5 True Scary UBER Horror Stories

[@Rey_Palpatine]

For the 3rd story, my first guess was that the phone call was going to be Amy's ex pretending to be a cop to lure the guy somewhere and kill him after seeing the text on her phone. What actually happened was still pretty messed up tho

[@Jenny_thebeaglemom]

That was my first thought too

[@dirkturtle3354]

Cops NEVER call if you're suspect or interview subject. They're not going to give you a warning if you're under suspicion.

[@riakun]

I thought the exact same thing

[@Rxnnrose]

@@dirkturtle3354 they can call if they know you were at least a witness, and there was evidence Uber Driver was, so it makes sense they’d call, even if just pretending he was only wanted as a witness

I fully agree with one writer's sentiment that ride-share drivers should be fully vetted both before & at regular intervals during active driver status. But there's only so much that can be gleaned from background checks & driving records. How exactly does one's background indicate that they might lock a passenger in the car & demand a 5-star rating? I think that's putting a bit too much responsibility on the company to somehow know how an individual may act. There's always a "first" incident of concerning behavior. All the company can really do is ban them after something has happened. If you get a bad vibe from someone, trust your gut. Get out of the car. If you can't get out, call the police.

[@sebastiantschatordai]

What if you can't call the police?

[@datMMAguy]

I was thinking maybe on top of the background checks and driving records they could maybe implement a system where you also have to have a dash cam installed and recording during the entirety of each ride. Then the footage could be submitted at the end of the day/week. Just a thought, I agree it is a tricky situation.

[@yourmom69179]

Definitely more needs to be done but you never know what's going on in someone's mind. I wish more ppl would report this kind of thing too.

Crazy coincidence about Dalton. I used to live in Kalamazoo and went for college, I used to take uber all the time and most were men, some creepy and some just sweet old men. I don’t think I’ve ever had Dalton but I would have to go back in my history to verify. I believe he was arrested a few streets over where I used to live. I was asleep through it all but I had a class that afternoon and would have taken that Uber ride if I wasn’t feeling crazy tired due to how many classes I was taking. Once I woke up, I had nearly 40 missed calls from both my sister and my mom. I called an asked what had happened, figuring something happened back home. Nope they thought I was the one who was dead since this crazy Uber driver was killing innocent people. Kind of crazy just how lucky I really was to be lazy. I feel for those who have lost their loved ones. On what should of been normal evening, chaos took place. I’m glad there was justice!

Stories 2►8:39: FYI: Uber? Vetting? Uber's vetting process is abysmal, they use a third-party company called Checkr to review three years of one's driving history and criminal record; that's it, just 3 years. Lyft is no better either. Taxies cost more but are safer. You save more money with Uber & Lyft but you take greater risks.

8:39 That's why I have a second phone. Stealing my 1st phone? Imma call the cops with my other phone or hit you with this brick phone. I'm too paranoid to sit in strangers' cars, so Imma knife open their cars. Had this kind of a bad joke before with an Uber and just play the crazy one. They don't like you soiling or destroying their car.

[@kevlarkittens]

Hmmm, I've lived in both kinds of neighborhoods and a community of so-called snitches is unquestionably safer than the alternative. It seems the willingness to give information to police about crime ends up resulting in less crime. Funny how that works. I fully understand it's not that simple to talk to police when you're threatened if you do. I'm just saying that being a snitch isn't entirely a bad thing. Props to that cool-as-a-cucumber Uber driver though for making sure murder was not the case that night, at least for himself.

[@dustinspeicher3390]

Thats all just a marketing ploy by Let's Read. He pays people with annoying voices too narrate similar stories & too populate his genre so that all that traffic grasped by their annoyance is then redirected too the Let's Read channel too be soothed & have their annoyances dissappear creating an emotional benefit tied into the initial benefit of just consuming content allowing for a greater attachment to grow than if it were a mere content consuming relationship. Joel is a marketing & human psychology genius.

If I get a feeling to say turn right and it don't make sense, I just do it learning from the times I ignored it in the past

The story about Jason Dalton, there's a story that the original passenger who was taken on a dangerous ride, is suing Uber. The writer believes that is this guy had alerted Uber, Dalton may not have had the chance to kill.
