Does anyone ever wish that Uber came with a customer profile where you could select introvert or extrovert? I just hate small talk with Uber drivers.

I wish you could give drivers 'compliments' for not saying anything - rather than only for 'great conversation'. Who wants to talk to taxi/uber drivers ever?

It’s *shocking* to me that they don’t yet have a “not interested in chatting” type button.

Since I only ever use it for work anyway, I really wouldn’t mind a slightly more expensive quiet car option

My SO will put me on the spot sometimes (he is an extrovert) and say just talk to me (it will just be us two). He generally talks a lot and me so much.
