Let’s be real: Uber ratings are the Yelp reviews for your personality. A 5.0 means you’re basically a golden retriever in human form. A 4.9 means you’re polite but maybe you talked too much about your cat. A 4.6? You, my friend, are a chaotic gremlin who takes too long to buckle your seatbelt.
Surprising fact: Uber drivers have confessed they rate passengers lower for smelling too strongly of weed, or for slamming the door like they’re in a Hollywood action movie. One driver told me he gave a 3-star rating to a guy who requested a bathroom break mid-ride. “He was gone for ten minutes,” the driver said. “I had to cancel future trips.”
