Just curious to hear if anyone here has any particularly frustrating/amusing Cancelation experiences they wanted to share/get off their chest? Hopefully nothing mid-ride--where the person was being difficult/threatening you-- but maybe something where looking back, you probably dodged a bullet?
Was it some entitled jerk who you arrived for and they were insisting on-- or just trying to fool you into-- bringing an open container into your car?
Were they just really passive-aggressive/demanding about it?
One particular example that came to mind for me was a pickup one evening in DTLA. I'd arrived outside of an apartment building to pick up some dude on a one-way street, the pin/location was a bit vague, the driver behind me wasn't letting me over, so I had to drive a few cars past the building once I determined where it was, then hit "Arrive."
Almost immediately I get a call from the pax-- I guess he was watching from outside of his window-- to say that I was not RIGHT out in front of the building. Taken aback, I apologized, but said I was a few cars down. This man whined to me that "it's dangerous outside at night!!" I said well, I could TRY backing up on a one-way street, or circling back around the block if he'd like.
Within the span of like 5 seconds, he hangs up on me, and I get a notice that the ride is Canceled. What a diva, I thought. But in the grand scheme, as annoying as it was, if they were that paranoid/demanding, the ride had it happened probably wouldn't have been any fun either.
How about you??
