Drivers are unsung heroes. Whether they’re actual taxi drivers, or they work for services like Lyft or Uber, they should be treated with respect. After all, they’re the ones that are carting you around when you can’t do it yourself for whatever reason! So even if you’re drunk as a skunk, you need to be cool to your driver. This woman in St. Petersburg, Florida definitely was NOT cool to her Lyft driver.
Back on April 29th, Lyft driver Michelle Jennings picked up the rather intoxicated 28-year-old Stephanie Young. Young was a problem from the beginning. First, she pulled off part of the seat cover of Jennings’ car and used it to blow her nose. She then told Jennings that she did that because she was not offered something to blow her nose with. But it seems like she never asked. Not surprisingly, Jennings told Young that her ride was over, even though they were still a half-mile from the destination. Young didn’t take kindly to this and began spitting on and hitting the driver. Jennings eventually flagged down a security officer in a parking lot and ask for the police to be called.
As a result, Young has been banned form using Lyft again and could face charges for her actions. Jennings ended up with a bloody nail and a few patches of hair missing because of the whole ordeal.
So please. Be cool to your driver! They’re working for you!
