“You Ordered a Ride & You Made the Driver Wait for 15 Minutes”: Cabbie roars at customers who keep their drivers waiting for over 15 minutes

A recent video that appeared online shows the moment an Uber driver was heavily pissed at how most customers keep drivers waiting for long minutes.

In the video, the Uber driver said: “It has come to the height of it. You ordered a ride and made the driver wait for you for 15 minutes. If you don’t have a place to go, why be unfortunate and keep drivers waiting for long minutes? The majority of you are very disrespectful.”

The driver went on to narrate that even in these times when the hike in the price of fuel has been a major challenge for drivers, customers are still adding to the frustration.

In the video, the Uber driver tries to address customers who are in the habit of keeping Uber drivers waiting even after their ride has arrived. From the video, the driver is visibly angry and irritated by the behaviour of some customers.

@mylagosdiary commented: “30 minutes???? Ahh! Some of you people don’t have conscience! If anyone keeps you waiting for 30 minutes, will you even be smiling?”

@ms_sleem commented: “Una just dey shout cancel the trip bla bla .. on bolt if you cancel the ride with or without waiting your driver score reduces drastically , on indrive they’ll charge up front so who pays the already paid fee percentage ??
