Tell us you're not taking Uber black without telling us

Crazy , why? Their job is to take you to where you are going. If the talking distracts them from traffic or something , then sure. But i don’t expect the driver to keep me entertained with tales from old country or something

I know many won't want to hear this as they do it themselves, but taking calls while driving is inherently unsafe.

i chat with all my uber drivers... and if they get. acall, i encoyrage them to take it..

I have been a driver for uber/lift before, while out of work for 6 months..

I have seen it all... be kind

uplifting

Yeah - but just pay for a silent ride and expense it.

This is such a first world problem. Drive in your own car if it bothers you this much

Was the call in a foreign language that you don’t understand?

Because that’s usually the case with drivers taking calls while with customers, at least when it happened to me.

Well, I had a spouse and their child in mine. Awkward but I also needed the ride.

Cabbies were 100% on phone. That is how they stay awake.

I prefer that so they don’t talk to me

I recently had an uber driver that was smoking while loudly arguing with a podcast. an Uber driver talk on the phone is nothing.

Not really. I don’t usually mind at all
