Sometimes, ride-sharing can turn into a nightmare faster than you can say “five-star rating”. 🚨

For Andrew Greenman, a deaf individual battling stage 4 cancer, an Uber ride became a terrifying ordeal that would make even the most chill Bay Area tech worker’s blood run cold. Picture this: a driver desperately searching for a bathroom, driving in wild circles, and then - wait for it - randomly abandoning his passenger in the middle of nowhere. 🤯

When Ride-Sharing Goes Wrong

Greenman’s experience reads like a true crime podcast episode. The driver, seemingly consumed by a bathroom emergency, stopped multiple times, ignored passenger requests, and then proceeded to lock Greenman in the car while repeatedly running into the woods. Can we talk about unprofessional?

The Aftermath

After this horrifying experience, Uber’s initial response was laughable - a mere $5 credit. Yes, you read that right. Five. Whole. Dollars. As if trauma could be compensated with less money than a fancy Bay Area coffee. 🙄

Justice (Sort Of) Served

Thanks to persistent advocacy and media intervention, Uber eventually refunded both rides and issued a $50 credit. They also promised to investigate the driver. But let’s be real - this feels more like damage control than genuine accountability.

The takeaway? Always trust your instincts, document everything, and never be afraid to speak up when something feels wrong. Tech might be our playground, but safety should always come first. 💪
