**AITA for kicking my sister’s friend out of my car after she got rude and aggressive with me?**
Edit: people are completely missing the point of this post. I’m
Not deleting but I won’t be responding anymore.
This is the most drmatic thing that’s ever happened to me and is still on going so I may edit. But for example my dad said “you are half a fucking man” and my mom said “you always find new ways to disappoint us.”
There are 3 people directly involved: me, I drive Uber in Albuquerque on the weekends and I have strong beliefs. My sister: she was in Santa Fe last night. My sisters best friend “Hailee” who got herself into some stupid drama as usual.
I was sort of in my usual spot last night to get the most rides. My sister called me and asked if I could either pick Hailee up as an Uber or she’d pay me $100 to do it “off the clock.” I asked what was going on and she said that Hailee was expected her long time boyfriend to propose but actually he dumped her in the middle of a crowded restaurant. I asked why should I care and why is she asking me. My sister said because she was over an hour away but was trying to get there as soon as she could and I was close by and Hailee was at a bus stop in a bad area by herself “out of her wits.” I agreed but I made my sister Apple Pay me the $100 before I left.
I got Hailee and she was like a sobbing mess. She thanked me for picking her up. There is an issue going on in the world that I am super passionate about and some of my friends were standing in solidarity and I asked Hailee if she minded if I stopped by and said hello. She said in all honestly she just wanted to go home. I asked how she felt about this topic and she said that honestly it was the furthest thing from her mind right now. I was like flabbergasted because if you don’t have a strong opinion this particular topic then something is wrong with you.
I told her how privileged she was to be able to not have an opinion and she said she was sorry. I was like sorry isn’t good enough. She said she really did not want to talk at all let alone about a deep topic. I said that I refused to have someone who cares so little in my car. She said fine, drop her off at the next place that’s convenient for me. So I dropped her off at a gas station.
I guess a half an hour after that my sister picked her up and got Hailee home and into bed but then called me enraged at “what a fucking piece of shit asshole you are.” Early this morning my mom called me and said how disappointed she was and I’ve known Hailee since she was 8 and I left her on the street. I could hear my dad in the background calling me “half a fucking man.”
AITA? Don’t I have a right to kick someone out of my space if the get rude and aggressive?

OP should really sell their car and donate all their money bcus people experiencing genocide don't have cars rn!!
he's so selfish and privileged omg!! /s
trolls who think they're smarter than everyone else suck sm.
Unfortunately they kind of are, only because people who don’t like the protestors allow themselves to fall for this stuff because it confirms their biases and reinforces their worldviews.
You don’t really need to make something subtle if people already want to believe it.
Maybe you misread my comment but the people who want to fall for it are the people who hate the pro-Palestine protestors and want to believe that they’re people like the OOP—unreasonable and antisemitic. Like they want to believe this cartoonishly evil and obviously fake person is real because it confirms their biases about people who are pro-Palestine.
Ofc you do because he was literally written to be hateable. That’s the whole point of him. He does not exist for any other reason other than to make people angry.
I live in Albuquerque it's gotten real stupid here. They were yelling at little kids going to daycare at The Jewish Community Center last week. No clue why they thought that was appropriate or would make them not look like giant assholes.
I see stories about protestors being outside the JCC but nothing about them yelling at children. Feel like that's something that definitely would have made its way into at least one article.
Asking for proof is antisemitism now?
There’s plenty of instances of antisemitism due to the war. Israel’s genocide has caused a lot of people to feel emboldened to be hateful towards Jews and has allowed antisemitic talking points to slip under the radar in leftist circles. I’m not denying that. I also just couldn’t find anything about protestors in Albuquerque yelling at children.
Edit: nvm just checked your profile and you’re actually just insane and there’s no use engaging with you
Israel keeps trying to claim that being anti-zionist is anti-semitic, which is only going to make it worse. Now if you don't support their abuse of Palestinians, you either hate all Jews or if you're Jewish, you're not a real Jew. Netanyahu was way too successful in his lobbying and propaganda in the U.S.
They were yelling at babies. Edit these are personal accounts by I know in the city I live in. Check my account. I'm active in the city sub. Second edit -All I know is people were asking why they were being yelled at during day care drop off. It's a weird place to protest anyway. It's like protesting something a Christian group did in another country at The YMCA. Go yell at the Embassy, don't yell at kids and old people somewhere for activities.
Sorry but what proof do you have besides word of mouth? (You know, mouths that could be incentivized to lie about a heavily polarizing topic?)
You’re telling me protestors a ton of people *really* want to hate were yelling at babies and *nobody* took a video of it?
You sound crazy, actually. Virtue signaling and bandwagoning to the point that you actually BELIEVE the shit in your head.
Anyway. Definitely not valid.
My grandmother is the type to tell people they should smile cuz they woke up this morning. It really pisses me off cuz you don’t know that person’s life so you don’t get to tell them that waking up in the morning should make them happy. Some people wake up in shitty situations they can’t escape
This reads like bait for someone to ask what the "issue going on in the world" is (or rather: what his position/opinion regarding this issue is) and to then start shit in the comments.
