I would like to vent about Arab/Muslim/Brown Uber drivers who I literally cannot deal. Ones who add 30 min to your trip to the airport because they’ve ignored the GPS bc they know “a faster way”...

Also horror story: not desi driver but one guy started having a conversation with himself.. as in two different personalities. I thought I was going to die

I loathe Muslim taxi drivers who ask me my religion (like why??) and then start bitching about USA and other religions and try to bond, and then start preaching about praying or how I have to marry a Muslim man and that I shouldn’t dare marry a white man 🙄 I understand you’re trying to earn brownie points with God, but please know your limits.

Without telling you. Then ones who ask too many personal questions and tell you that you should take their marriage proposal. And ones who are literally ducking creeps. I know it’s not just an Arab/Muslim/brown thing... but mostly those drivers are the ones where I get that from

So if y’all can share your horror Uber stories, that would make me feel a little bit better about my shitty ass commute this morning...

That’s probably a smart idea.

This one apologized so I’m not as pissed as I was when I wrote this, but it’s still incredibly annoying. Next time I should just be more proactive about communicating which route I prefer

With so many of “our kind” being uber/taxi drivers and us much as I use for work travel
I haven’t gotten that many
And in my experience they have kept things professional for the most part
Op I’m not saying you’re lying or anything 🙂

SC 1- that’s interesting. Never had that type of convo. They always make a comment about how they’re proud to see hijabis in America followed with a mashallah. Some of them make comments about marriage and kids. I had one guy ask me if I’d consider a proposal he’d sent then proceeded to tell me that I shouldn’t take this world so seriously. Like ok??

I did have one Mexican-American blue collar worker pickup truck Uber ask me out during our convo. It was 15 min before arriving to client site. Best believe I never talked to uber drivers after that.

Honestly Asian drivers usually don’t talk and let me be. It’s pretty great

E1- that sounds HORRID. Where were you - burbs or city?

Manhattan

A1, I don’t quite get it. A white taxi driver who would be telling me to pray and marry a Muslim? Please help me understand a comparable situation.

No in general if a white person started asking you about your religion, and then started having a conversation and then flirting.

A1, you totally missed the point. Never once did I say he was flirting. I was mad at him trying to preach and ‘show me the right path’.
