Wouldn't it be fun to have a private driver take you anywhere you want?

Well, technically, you can get an Uber or a Taxi anywhere you want, but we all know that's not the same thing. An Uber driver is not remotely as nice or professional as a priver driver, and they are not there for your beck and call. If you had a private driver, you'd never have to wait for them; they would just be there for you when you're ready to leave.

And don't even get us started on the fancy-looking car.

We understand why the woman in the story below wanted to be driven by this private driver, except that she had nothing to do with the poor worker. They just happened to be at the same place at the same time. But just because a private driver is parked in front of your hotel doesn't mean they are there for you, and it definitely doesn't mean they have to take you where you want to go.

  • That is basically what the driver was trying to explain to this woman after they dropped off their actual client at the hotel. Sadly, the entitled woman was not really in any state to listen…

  • CAN YOU GIVE ME A RIDE???

    I live and work in a bougie tourist town in the USA, one of my jobs is private driving (mainly, taking people around in an Escalade to wineries and fancy restaurants).

  • The car is my boss's, it's rented out by the hour, you get the idea. Anyways, the other night I was dropping a mother and daughter off at their hotel, around 11:30pm.

  • The customers I drove were absolutely lovely people, I had been driving them since 9:30 that morning and had a very nice time taking them around the area.

  • I asked if there was anything else they needed, said goodnight, and made sure they were inside the building before getting back into the car.

  • As I'm buckling my seatbelt I realize that someone is staring at me from outside the car.

  • I make the unfortunate mistake of looking up, and make eye contact with this well dressed lady standing with a group of other people in formal wear, probably in her 30s, through the passenger window.

  • I do the customer service smile and nod, (iykyk) and then refocus my attention to getting the car started and getting the hell home.

  • Suddenly, there is banging on my passenger side window! I look back over and this lady is smacking the window open handed like a toddler, I can only assume she is an inebriated wedding guest as there was a wedding at the resort that evening.

  • I roll down the window mostly to get her to stop, and partially because | was startled and wondering what the hell was going on.

  • Me: passive-aggressive customer service voice"Hi!!? Do you need something?" Lady: "CAN YOUOU GIVE ME A RIIIIOIIDE??!?!" Mind you, this is a 4 star resort, very posh, in a very pricey tourist town.

  • There are at least two bell-people about 10ft away, not to mention the front desk staff inside.

  • She could have EASILY procured help with securing transportation, whether it be Uber or a taxi or a private driver.

  • The service I'm hired for is always scheduled at least a week in advance, it's a small high- end company, and is definitely not a ride service.
    via wildgreentree
  • The vehicle I drive is not marked besides legal licencing numbers, so my brief interaction with my passengers was the only reason she had any idea I was hired to drive.
    via wildgreentree
  • Me: "I'm SO sorry, but I am a private driver and I'm not authorized to allow unscheduled passengers in the vehicle.
    via wildgreentree
  • I'm sure the hotel staff would be more than happy to help you arrange transportation!" Lady: scowls and looks taken back "That'sss STUPID!
    via wildgreentree
  • UGH! Whatever!!* She turned back to her friend, and as I was rolling up the window I heard this lady mocking me to her friend "iMa PRIVATE DriveR!
    via wildgreentree
  • I CAN'T tAke YOU!" I just rolled my eyes and drove away, the window was up and I know better than to engage with stupid, especially when combined with int cation.
    via wildgreentree
  • But still! I could have been a guest at the hotel dropping the rest of the group off, I could have raised a big stink about it, hell I could have been ill with fever and escalated everything!
    via wildgreentree
  • Obviously I didn't because she didn't actually harm the car and honestly I was tired and just wanted to get home after a long day.
    via wildgreentree
  • But still! The entitlement of it all!!!
