Recently, I booked a ride from the Gardens Hotel to get to KLIA, and my uber driver got caught in a traffic jam. That's understandable, since KL usually has bad traffic, but the driver actually couldn't find my location and drove past where I was waiting at the hotel taxi area twice!!! I had to wave frantically before I got her attention the third time around... On the way to the airport, the driver took a wrong turn and got lost, which resulted in me missing my flight. It was so frustrating.

Anyone ever meet with any uber/grab horror stories like that?? Please share here...

Midvalley is still ok..so far for me, pickup at MV is easier cos u get to select pick up point. Starbucks, Coffee Bean, Plan B, Toast Box, Northpoint...these are the usual pick up locations and its easy to spot.

And when you ask politely "do you know any shortcut you wanna use?". They'll say "you don't use Waze meh?".

And when you didn't ask and just follow the Waze, they'll say "aiyo why use this road! So far and bumpy! Use highway better!" or "why you didn't ask?! Just ask and I'll show you the shortcut!"

And when they saw you use Waze, they'll say "aiyo why you use Waze?! Use Google maps better! No wonder the road you use is so far and got toll!"

And when they saw you use Google maps, they'll say "aiyo why you use Google maps?! Use Waze better! No wonder the road you use is so far and got toll!"

last nite got a request..reached the pickup point, rider no where to be seen.
called her, she said give her 5 mins.
i waited 5 mins.
then she called, say give her ANOTHER 5 mins.
i said ok again, but reminded her i will wait another 5 mins only.
after the next 5 mins, i cancelled, as i see her walking towards me. why? she showed no sign of urgency..strolling slowly like she walking pasar malam when i already waited 10 mins.
fcuk this kinda rider.

if only more riders like u.

when driving uber, i have this 'regular' rider. every morning, he needs a ride from his home to office in KLCC, and i pick him up regularly.
trip is very short, maybe 3km and <10mins.
but he'll order, and come down (condo) only after u arrived.  and he'll be smoking a cigg as he's walking towards the car, and will stop to finish the cigg before entering the car (maybe another minute wait) total wait time usually 5-6 mins.
every morning, without fail. i always wonder how come he can't wait till get to his office only smoke? since its a very short trip.
first time pick up i gave him 2 star. then subsequent, just layan la..already know his pattern...
