Is this Day three of Facecrack? I've kinda lost count. I don't wake up and it's the first thing I check. One person outside from the six I've told has noticed. They texted me and asked if I'd blocked them. I don't block anyone. Well, that's not entirely true but you have to do a lot for me to click that button.
Had a very interesting Lyft night.
Also had my first contract violation with them but it was taken off pretty quickly. I went to go pick up a Lyft ride in Gastonia and the older lady, her son, Daughter, and grandson get in the car. Now, my screen says I'm picking them up taking them just outside of McAdenville and taking them home. Before I can even question how asinine that sounds to me, the older woman says to one of the younger adults that they're going to have to wake up the grandson because he's going to miss the lights. Big honking screeching sound in my heads. Wait a minute.... Your stop is the McAdenville lights??? And she says yes. With a dead ass straight face this ditzy ass white woman looks me in the eye and tells me that they've books a Lyft to go through McAdenville to see the lights. I told her no and that I was cancelling the ride. Now the young man, (I'm assuming was her son in law because the girl looked a bit ike her and had the same clueless why is this lady mad face as her mother.) looks like he wants to say "see, I told you this was a shitty idea." and he starts to get back out holding the still thankfully sleeping little boy. Mom is angry. Why won't I take them to see the lights?
Now if it had been a Monday thru Thursday I would probably have not had as big a deal with this run but Saturday night at 7 pm, the line just to get into McAdenville is about a one to two hour wait. Then you can't really get through it speedily because the normal 25 mph speed limit is kinda reduced to like 2 because people want to see everything. So picking them up at 7, we might have gotten into the lights around 8 maybe 8:30 gotten through them by 8:45-9:15 and then back to the house. So looking at a minimum of about two hours with this family in my car.
For $13.09. Oh no, you don't need to go back and read that again. The whole trip would have paid me $13.09. See when you add a stop to a Lyft, I'm supposed to get there, wait up to 5 minutes and then continue on. If this had been a normal Lyft that whole trip might have taken 20 minutes but nooooooo they want to catch a Lyft to see the lights. Not a Lyft to get out and walk the lights and call a Lyft on the other side, not they wanted me to take them through the lights. No. No. Nah. Hell no.
She called Lyft and complained. But I beat her to the punch because the moment I drove off I was on the phone with customer service and they guy was like why did you cancel the stop was approximately five or somewhat miles from the start and destination. While he's talking to me, her complaint comes through. She emailed it in. She told them I flat out refused to take them anywhere. I don't think she gave a reason just that I refused. So now, I'm explaining to the operator and the very best thing I can tell him is of he had google he'd understand. But I did tell him that they didn't want an actual stop stop, she wanted her "stop" to be going through this three miles town at two freaking miles per hour. Now I don't know if he googled it or what but he put me on hold and came back less than two minutes later and said not to worry about it, they were going to handle this and it wouldn't affect me.
Also, not sure if I mentioned it last night, but my heat is busted in my car so Mommy bought me a little dashboard heater. It was working really well, and then it wasn't. I thought I blew a fuse because the whole cigarette outlet is toast now. I stopped by Auto Zone today and pulled the "Im a woman and only know that car go zoom" face and he went in and got the fuse only to show me that it wasn't blown. So now I have a way bigger problem. Yay.
I really need my night meds to kick in. Toodles for the night, I'm going to lay down.
