41 5 stars, 1 4 star and 1 3 star. I’m sure the 3 star was in Toronto, the guy was so completely inept, continuously missed turns and put me tight for a flight at Pearson. I never said a word but he knew I was frustrated. I still think I gave him a 4, jerk.

Meh. If I see something on Amazon with an abundance of 5 star ratings and a handful of morons rating 1 and 2 stars, I'm still buying the thing. Probably the small number of idiots who I had to tell them how to get where they were going, missed their turns and were annoyed I didn't tell them how to do their jobs, etc. [shrug]

I'm not a vindictive person, but I'm going to find those who rated me 4 and burn their houses down.

I was at the MJ musical last night and the woman a couple seats to my side was singing along. Unbelievable. I glared at her several times and she was just oblivious. People are not there to hear your terrible rendition of these songs, and you’re not watching a movie at home! To top it off, they had some versions that were slightly different, so she didn’t know the words or timing. Not that this would’ve made it acceptable anyway, but it was appallingly ignorant.

My sister was called out for singing at a movie. It was a musical, I forget which one.

AI Overview

In general, singing out loud at a movie or a traditional theatrical show is considered poor etiquette and is widely discouraged unless it is an explicitly advertised sing-along screening. The primary consensus is that it is disruptive to other patrons who have paid to hear the professional performers, not the audience members.

I’m firmly in the STFU camp. It’s like shouting out the punchline at a comedy club. If you can’t control yourself and it feels to stifling to sing along, stay home.

I’m sure at least one of my eight 1 star reviews was from when my buddy was full on arguing with the Uber guy about road beers. My buddy’s stance was the reason we take Ubers was so we could have road beers, his point had some merit, Uber guy didn’t see it that way.

Probably because the Uber driver knew that an open alcohol container in most vehicles is illegal, no matter who's drinking it.

I think there are many young people these days who would benefit by a lesson on how to dress for the occasion. I was out last night to a fine dining restaurant and there were young people in tattered jeans, rough looking shirts, hair all over the place. etc. Alongside women in evening gowns, and men with suit and ties. Even a nice sweater and pressed pair of pants would go a long way to look presentable.

Presentable to who? Random strangers that they don’t care about?

I stayed quiet during this guy’s tour de Calgary, but figured it was better than trying to correct him, even when I see him not preparing to make. I assume the drivers don’t like that? Maybe I should have said something to him.

I have no idea about the first 1 star. Probably when we first started using it and thought it was like a taxi so weren’t standing on the curb all ready to jump in and go.

4.57

5 - 18
4 - 1
3 - 0
2 - 0
1 - 2

I see it as more of a guideline. Just as most people see the posted speed limit as a guideline.

Traveling over the posted limit = illegal
Open bottle of fireball in the golf bag = illegal
Too many rock chips in windshield = illegal
Driving while intoxicated = really illegal, go to jail illegal.

Uber driver was in the right, my friend was an idiot for arguing.

Your buddy should have a beer with my buddy. He’s an idiot. My idiot buddy made fun of a girls purse for some reason and some guy with a teardrop under his eye comes over and sucker slaps the side of his head. He would have killed him. Broke it up and calmed it down. Such an idiot.

It’s like the no hats rule. Some guy in 44 dying at Normandy gives a fata about some future human that doesn’t exist yet to not put a thing on their head? This hat is more insulting than you guys seeing what balding disaster is going on, on my head. Obscure insane horse crap.

4.93 stars

1 star - 3
2 star - 1
3 star - 5
4 star - 8
5 star - 446.

Im sure those first 3 thought it was a reverse scale or something.

I hadn’t looked at this before but that is 9 drivers who thought I was kind of a ####ty passenger. I only ever remember being pissy twice, one guy kept getting lost on the way to the airport and another guy who wouldn’t listen to me about taking a shortcut to get us out of traffic. Before they added tipping to the app, your score was pretty much a direct reflection of your generosity at the end of the ride. Now I don’t know if they can see the amount of your tip when rating you. Not sure about that actually.

Perfect 5.0 on Lyft though, those drivers much have lower standards.

I think it's a lot of those half-drunk young guys running around Vegas wearing baseball hats that is ruining Vegas

Cause Vegas is above being ruined. It is a ruin. Why we go, because it’s ridiculous.

I remember going to a convenience store with my grandma a trillion years ago. Guy checking us out had a beard. Gramma says she has one of those between her legs because she was offended.

As hilarious as that was at the time, I realized what an idiot that generation was.
