.
I have two uber account. One has 63 rides with a 5 star rating. The other has 61 rides with a 4.90 rating. The 4.90 has one 1 star and 1 2 star rating. Pretty sure those are the two cancelations on the account.
The impact to the driver, who, at the end of the day got me to where im going and is just trying to make ends meet in a dangerous and thankless job with no labor protections, is FAR worse than how good it feels for me to 1-star them. Unless something has genuinely infringed upon my dignity or safety, i absolutely do not mark down in stars. And i NEVER withhold a tip if i got to my destination safely. The only time i may mark down stars is doing 4 stars because some apps require there to be a 4 or less star rating before you can offer a comment. If im rating them down, i always say why. 1 star= i am actively making a report 3-4 star= i just needed to leave feedback 5 star= anything from a kinda bad ride to a fantastic ride, as long as i got there and dont feel the need to make a report or offer feedback. Its tough out there.
Not great scores. A lot of drivers will draw the line at 4.80 when accepting trips. For driver ratings, Uber may deactivate drivers if their rating drops below 4.85. Driver cannot rate you if you cancel before the trip starts. As a driver I almost always rate riders 5 stars, but some things that will make me consider lower ratings are: Rudeness Bad smell Playing music on top of my music without asking Door-slamming Asking me to speed or make illegal maneuvers or expecting to be picked up in a no-stopping zone. Complaints about how the Nav's route isn't the way you normally go. Politely suggesting a different route is fine though. I don't downrate for waiting too long; I just cancel.
My Lyft rating is 5.0 stars out of 398 rides. Can't find how many Uber rides I have, but I'm also 5.0 stars on there. I am so polite that its detrimental to me sometimes.
Rhett and Link, I’m a 15 year old screenwriter in production of filming my first $2000 feature film. I’d love to get in contact with you guys to get something written. Thank you have a great day

44:48 that's because they fire them for having a stranger rate them on an arbitrary scale. A 4 star is not a good rating. The only rating uber wants to see is 5. And there are so many entitled customers. So, yeah, a 2 star is a devestating rating. You dragged that guy's average so far down. Meanwhile, they have to deal with beligerant, drunk, offensive, people, not to mention just blatent harressment, and all they can do is put a 1 star review. God forbid you have to deal with a wrong turn. Wild. Definitely haven't talked to someone in the working class that isn't your subordinate in a long while, huh?
Their entire job is literally to take you to your destination efficiently and in the estimated time. That’s it. Wrong turns can turn into substantial wastes of time like what it sounded like in links case.
3076 day. 2295 tips. I live in the burbs and don't own a car. I Uber and Lyft a LOT. Smelly cars I usually just don't rate the trip at all. Bad drivers who get lost, don't listen to my directions, or are generally rude get no rating and no tip. It takes a lot to get a bad rating from me. Like the one driver who refused to let me do a stop and kicked me and my groceries out. He put my food on the ground in the parking lot of my stop. Bruh. Oh and 4.87 is my score. I'm good with that!

It's not that far off. It's off by .07 rounded up. could be someone could anonymously rate you?
