u/3DBass

Last night started off pretty normal. Started around 9pm first ride was typical pickup from 30th Street Station (Amtrak) in Philly. Drop off was about 7 minutes away.

Next ride was two women from a restaurant near Independence Mall to University of Penn area.

Then it got interesting.

Pickup was a few minutes away from University of Penn area to the Philadelphia Museum of Art rear entrance probably about 6-7 minutes from pickup. I’ve had several pickups and drop offs here of pickup people attending private events and regular business so the rear entrance is not unusual. The front entrance are the Rocky Steps.

So the passenger was on the phone the whole ride it sounded like she was slurring her words so she was probably drunk or high.

So when we get to the drop off she doesn’t get out. So a few seconds go by and I say this is it right? She says where are we? I said your destination. She says this isn’t right. I say this is the destination you put in. Can you take me to this such and such street? I said no you’ll have to order another Lyft. She says I’m not getting out here.

This area was well lit and there were other vehicles there that may have been ride share.

We keep going back and forth and she still won’t get out. She claims she ordered another Lyft that will be there in 8 minutes I tell her I can’t wait here I have to keep working. She was on the phone with someone guy telling him that I’m telling her to get out of his car. She acted like we were at some dark water front dock. We were at one of the most famous buildings in the country.

She finally gets out but won’t close the door. I tell her please close my door. She says I’m just trying to make sure I have my keys. I said Miss your keys are in your hand.

This is when I got out to shut the door. As I go to get back in she opens the door again. I close it again for good get in and drive off. I immediately reported the incident to Lyft support and text chatted with someone I guess was human.

After my shift I checked my dash cam video and the entire incident was recorded.

Pre game Show:
From checking the video I see that the ride before this the two women from the restaurant were making out in my back seat.

I have stickers on my passenger windows advising that I’m recording in my vehicle.
As soon as the ride starts one woman hopped up right up on the other. Kissing and fingers in mouths etc. 🤷🏽‍♂️. Once I confirm the name and the doors are shut I can’t tell what’s going on back there.

This happened a few nights ago.

I had picked up a rider from 30th Street Station here in Philly which is the Amtrak Station. Now they are doing a lot of construction in and around the station so the pickup locations change sometimes daily sometimes after a certain hour. This pick up was on the East Side of the station. So after the drop off which was 5-6 minutes my next ride was back to the station.

Based on the time of night it’s not unusual for the station to switch ride share pick ups to the West side in a matter of minutes.

So it seemed that my next pick up at the station was going to be on the West so I headed to the West side but as I got close the map showed the rider’s location was on the East side but moving towards the West side.

As I coming up to the entrance of the West side I see this woman being chased and this guy screaming at her. She runs to towards my car and I realize this is my passenger I unlock the door and she jumps in the car. I had my hand on my Brooklyn Shorty Cold Steel mini bat in case this guy tried to get in the car to get her. He backed off and I just pulled off. She was terrified. If I had gone to the East side of the station I wouldn’t have been there for her.

The guy looked like he could be Jack Black’s twin brother. Shit was crazy.

This woman came close to hitting me head on as she was getting on the interstate off ramp as I was getting off. I 76 West in Philly. I was getting off at the South Street ramp she was getting on the off ramp. Thank God she wasn’t gunning it or it could’ve been over. I’m still fucked up.

I reported a left behind child’s sippy cup to the rider in a support chat. Chat now says closed. So that’s it right? Because I’m tired of this cup rolling around the back of my SUV. 😂😂
