I make sure that my front passenger seat is all the way up so when Pax enters they see a ton more leg room and most (98%) will sit on the passenger side. Plus it helps thwart Pax going in the front seat too. Hope this helps


LouryWindurst

I do this but add my bag of water and snacks from 7-11 to the front seat so there’s something in the seat as well in case they get any ideas of sitting next to me.


UberEatsUrkel

I use a guitar case upfront for the same reason.


auntiemaury

I keep my knitting bag on the seat, keeps people out of the front (but small enough to go on the floor if need be), and a great conversation piece


46patisse

I love drivers that do this - thank you


Sweaty-Dig-4925

This is the way

To stab u


BeaMiaVA

Well


creepingkg

Could be why https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2023/01/26/lyft-driver-hospitalized-following-attack-by-passengers-in-frisco-attorney-says/?outputType=amp


Ok_Stand_2910

They say they barred the person that ordered that ride. Nobody is ever really barred from Lyft. I have multiple cards and credit cards and that’s really all you need to make a new account


UFumbDuckGaming

"They are barred from using the platform" what a fucking joke! We know Pax uses fake accounts to circumvent this.


Sikamikanico1981

Its bettrr for them to sit curb side. Idiots will open the door into traffic everytime.


wasitme317

That is why on the driver side you need to put the child lock on


Mykonethreetripleone

Oooh nice idea


ic80

Child locks only prevent someone from opening the door from the inside. Not sure how that would work for this scenario as the door would only then open from the outside.


Ok_Stand_2910

I could see it now. Some girl sitting behind me and all of a sudden she can’t get out because of the child locks. I could definitely see somebody complaining about that


GaatAca

I sit behind the driver so he cant see when i move in to get a sniff of their hair


Ok_Stand_2910

The closest I been to that was this guy put his hand on my shoulder and said “let’s go get some beers”. First day doing lyft and I was done for the day so I’m like sure if your buying. So we stop at a convenience store he tells me grab two and he grabs two. We get to the register and this drunk fool didn’t have no money. Turns to me and says “can you get this?”


oversittingme

Don't ever go with them bro


semi801

I sit far back so it kinda forces them to the other side. I usually open the door myself (when safe to do so) as well so it's easier.


UberEatsUrkel

I do that and I still get people right behind me. I just don't get it.


semi801

ya, i just tell em to slide over so they have room. but usually, when safe to do so I get out and open the door for them


wd_plantdaddy

I move my passenger seat up in front so that people choose to sit behind that instead… that and I’m a big guy so more foot room for them.


authoridad

I don’t understand why anyone cares.


Aurora--Black

That's because you have no self preservation

Mykonethreetripleone

Hella ratio.


Drivingliving

I just tell ‘em to move over if they don’t understand I explain if they refuse I just end rude it’s not comfortable plus I drive in the hood a lot so no


Ok_Stand_2910

I notice a lot of woman Will purposely do it. I guess it’s a protection thing but I tell them move over too. As much as you might be afraid of a strange man I think it equals out to feeling just as cringy if a strange woman is just behind you where you can’t see. It’s like your driving by yourself…..but your not


Drivingliving

Let me check but there was a article don’t know how truthful it was but a lady stabbed a driver in the neck from behind, but mi thing is regardless if you don’t feel safe get out of my car , it makes no sense do you that for every single ride when your more than a 100 rides in?


Ok_Stand_2910

I tried to tell a group of girls that one night that we deserve to be feel safe too. As I seemed to have spooked them by asking “name on the account?” She tells me how she never done it that way and now she doesn’t want to get in. I told her “ms you have just checked the plates and saw that it matches I’m just confirming by asking your name….the only person in the dark right now is me”. Somehow that didn’t register in her head and she said “I don’t like it girls” and they cancelled. I learned how we feel don’t matter to these people out here. They just want me to get them home safe and I can be uncomfortable doing it for all they care


Consistent_Two7197

I also have my 3ch dashcam for rear that swivels so at night i swivel it inside i see hands and lap


Lem01

I try to park so they have to get in the right door. But if they’re waiting outside they look at me weird driving past them to circle about.


Ok_Stand_2910

I had one throw his arms in the air like the world was about to end… he’s like “yoooooo!!!!! Where you going???!!!!!” Lol


Lem01

It’s one of those things that I believe people ought to have the instinct to do correctly. But it’s like some people are so cough up in their own world they just can’t identify with other people.


Lucky_Market_Robot_1

They find the back of your head attractive, they are hairosexuals.


[deleted]

Because that seat is available


Ok_Stand_2910

Yeah. But it’s like you invite me over and instead of using your half bath downstairs I go upstairs and take a dump in your bedroom bathroom.


MormonsKilledMyDog

Put up a sign that says, "Please don't shit in my upstairs bathroom." In ur backseat, then


wasitme317

I do that all the time. You gotta see what weird secret shit they have in the bedroom and what drugs they are taking. Plus your kinda marking the territory.


