Uber has done the same thing. One time I was picked up around 2:30am after leaving a gay bar. As we’re driving he asked if I wanted to sit up front and I said no thanks, it’s fine in the back. Not too long after he asked what my sexuality was, which not only weirded me out, but I also don’t know how this guy will react. So I joke and say “well you did just pick me up in front of Woody’s”, the name of the gay bar. He laughs and says that he’s bi. Shortly after he reached back to put his hand on my leg and asks if I’m sure about not wanting to sit up front. At this point I said pull over and let me out and I ended up walking home and sent Uber support a message detailing what just happened.

All they did was refund my $6-$7 dollar ride and say that they’d make sure he wouldn’t be my driver again. When I asked about what action is being taken against that driver because he’s picking up people late at night hoping they’re intoxicated enough to make advances on them, they said they couldn’t release that info and then deleted that ride from my app’s history, which had my review, rating, and the drivers name, car model, and plate.

turns out regulating taxis is a good thing

[soul-hammered]

All due respect but I’ve been harassed in ‘regulated taxis’ and nobody did jack shit there either.

it takes years to develop your craft. do not romanticize the idea of an ‘overnight success’. be a student. grow organically. get really good. hate your work. start over. find new ways to express the same ideas. the student becomes the master. your time will come.

Regardless of the numbers on your paycheck or in your bank account, nobody is less than you.

Also most people in NYC are working more than 1 job. I know people living out shelters working 2 jobs.

So the fact that people are working 2 jobs and living in shelters shows that having a job or jobs doesn’t prevent homelessness. So there should still be no superiority complex in these employees.

This didn’t happen in New York City

This happened in Syracuse, New York, where I live. It is one of the poorest cities in the entire United States. We have a large number of homeless people, many who are mentally ill and/or disabled. When these stories are labeled as “New York,” people think it’s NYC and end up ignoring the issues in “upstate” NY.

This homeless man’s name is Jeremy Dufresne. He is a homeless man suffering from schizophrenia. He was charging his phone in order to contact his mother. A gofundme was put together in order to replace Dufresne’s clothes and phone charger. So far 22k has been reached to help him get on his feet. 

Al-Amin Muhammad, a local homeless advocate, confronted the Dunkin Donuts employees. He runs an organization called We Rise Above the Streets, which has been feeding and clothing homeless people in Syracuse, NY. You can support this organization by donating here. 

(Money supports distribution of meals, clothing, and hygiene items)

Al-Amin Muhammed is a former homeless man, drug dealer, and convict. He now dedicates his life to helping those who went through the same struggles as he did. He actively protested this Dunkin Donuts. He met with the owners of this store, and they agreed to contribute to feeding the homeless.

Additionally:

The workers who dumped the water on Dufresne were fired almost immediately. Furthermore, one of the workers publicly apologized for his actions. Another popular donut shop is giving away 1,000 donuts to the homeless in the wake of what happened.

Again, this isn’t about New York City. Poverty and homelessness are a big issue for Syracuse, NY.

I’m constantly torn between “if it’s meant to be, it will be” and “if you want it, go and get it.”

[i-peed-so-hard-i-laughed-deacti]

“if it’s meant to be, it will be” - friendships, relationships, people in general coming into your life, dealing with rejection

“if you want it, go get it” - your goals, aspirations, work and work ethic, changing your life (diet, exercise, hobbies, political views, opinions)

Was sent this little beauty to try out by Influenster, and honestly, I love it! A nice rich moisturizer that my dry skins desperately needs even in the Summer, and doesn’t feel too heavy! • • • #beauty #beautyblogger #moisturizer #skincare #mua #makeupartist #free #complimentary #vichylover @Influensterca @vichycanada

“money can’t buy happiness” is such a baby boomer concept like…. I don’t want excessive wealth to buy a golf plated toilet seat Karen, I just wish I wasn’t crying because I can’t afford both spaghetti and rent after working 40 hours a week

As an atheist, putting my hand on the Bible and saying an oath before testifying to a court is less likely to get me to tell the truth than a pinkey promise

[kaleighbytheway]

When my parents were fighting for custody, I was old enough to have a say, so they put me under oath to assure I was being honest with my feelings. Using my best serious face, knowing what was coming, when offered the bible to swear on, I requested to swear on the secretary’s hole punch, “because it’s far more honest. It says it’s going to punch a hole, and it does, best God I’ve seen today.” My mom buried her face in her hands, my dad sighed and rubbed his forehead. The judge almost choked on his water before telling the bailiff “find this young lady a hole punch!”
