Uber question - I ended up cancelling last night, and then disputed the $5 cancellation charge. But, here's why: - Andie Aug 10, 10:51 16
- perfectly fine -- nm - Epiphany Aug 10, 11:04
- why do you not use lyft? just curious. -- nm - amanda jones state university Aug 10, 11:03 4
  - No reason really. Just started using Uber and never had a reason to switch. -- nm - Andie Aug 10, 11:03 3
    - everyone in town is very "boycott uber." when someone is like "oh, I'm going to call an uber" people gasp audibly. (everyone means lyft. they just say -- (edited) - amanda jones state university Aug 10, 11:05 2
      - Interesting. That backlash does not exist here (at least, not yet.) -- nm - Andie Aug 10, 11:06 1
        
        We don't have either one here, but I boycotted uber when I was travelling in the US. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 11:20

- Yes, I would totally dispute given those circumstances. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 10, 10:55
- There's a cancellation charge on Uber? -- nm - Mop Aug 10, 10:54 3
  - If you cancel after more than 5 minutes after you confirm your order. -- nm - Andie Aug 10, 10:55 2
    - So the longer the Uber takes to get to you, the more likely you'll be penalized for not accepting the long wait? Crazy. -- nm - Mop Aug 10, 10:59 1
      - Not really. When i accept the fee it tells me how long my wait is, If I thought it was too long, I could cancel right away and it would be fine. - Andie Aug 10, 11:02

Snitch poll! Let's say CCTV showed a coworker pushing a lady in front of a bus while jogging, would you call the police? What about your cousin? BIL? - Guigue Aug 10, 10:43 16

        (well, battery in the UK) -- nm - Roger More Aug 10, 11:13
  - I think the lady in the video was not seriously injured, but she was almost hit by a bus due to the guy's action -- nm - Guigue Aug 10, 10:47 2
    - Yeah, even if she wasn't hurt, he put her life at risk. -- nm - Roger More Aug 10, 11:00 1
      - the bus driver deserves a metal -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 10, 11:44
