Uber etiquette can be a slippery issue. I'm always wondering how much I should talk, if it's poor form to have headphones on, or if I should actually be sitting in the passenger seat. I'm pretty convinced that I'm fine on that last one, but the point stands. I suppose everyone is different, and you should just approach the interaction like you would anything else. You wouldn't crack open a fresh hard-boiled egg in your friend's car so don't do it in an Uber!
It's a tough world out there, especially for Uber drivers struggling with the app's saturation and stingy policies. So fishy rideshare scams and workarounds are becoming more common. It's hard to know who to blame, and users and drivers suffer alike. Like a Redditor's recent story about an erroneous charge that left them baffled. Commenters soon chimed in with their Uber horror stories. Good luck bringing those stories to customer service!
