A young Nigerian lady recently shared a distressing encounter with an Uber driver who scolded her for what he perceived as a discourteous approach during their chat.
The lady, identified as @Gracebal0 on the microblogging platform X, took to social media to call out the unprofessional behavior of the cab-hailing service driver.
After booking a ride, she inquired about the driver's proximity to the pickup location, writing, “Sir please be fast if you can. Are you getting closer?” However, the Uber driver responded by accusing her of lacking manners in her chat approach.
Regrettably, the situation escalated as the driver allegedly cursed her and abruptly ended the trip after expressing his anger during a phone call with her.
Sharing her ordeal, she expressed, “I experienced this disrespect from an Uber driver today. He ended up insulting me and canceling the trip with no remorse.”
The post garnered numerous reactions, with users divided in their opinions, some accusing the lady of rudeness, while others criticized the Uber driver for unprofessional conduct.

TokyosBite commented: “Hello, Mr Jude. Please where are you now? Are you close already?” Suggesting understanding when in a haste, emphasizing the importance of politeness.
Kory_Babatope expressed: “He got angry very quickly, But you too have some improvements to make. Salutations MUST be the first thing, it’s a social obligation required of you. It’s very important and cannot be underestimated.”
EmaazDr raised concerns: “WHY ARE YOU POSTING HIS CONTACT? YOU TOO WERE RUDE WITH HOW YOU APPROACHED.”
iamvinicius_snr observed: “Uber drivers are so proud these days, they’re making bank and they feel like you’re begging them to come and carry you.”
Davidspredict shared insight: “The fact you are ordering for his cab, you need to have a good manner of approach. It won't cost you anything to say good day, I am waiting, please where are you. No hard feelings, but to be honest, your chat is very rude, accept it.”
