What is an uber pool? I am imagining some sort of German engineering wonder.
I was wondering too. Wouldn’t the water get spilled in the turns?
Just gonna leave this here. Should be able to watch the episode on Netflix

You’re clearly joking, but for the unaware, “Uber” is a crowdsource taxi/rideshare service. An “Uber pool” is similar to a carpool. Where you share the vehicle with other riders. Making the “Uber” vehicle, aka, someone else’s car, into what is essentially a bus.
I’ve heard rumors that Uber is even talking about having drivers run a set route… Like buses do.
We’ve come full circle.
It’s a cheaper option, to allow your uber to “carpool”, I.E. Your uber can pick up other passengers heading in the same direction to be more efficient, thus justifying your discount.
You can see why it’d be a jerk move to then get mad at the other passengers, who had no idea who they’d be pooling with, and how insane it would be to use it on the way to your wedding.
Isn’t it ironic, like somebody getting in your uber pool on your wedding day!
Or like picking up passengers when you’re already late
Oops, meant to call tinder pool
On grindr we call that Steve’s glory hole
Let them be mad and laugh at them. You can’t fix stupid.
Probably not even true. That’s the great thing about rituals like marriage, you get to make up whatever rules you like but it sucks when someone calls you on your bs
Pro-tip: take the bus next time. Who am I addressing? Yes.
That’s what my wife and I did
Trust me, any public transport would be great but even in liberal states we’re seeing large fund cuts. The public bus stop 5 min from my house that went straight to the tram that goes downtown is now a 30 min walk that goes to a diff tram station that goes to my regular tram station which goes downtown. 1.5 hours to go 15 miles, I’ll uber. Or in summer months I’ll ride my bike to the close tram.
I can’t wait to move to the city….
Hey, have you heard of Strong Towns? They’re an activist group that’s largely focused on helping people influence local policy to build better, human-focused cities with more housing, more opportunities, and fewer cars. I’m working with them to try and make my city better, and while I can’t say it’s easy, I can say it feels like a worthwhile use of my time and efforts.
This screenshot is so old this couple is probably with one kid and in the middle of a divorce for they never knew how to set healthy boundaries.
I still reckon it was probably a fake story created to get people talking about the existence of that service. i.e. an ad.
Choosy beggar shit
Made up /r/funny shit
I don’t remember Uber being very good at explaining what the different tiers even mean. Maybe they thought it was a fancy car with a pool inside.
on the one hand, that’s dumb.
on the other hand, that doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.
is this real from the show or AI? lol
It’s from the show, but they changed the name. On the side it actually says, “Springfield Pool-Mobile.”
Nothing wrong with choosing Uber pool for your wedding if you’re in to that. I’d do it and party with a kind stranger.
But don’t be mad about someone joining then
100% didn’t happen
The final time I ever called an Uber pool was when the driver picked up 4 people even though the passenger had indicated 3, and then expected me to squeeze into the backseat of a sedan with 3 other people. I basically became one with those people. Never again.
And everybody clapped
I don’t think that means what you think that means.

Was the driver in any way looking like a migrant whilst doing their job too? Poor driver likely got it in the neck from them too

Next time when the Uber accepts the ride, hit the message button and tell em “Hi, I’M CARRYING A DOG”, at least they can cancel the ride right then and there instead of driving over to you to cancel.
It’s silly but drivers can be all sorts of clueless
Muslim drivers and some other cultures also want nothing to do with dogs.
i thought that was pigs
If i don’t want pigs in my car that doesn’t mean I hate pigs.
There are a number of animals considered unclean and most of it goes back to which animals had diseases before modern agriculture and veterinary practises. I.e pigs used to be riddled with tape worm. Dogs were often carriers of other parasites and if wild likely rabid. There’s some common sense behind it historically but most modern practitioners don’t think about those things.
They don’t like dogs either.
It’s wild that you can’t just request stuff like that in the app. Same with needing a child seat
I think you can? The drivers just weren’t paying attention.
Idk, I can’t in bolt at least
Perhaps they meant that the drivers don’t get some prompt for requesting normal rides, pet rides, pooled rides, etc.
What??
I’ve driven for Uber before, the driver app is buggy as all hell and I persinally refuse to do pet trips as they are so few and far between in my area that it really only hurts me if I want to make a steady income doing normal rides for the day. I frequently will open the app to see it randomly will toggle on pet rides and package deliveries despite me never trying to sign up for those services. The wrost part is as a driver, you have 10 seconds WHILE driving to accept of or deny the request so the only thing I can safely quickly look at is the ammount I am being offered for the trip and the estimated trip distance to make sure that ammount is worth my time. Once you accept a ride, you can see 0 information about that ride until you drop off your current rider, once the first rider is out, the only information for the next trip uber gives you is the pick up location and the name of the account. It’s put me in a lot of akward situations where someone ordered a pet ride and I show up and say they can’t have thier pet to find out they did in fact pay for Uber pets but Uber decided I was a Pet and package driver that day as well despite again NEVER signing up for those additional services.I feel loke not enough people actually sign up to do those and Uber tries to trick the drivers into accepting those kind of rides and once they realize it was a pet ride they canceled. As bad as that was for you, I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if you were also experincing Ubers own issues with drivers first hand there.
