RE: Question of the Day - To Sit in the Front Passenger Seat or the Back Seat on an Uber/Lyft Ride? [lifestyle]
If I'm riding alone I always sit in the front seat. I'm not sure why but it kinda feels rude or something to sit in the back. If I'm riding with other people however I actually prefer to sit in the back and not sit with the driver lol so that's kinda odd.
Lately I have had the worst uber experiences. I don't take uber that much but man my last 3 rides have been horrific like I literally thought I was gonna die. My girlfriends brotehr takes uber all the time and raves about it and jokes I must be bad luck because every ride we take together is bad.
I'm not even exaggerating my last ride from Chicago out to the suburbs about a 45 minute ride the lady was falling asleep the entier time head nodding, we kept having to scream at her, she almost crashed into a wall on the 290 and when we got on Route 83 not technically a highway but sort of a local highway I kid you not this lady fell completely asleep and stopped in the middle of this road which was 55mph. Fortunately it was like 430 am so nobody was out. My buddies girlfriend actually called the uber safety line and was like this lady should not be driving, not sure what ever came of it
@rulesforrebels That does sound like a horrible experience, and as for the front, I do agree about the odd feeling of being in the back. I didn't feel so much rude as pretentious, but I see others jump solo in the back like nothing, so who knows.
Pretentious thats the word I was looking for. Yeah with a Taxi driver I always sit in the back and I think they prefer it that way, I've actually had taxi drivers tell me to get out of the front seat and sit in the back. I think they are worried about robberies and I've actually been told its a law unless the back seat is full you are supposed to sit in the back at least in Chicago.
WIth uber drivers since it's normal everyday people and they aren't carrying cash I feel like you said its less formal and I feel like I'm the grey poupon guy very pretentious if I hop in the backseat.
