I don’t think he’s knocking you for what you do. Rather, he’s pointing out how awful the dealer experience is for most people. Personally, if I ever had to talk to another dealer again, I’d likely use a service like the one you provide.

Woman is harassed and disrespected and of course anything that comes of it is her fault. How about he should have known that HIS actions could have consequences and not done this and then never be subject to 1/millionth of the abuse she was subject to because she spoke up about his harassment? If you fuck with someone…
Gawd, you’re tiresome.
She describes feeling threatened in her post- he got in her personal space. It’s not reaching. You don’t have the right to intimidate people in public- even if they’re a celebrity! And again- she didn’t incite people to go after this guy. She shared a personal story that is ubiquitous amongst women - facing street…
This is an instance that has a real nice smack of “the punishment fits the crime” to it. Think a famous person isn’t responding to you like she should be? Think that you as a fan have the right to insist things from her or treat her a certain way because she is famous?
The death threats he received aren’t her fault- they’re the fault of the internet mob, which was equally vicious to her when she tried to explain how much the incident scared her and why she won’t be taking fan photos (with some exceptions) anymore. You keep conveniently forgetting that he threatened and harassed her…
Yeah god forbid she stands up for herself as a woman- women are harassed like this all the time, and I’m betting this is far from the first rude, scary person who she’s had to deal with. I don’t blame her for freaking out and deciding enough is enough and sharing her story.
All I’m thinking here is that this guy quickly found out how hard it is to be famous. The reactions to her original post explaining that she felt threatened were downright horrifying to read- people called her a stuck up bitch and a fatty who should be happy for the attention. Plus, it’s not like she isn’t getting…
I love both those movies. Empire Records was THE slumber party movie of eighth grade, and each of my friends had a different favorite guy. And my husband and I have matching Loveburger shirts. As far as I'm concerned,Can’t Hardly Wait is the perfect teen movie.
Dude, Bobby! Why are you shitting on Can’t Hardly Wait and Empire Records?! I just want you to know I have both of those on DVD and watch them each about once a year. Still good. So good. Ethan Embry forever!
Like I said, it’s not ever driver. Nor every time. Just cross the bloody street or is walking 15 feet beyond your physical and mental capabilities?
It pisses me off for the same reason as calling those stupid things hoverboards does: it’s not fucking true. Restaurants aren’t food-sharing businesses; they cook, I pay & eat. Foot Locker isn’t a shoe-sharing business; they sell shoes, I pay & walk. Uber (et al) isn’t a ride-sharing business; they drive, I pay &…
$5 private ride in a nice SUV? Sounds sustainable (and like a hell of a great deal for the drivers)!
This just means that from the next time I will insist that the driver pick me up from the exact pin on the map, not just park in the vicinity. You don’t get to say you have “arrived” till you actually do. Normally I don’t mind it, because what is the big deal in walking over? But if you are going to charge me for it,…
It’s a ridesharing service
This is exactly what I was thinking. At least half the time I have this issue where my uber is on the wrong side of the street or wrong corner of the block from the pin I planted and I have to walk over. Long blocks with a lot of traffic make it hard to cross to them quickly sometimes.
What about the time when I order a Uber and the driver parks on the other side of the road, and I have to cross the road at the nearest signal? Do I get charged for that? This has happened before.
I gave up on Uber after my second ride. The first was in NYC, and it wasn’t great - the car was fine, but the driver was obviously not as skilled at working Midtown as he needed to be. But the second ride... in Austin... the kid (he might have been 18) picked us up in a shitty car, and proceeded to alternately talk on…
“We’re going to charge you for making us wait.”