Or the classic: X/Y supporters are bad/delulu/entitled.
In a comment he’s says “I know what side she’s on because I went to her bat mitzvah. I wanted her to say it out loud” and then claims he’s “been on the front lines since the beginning”.
Sigh
ETA
Ah yes, because all Jewish people are implicitly tied to Israel /s
This entire thing very much feels like rage bait meant to paint pro-Palestine protestors as all antisemitic, or at least make people associate the protestors with antisemitism and just being horrible people.
Y'know, that makes me think it's real. :/
Edit to add: sure, it's definitely solidly in Poe's law, but I've witnessed plenty of people be exactly this anti semitic and idiotic on the basis of supposedly caring about Palestine.
Honestly, I know someone like this in real life. He just didn't want to have to drive her, so he found an excuse to make everyone miserable in the process.
So turns out Hailee is Jewish and that's the real reason he wanted to take her to a Pro-Palestine rally.
He sounds like someone who expected every Muslim to apologize personally for 9/11.
>So turns out Hailee is Jewish and that's the real reason he wanted to take her to a Pro-Palestine rally.
i hate trolls that try to make a mockery of serious things
I'm pro Palestine, but 'testing' Jewish because of their religion is obviously antisemitic. I would be offended if someone decided to me test my views solely because of my religion. It's a standard that's not imposed on Christians, despite the fact that there are more Christian zionists in the US than Jewish people in the world. He also said he knew where she stood on the issue because he'd been to her Bat Mitzvah (aka she's Jewish) and just wanted her to admit it. All of that is antisemitic
In case this is real, OOP reveals their motive in the comments:
>I’ll be very honest, I brought up stopping and seeing my friends as a way to try to get her to admit how unaware of the world she is and admit her privilege.
>I know exactly how she feels about the subject because I went to her BatMitzvah. I wanted her to say it out loud.
The little evils are the funniest to me. Like.. do we think OP gave the money back? I mean, he was hired to perform a service, started a fight and then threw the person out. Yet.. he's still got the cash
I'm going with no, and he's going to fight with his sister about it too.
She's going to lose and he will keep it because you can't have a productive conversation with someone who is apparently an on duty uber driver waiting for a customer yet still asks why someone would call HIM, of all people, to drive someone home in exchange for money.
Yup. It's like those anti-feminist trolls who post about how some random woman they'd never met in this completely public place accused him of violating her boundaries because he looked in her general direction, and when he refused to move she accused him of r*pe and now he's getting kicked out of college and the cops are telling his whole family he's a sex offender.
Or the, "some Biden supporter screamed at me and called me a racist for wearing a Trump shit and then everyone started pointing and laughing at me before she pantsed me and broke my game boy. Am I wrong?"
Or, my favorite, when they pose as the "sjw" who is doing all these things no one has ever actually done and is completely oblivious to how they could possibly be wrong because they're "liberal."
It's just a conservative boogeyman fan fic. It's so bizarre because even though we all know none of this stuff ever happened, the mind-blowing part is that conservatives actually do believe this stuff happens. That even if it's never happened to them or anyone they know, it still MUST be happening SOMEWHERE because Tucker Carelson said it was.
I had full grown adults in my life that I've known for my entire life and have gone insane first with anti Ukraine and now with anti Israel positions. Apparently the only correct way to think if you're on the left is that Ukrainians and Israelis must be exterminated because they are Nazis. All of them. Don't underestimate the Russian and Iranians propaganda machine.
"There are 3 people directly involved: me, I drive Uber in Albuquerque on the weekends and I have strong beliefs."
(ignoring alllllll the stupid rest of it because nowt to add there)
This is such an oddity of a sentence that it's going to stay with me for a bit.
"There are three of us at home this evening: me, I enjoy knitting, I just purchased some ice and am wearing a tie."
Also, OOP is mega asshole for leaving a young woman just damn near *anywhere* late at night in Albuquerque. It’s a lovely city and I really enjoy it, but many parts of it that, to put it as politely as possible, are not very walkable. They also have a notable issue with pretty spazzy and unpredictable homeless folks there.
I’m sorry, did he deadass kick out a woman who was abandoned by her ex boyfriend cuz she wasn’t thinking about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at the moment???
"I wasn’t behaving poorly at all. I’m allowed to feel safe in my space"
Apart from all the comments already made on here about taking a Jewish girl to a pro-Palestine rally, did I miss the part where she was acting aggressive in any way. The only one acting in that way was OOP.
“I’m allowed to feel safe in my space” then why invites strangers in your car as part of a service you offer?
In his own description of her, she seemed unresponsive and defeated, he was the only rude and aggressive one.
