“[driver name] is hard of hearing” notification when booking an Uber/Lyft, then driver proceeds to have lovely conversation over blaring music. Since it happened a couple of times already, is there a chance they are not hard of hearing and are just exploiting some loophole in Uber/Lyft’s policies? Genuinely curious to either find out something new about hearing disabilities or figure out why you’d pretend to have one.

My dad has full hearing loss in one ear and persistent issues with loud noise. he can have a full convo with you, but it doesn’t mean it’s easy or he wants to do it for multiple hours a day.

They might have severe tinnitus, where one way to avoid focusing on the constant ringing is to have music constantly playing. If you’ve seen the movie Baby Driver (great movie and great soundtrack), that’s what was going on.

I heard a story (urban legend?) that someone's driver did this so no one would talk to them. That's apparently not the case here though if they're making conversation

Hi everyone,
So I had my NIPT and NT scans last week and I’ve been getting pieces of the results back from my doctor in the patient portal. All seems okay but I’m a bit confused. Does anyone know if FirstScreen is the same thing as NIPT? I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.

Can I just vent on how annoyed I am with the increase in “priority boarding” of people that are able bodied? I am happy to let them on first. But I think they should get off last. So many times they are limping or in a wheelchair boarding. And then when we land that are the first to jump up and scurry off. Just not ethical.
