Uber’s ‘apology’ was almost as disgusting. Almost.
When Uber started to become a thing, there were complaints by the taxi unions about ‘renegade taxis’ citing the safety of passengers. Of course, we saw a lot of this as bluster, but there was a grain of truth there.
Now that Uber is in use all over the place, and the taxi industry is moving forward, we’re seeing some of the issues that were initial concerns.
And other things we couldn’t even imagine.
Like this.
An Uber passenger was subject to the most uncomfortable ride of his life where his driver seemingly received oral sex from a prostitute, and the company attempted to apologize by offering him a mere $10 credit.
Aner Manuel claims he was stuck in an Uber for two miles while an intoxicated prostitute groped and performed oral sex on the driver.
The horrified customer posted footage of the ‘most dangerous and inappropriate ride ever‘ on social media after the incident in Chicago around 3am on July 17.
In the clip, a woman is seen kissing the driver and then lowering her head into his lap, while mood music plays over the stereo.
Gross.
This poor passenger!
In a Facebook post, Manuel clarified that his ride wasn’t an UberPool and said he thought maybe the front seat passenger was a family member.
He wrote: ‘As I approached my Uber, I noticed there was a passenger in the front seat. I double checked to make sure I didn’t select UberPool, and then approached the car.
‘I assumed it may have been a family member of some sort. As we pulled off the female in the front (who was clearly on drugs) attempted to open the door and could not even sit straight as the vehicle was in motion.’
Bad enough that he’s now sharing his ride with some drugged out person.
But the trip gets worse.
Manuel continued: ‘She then began to grope him and grab him. They began to kiss and she began loosening his belt.
‘As we got further and further from my pickup location I had no idea where I was, so I had to stay in the car. She then proceeded to perform oral sex.
‘This was my last straw. I asked the driver to drop me off. Since I’ve contacted Uber and they refunded me for trip and gave me a “$10 credit”.
‘They’ve seen this video and are still “investigating”. They have been extremely bad at answering any messages I’ve sent, and I demand something gets done. This is not okay!’

After the horrific ride, Uber offers the insult of a $10 credit.
Disgusting.
Speaking of disgusting…
WARNING — THIS VIDEO IS WHAT IT SAYS IT IS:

A spokesman from Uber said that the driver has been removed from the app once the video was provided to them.
This certainly was the Uber ride from hell.
This is the criticism of the taxi apps — people are concerned that the drivers aren’t properly vetted.
Does that bother you, or do you take Uber anyway?
What would you do if your Uber driver did this when you were in a strange city?
