I'm nothing if not a partaker in the beauty that is the "Uber Pool" ride. In doing so I've noticed that there are times when other Pool riders have gotten a tad bit snippy at the prospect of having to sit in the damn car with the likes of me. I've detected a bit of chippyness from other partakers of the Uber pool ride. They have that look like damn "I thought I was going to be riding alone". It's an Uber Pool ride dickface. You click on Uber pool for the cheap ass rate then act as though you are supposed to get the exclusivity of the Uber X ride. Don't work like that.

The funny looks might be due to you saying Israel shouldn’t exist and Joel Embiid is the best player in basketball.

Yeah you'd have thought Brick was in the car but the person wasn't opposed to me saying "Just give Carmelo the damn ball and get the hell out the way" nor were they upset "at me saying Etwaun Moore stinks".

Judicious use of uberpool from Norwood Park has served me well. Have yet to share any rides.

I haven't used Pool yet because I usually use Uber/Lyft for work trips. But I bet that most people with that "what is this sharing shit?" look are ones too inept to understand the user interface and just picking the default option.

Used Uber Pool MANY times with no issues. Only one time did I have an incident, and Uber ended up righting their wrong.

Quote:
I didn't know if this was a complain, brag, or a bit of both. Anyway...

I took an Uber on St Patricks Day. I had been out for most of the day and had MANY beers. I wasn't completely out of it, but had been dropped off at a friends not too far from my house and fully intended to take an Uber home. I was in the car for 13 minutes. It was an Uber Pool, and about a mile from my place the driver picked up two other guys. One sat in back next to me, the other had to be helped into the front seat. Five minutes later, I am dropped off with no issues.

Saturday I get an email from Uber that they charged me $80 to have the drivers car cleaned. I was floored. Sure I wasn't sober, but I didn't have any food with me, my shoes weren't muddy, and I didn't puke so I have no idea how I get charged for the mess. I log into the Uber app to explain that this was a pool and that one of the other riders must have made the mess. We go back and forth and most of the explanation I get is about Uber policies and blah blah..all of which I understand. One of the last replies is about pictures of the mess that the driver sent in. I asked what part of the car was messed up. Uber says the front seat. I explain that I was sitting in the rear passenger seat so clearly the mess was not my fault. I suggest they check with my driver to confirm this and if Uber refuses I will dispute the charge with my credit card company.

Today I got an email that my $80 will be refunded.

I may start using Uberpool in the hopes of getting a ride with LTG. Dman: "Thibs is a top five NBA head coach. I am sorry he left."

I mistakenly pressed poll one time while drunk and had a very pleasant ride with two Spaniards. I was speaking to them in their native tongue but I don't speak Spanish.

I'm pretty sure it is the first time you use the app. After that, I think it defaults to highlight what you used last time.
