Drivers have a list of unspoken crimes. Forgetting to wear a mask post-pandemic still makes them twitch. Eating something that smells like a science experiment gone wrong is a fast track to a four-star review. And never—I repeat, never—ask to use their phone charger without asking first. That’s like asking to borrow someone’s toothbrush; you just don’t do it.

One time, I accidentally left a half-eaten bag of chips in a car. The driver gave me a 4.2. I saw it when I checked the next day and nearly cried into my coffee. Now I treat every ride like a first date: no messy snacks, no loud music, and definitely no discussing my ex’s conspiracy theories.
The 4.0 and below club
Below 4.0, you’re basically a legend in the wrong way. You’ve either argued about the route, slammed the door so hard the car shook, or—God forbid—asked the driver to wait while you “just grab one thing” from your apartment for fifteen minutes. If you’re down here, you might as well wear a t-shirt that says, “I treat strangers like unpaid therapists.” I once saw a friend’s rating of 3.8 and immediately re-evaluated our entire friendship. We still hang out, but I always offer to drive.
The funny part? Uber drivers can actually decline rides based on ratings. So if you’re under 4.5, you might notice your wait times getting mysteriously longer. It’s like the universe’s way of saying, “You know why, Karen.”
