Have a feeling it is that low due to not putting up with ridiculous driver (them: I am in the alley; me: please come around to the front of the building, etc.)
I HATE this. It's so unprofessional, but I guess the point of Uber is that they are not professional drivers. I took a long Uber last weekend (Capitol Hill to Van Ness) and literally the guy almost go into 4 accidents due to erratic driving. But my biggest pet peeve is when they literally refuse to drive to the address that you ENTERED INTO THE APP. Yesterday I had a guy waiting around the corner. I could see him, but I refused to walk over (because that would put us in the wrong direction where we were headed, resulting in either a longer trip due to going out of the way, or having to put up wit their horrible driving antics as they try to do a U turn in a busy intersection.) He acted put upon because I made him drive to the actual address where I was supposed to be picked up.
My second biggest pet peeve is that drivers don't bother to pull over safely to the side of the road when dropping off or picking up. Literally they stop in the middle of the road, which is unsafe and blocks traffic.
Third pet peeve is them taking off before I have my 5 year old strapped in to the seatbelt. To stop that I leave the door open while I am buckling him in.
It's actually gotten to the point where I think Uber is affirmatively unsafe and am going to switch to an app that hails taxis (I hear there are a couple of them). I typically take Uber 1-2x week with my child and don't think it's safe anymore.
