So I try to drive smoothly. I offer pax their choice of music styles on my SiriusXM radio. I'm a naturally friendly person.
So here's the problem. I've had a 4.95 rating. And I've actually let myself feel proud of that. So much so that I felt bad earlier this week when I pulled a 1-star for no reason, it took me down to a 4.94, and I took it personally.

So some ideas I've thought of to "earn" my weekly 1-star:
- "Now that we're in the car, you reek of marijuana. Not in my car. This trip's over."
- "Now that I see your destination, I've changed my mind about this ride. The trip's over."
- "Why do you think it is appropriate to talk to me this way? You misunderstand the nature of our relationship. This ride's over."
- "The route you're requesting has traffic. I'm following Waze instead,"
