It makes me love you more. If I didn’t matter you wouldn’t have texted. You would have texted me back.

I can’t live with the silence, though.

With all my fear and circumstance, why am I the one with the courage?

Theres a reason neither can end this. But it’s a stalemate until you try my love.

We can’t keep lashing out like broken children because we matter and we spark.

My can of fix a flat is missing and the rural store is selling it for $18.

I was literally on my way to a crisis therapist when this happened.

I have PayPal and cash app as my options. I don’t trust my brain in this state to download anything else.

My last customer put the wrong address down.

If you don’t do what they did you might actually get your food. In this situation a driver is under no obligation to fix it.

I first let them know by texting the pin is wrong so it’s going to take me a minute to pull up Google Maps and see why.

Customer doesn’t want to give me the minute. OK. So I’m trying to work around the texts. Maps also shows the address doesn’t exist.

I send a screenshot asking if this is correct. They have been pissy in the texts.

They say YES! But they also tell me the name and the address is WRONG.

To the tune of 3 extra miles when this order was already my bare minimum.

They are texting like crazy while I contact customer service. Apologies now but they weren’t very understanding when they thought I was confused.

Customer Service was excellent and I left it where the pin was.

If you put the wrong address down it’s a pain in the ass that we need customer service to fix.

If you blow up my phone with an attitude while I’m wasting MY time fixing YOUR mistake you are blocked.

I sent a follow up text because they also required selfie verification while I was being spammed with crap I couldn’t pause at drop off.

I mentioned it’s unsafe to be stuck at *any* drop off for ten minutes because it looks sketchy and some customers have guns.

The Safety Team interpreted this as my current customer threatening me with a gun and suspended them.

WTF?!! Uber won’t reply back. It’s been two hours and I’m still crying.

So I had to call the police because I know I’d report that shit if it was me.

I can’t contact the customer unless I knock on their door and that would piss me off, too.

This is a good customer I deliver to on multiple platforms.

I‘m supposed to be at Mental Health now. Not in worse shape because Uber AI/Support lacks basic reading comprehension skills.

So be very, very careful you idiot proof your correspondence when making a safety complaint.

They lack all nuance.

Unassign, lol.

Yeah, not taking a hit to my pay and stats on a busy Saturday.

I made sure to let the customer know an alternative store and the reasons *why* I had to unassign.

Contract, my ass: pay goes down.

Independent contractor , same: why did I have to contact CUSTOMER SERVICE to unassign?!!

I was in a different location on a different pick up by the time I actually was, lol.

It’s time I give up and move on.

The truth won’t change your perceptions.

Love won’t change your behavior.

The only reason I didn’t go to you is because I needed to talk. You made it clear you are not my therapist. It‘s just exhausting to walk on the eggshells of knowing you’ll let me in to your heart for the night, let me feel your love and then ghost me in the morning after promising this time is different. People only in it for the sex don’t act like you do.

You tell me the harshest things so it takes me days to notice the message underneath.

But it’s all my fault, right?

I‘m taking the first man I vibe with who treats me with respect and honesty. I’ll be on tinder next month and won’t pussy out this time. Because as much as I love you, I give the fuck up. It’s always me who bends.

You’ll want me then but I‘ll only remember that those two things were beyond you and there will be no choice.

I’m not waiting any longer. Your version of reality tells me you don't know me at all when the truth of me is obvious to people who have spent a fraction of the time.

I don’t want another man I have to Mother.

PTSD had me in a constant state of fear but you are the coward.

It breaks my heart I did all the work again and you’re throwing a tantrum.

I’m too honest for the lies.

You make me wish I was at least 10 years younger and biologically capable of giving you your dream.

You are genuinely one of the best humans I’ve ever met. I look forward to a long friendship that hopefully includes watching your family grow.

It‘s been a while since a man has been that protective of me because of who they are and not what they want to possess.

I‘m grateful because the positive of your interactions overshadowed all the negatives I’d been drowning in. It made me realize, I have friends in spite of the isolating. There’s only one place I want to call home.

I reframed my thinking accordingly and look who’s getting shit done with the most amazing advocates.

Dude, you rock!!

Finding kindred is the greatest blessing.

Why is my abuser so stupid they use their own fucking name on a government report? Is your ego so massive that you don’t realize it’s now an obvious pattern? Officers tend to get pissed when you use them to harass.

I mean, if you‘re going to go to the trouble of conspiracy level shit, use your damn brain.

The last one nearly ended me but I was in awe of her intellect.

It really sucks that I can’t just ignore it and now i have to report this when I need to concentrate on finding a place tomorrow.

If I was a similar type of human, you handed me grounds for the restraining order I already qualified for on a silver platter.

You won a game I wasn’t playing. I’d rather be happy where I belong with these amazing humans I’ve learned to call my friends.

Oh, we figured out you were fucking with my texts, too.

So sure you are in the right, you left evidence *everywhere*.

Idiot.

Made herself sick trying to make herself understood.

I will not be texting back without an actual apology that shows true remorse.

Reddit doesn’t count in Real Life.

It pays to tip well.

I got a stack and I had been paying attention.

Declined a $4 previously that got bundled with a $10 in 10 minutes order.

I‘ll be damned if I add another 20 to a good customer’s wait time😂.

Gotta love this business model: If you decline this $4 order we’ll make you take it for $2 and punish a great customer with soggy food.

My stats took a hit, too. Because that’s how it works.

I‘m interested to know if anyone’s tried to sue them over the fact that as an independent contractor we should only have to decline ONCE unless they offer more compensation.

Those damn songs won’t stop playing.

Your pull is overwhelming.

Not my problem to solve.

Not my place to reach out.

You chose this path.

You chose how you acted when I let you in.

You chose the adventure.

If you had treated me with care I would have never left your side.

Only one of us is lonely.

In spite of the crowds.

You never do the work.

I was mad to think you would try.

What strangers find easy.