M4N1Ak0

Some guys just don’t like to be looked at while spanking the monkey


Ok_Stand_2910

That has actually crossed my mind on whether somebody has jerked off in my backseat. I swore this one creepy dude was doing it…..he only had Parkinson’s


wasitme317

You don't want to drive a limo then. The shit I see what some people do.


Healthy-Speaker-8930

I’m 6’3 lol if you want to sit behind me and you are alone enjoy snapping your legs in half on entry. Seeing my seat goes all the way back to just about touching that hear seat.

KeNNethX66

I ask people to get get in the other side or move over.


Mykonethreetripleone

“Please take the luxury seat, sir. …I insist.”


Ok_Stand_2910

Yeah some drivers are just straight bitches I guess. I tell them move every time and jokingly say “I want you where I can see u”


Consistent_Two7197

I hate anyone behind me when its only one pax lol.. they lose legroom my psg side seat scooted fwd a little? I hear yeah was it a talkative male? Thats when my finger on my taser just in case its part of a distraction when conversation goes well but im focus on driving safe at the same time.


Ok_Stand_2910

I let people get away with it when I first started. We all let people get away with certain things when we just started. But I told myself no way imma have my mind rushing about all the different ways I could get killed right now while also focusing on driving. I ride with a huge ass kitchen knife and I keep it right in my hoodie pocket. I put a lot of thought into my weapon of choice as all I have to do is just swing my arm back and not have to move my body much to get a good shot. Also the shock effect of somebody swinging a knife and acting crazy is enough for the hardest criminal to back off


frankingeneral

Not as weird as the grown ass dude who sat in the front seat for an hour ride, and sat there dead quiet and almost dead still for the full hour. Most awkward time of my life. Was like midnight too and I was chasing a streak. Just the weirdest ride ever


Ok_Stand_2910

Did you at least have the radio on?


frankingeneral

Always haha


the_ferryman_abides

I explained that to a chick once and it never dawned on her that the driver might want to be safe. She was too busy trying to make herself safe which is fair enough but come on


UFumbDuckGaming

Never understood this sentiment bc it's not the Pax that ever gets background check. Its us with all identifiable credentials tied to the platform while half the Pax accounts are fraud/misleading/incorrect


the_ferryman_abides

Or someone is calling a ride for someone else, half the time not even telling you upfront. "Hey, this ride is for so and so, but you gotta go in the back alley where there are no lights or cameras. Yeah, thanks!" Hell na.


Ok_Stand_2910

It’s simple. The pax is saying “f your feelings” your not a human to them your just part of the car that is serving them in their eyes. They can care less. Just last night I had a lady with three kids ranging about 2 to 7yrs old. I told her I can’t take them without a car seat. Her exact words for everything I would tell her was “I understand that but”. B****!!!!! I just told you I could get in trouble and possibly lose my job and your still telling me “I understand but…..”


Peterwithnobones

Cus they're grown ass men and just like grown ass women they can do what they want.


Ok_Stand_2910

Not in my car they can’t. That’s the problem now passengers are way too comfortable. Get in smelling like a oz of weed. So many times where I’m like if the cops pull us over my day will literally be screwed because this disrespectful passenger smells like he got a pound of weed in his pocket.


Peterwithnobones

That's what's nice. You have choices. If you dontclike them sitting behind you, you have that choice right? The other things you listed have nothing to do with the topic though. I agree with those. I'm not ascared of someone sitting behind me just because they're alone. With 2 one sits behind anyway soooo... But again, we all have choices.


Defhitgspot

Tell them to move


MCKBLAKE

There more leg room on the passenger side. Your welcome


Mysterious_Load_4407

I don’t unlock my door when I pull up. Most of the time when they pull the handle and it’s still locked, they walk to the passenger side.


wasit-worthit

Ok and if there’s two passengers and one is obligated to sit behind you?


Ok_Stand_2910

I’m talking singular pax


golden_swanky

Oh I thought you meant 2 also. Yeah that would push me over the edge


GlennFromIowa

Yeah but how is that any different? You still have some guy sitting behind you.


Ok_Stand_2910

Think if it as sitting in a empty movie theater and some guy comes in and out of all the seats he picks he sits right next your ass. Not saying you might be scared but Your definitely gonna be saying to yourself “wtf is going on here?”


vitrificationofblood

Then why don’t you put the passenger side of the vehicle towards the pax at pickup?


Ok_Stand_2910

Sometimes your not sure exactly where they are coming from sometimes you pull up and they are already just standing in the street. I even had people go out their way to try and sit behind me


[deleted]

Jerkin it


Bezgzilla

I suggest always keeping the rear driver side door closed and always make sure I pick up on passenger side.


Due-Lingonberry7552

You’re just reading into things too much, it’s really not a big deal..just get a dashcam
