And to add, people (mostly millenials) are either incredibly lazy or incredibly clueless on DC's layout.  I have given hundreds of rides around DC that were less than a mile.  I've given a few dozen rides that were at the most five blocks.   If you're a healthy adult, you should have no problem walking a mile and a half in under 30 minutes without cracking a sweat, especially if you're walking southward in DC (it's downhill).[/b]  But like I said, I have no problem doing short rides IF the rider doesn't make me wait on them to come out.  On my end, one-mile trip works out to be $3+ per mile.

If your driver goes above and beyond the norm like bringing a phone/purse back that you left in the car, helps you load a bunch of heavy luggage/shopping/grocery bags, helps you move your coffee table in their ride that you were too cheap to rent a truck/U-Haul for, or is out driving you where you need to go in treacherous conditions, please tip accordingly.

I get what you are saying but in my defense, I regularly use Uber downtown when I'm in a suit and heels. I don't want to arrive at my meeting sweating and those heels are killer on the feet! Thanks for the AMA.

PS - as a GWU alum - thanks for your kind words![/quote]

Totally fine, this one I get.  And there are lots of little trips around downtown like this.  Don't make your driver wait on you and it'll all be kosher.

The dinky rides that blow my mind are then ones when someone hops in with sweats and sneakers on only to ride a half-mile down the street to the gym...wtf?  These ones are your future leaders of America, lol.[/quote]