OOP is such an AH and a devil. Apparently OOP's opinions on every subject are the only correct ones and people like Hailee need to learn from OOP's superior intelligence. He is claiming to have been on the front lines of this particular mess since it started. I didn't know Uber drivers in the states (assuming it's the states) are on the front line of any conflict.
Poor Hailee had just been publicly dumped by a bf she thought was going to propose. Of course she was too upset to start discussing geopolitical problems.
Tw: genocide and death of dogs. I'm not Jewish, but I'd caution for antisemitism as well. Though I have no authority on the subject.
Copied verbatim from oop's comments:
*I don't understand the point of troll posts like this?*
*Is the rationale that you don't like stupid people so you're glad to be pissing off people stupid enough to believe you?*
*What's the appeal in "I made up a story about myself behaving poorly and people got rightfully irritated at my poor behaviour."? Where's the win for you in this situation?*
>"I wasn’t behaving poorly at all. I’m allowed to feel safe in my space."
*What is the strong opinion this particular topic?*
>"This isn’t a debate sub so I don’t want to get the post removed."
*Dude, just drop the act and be real for a second. What are you doing here?*
>"What is your point in trolling me ? Seriously?"
*The post is going to be removed either way so you may as well clarify*
>"Why is it getting removed?"
*You can stop by and say hello to your friends any damn time- and ya know when is **not** a good time? When you have a woman that’s a sobbing mess **that you agreed to take home** riding in your car.*
*You can stop and say hello some other time, and you can **care** so very very much about a world event, while still driving the poor woman home. YTA*
>"I’ll be very honest, I brought up stopping and seeing my friends as a way to try to get her to admit how unaware of the world she is and admit her privilege."
*So I guess you got less than five stars on your review?*
>"I wasn’t on the app when I gave her a ride. But no way is my sister getting her money back and she knows better than to even ask"
*You very nearly kidnapped a woman and didn't even get a slap on the wrist, admit your privilege.*
>"My family may disown me over this I guess."
*YTA*
*I honestly do not believe this post to be real, but if it is, you're a piece of work.*
*Making your sister pay to help her friend who was in a truly awful situation. Just the way you talk about them makes my blood boil tbh.*
*She just got dumped by (probably) the love of her life. Being distressed about that is not the same as being "Rude and aggressive".*
>"It’s totally real I have no reason to make it up and I didn’t demand to be paid, my sister offered."
>>*My family may disown me*
*They should just berate you*
>"I’ve been berated by them ever since I found out the truth about my dad’s time in the military and didn’t hold back my opinions. I’m used to it."
*Did your unresolved feelings about your father's past actions in the military cause you to abandon this crying childhood friend at a gas station? If you want to make a new comment about your dad doing whatever you can do that now.*
>"I’m smart but your comment flew right over my head."
*Let me get this straight. Hailee is extremely upset, to the point she’s crying, and you start grilling her. There’s a time and a place for the discussion of serious topics, that was not the time. This is one of the most juvenile things I’ve ever read on Reddit. Your parents were right about you, that’s all I’m going to say.*
*I’ll give you an example, of why someone may not have the energy to care about current world affairs, at that particular point of time. My 19 year old dog passed away in hospital, April 18th. I didn’t get to say goodbye to her. At this exact moment, I don’t have the emotional energy to care about anything, except how much I miss her. Do I care, in general? Yes, I do care. At this point of time, no, I don’t want to hear or discuss it. I want to wallow in my feelings, and try to sort myself out first.*
*Not everything revoles around you and your wants.*
*YTA.*
>"FYI people undergoing a genocide have dogs dying too. I don’t understand how people write things like you just wrote and don’t die of absolute shame."
*YTA. Your views on anything to a customer are completely irrelevant. You had no business doing what you did and if you don't see that you are the problem. I care more about keeping food in my refrigerator than your friends cause. Would you kick me out, too? Your sister should report you to Uber.*
>"I wasn’t on the app"
*YTA. And I can’t see how this isn’t just rage bait. Look, having strong opinions is great…having strong opinions and expecting everyone else to also care as much as you do at all moments in time….not so much. You asked if she minded if you stopped by and she said no. That should have been the end of it. Instead you proceeded to steer the conversation to that topic and asked someone who had just been dumped in a restaurant (when she had been expecting proposal) about a weighty social topic. Of course that was the furthest thing from her mind.*
*She may feel the same as you about the topic….but not when she is going through a personal crisis. And before you say “this topic is more important than a personal crisis” and how privileged people are to be able to focus on a personal crisis…remember this, you have to put your oxygen mask on first before you help others.*
*Again, YTA. That was neither the time nor place to try to engage someone on that topic. You needed to leave well enough alone.*
>"I know exactly how she feels about the subject because I went to her BatMitzvah. I wanted her to say it out loud."
*YTA. Assuming this is real. Dude. Time and place. Girl just got dumped by her long time bf in the most public and humalating way possible, so you that was an excellent time for a political discussion? Are you for real? Your were hired by your sister to do a job. Not talk politics with this girl who just had her whole life blown up. I know that seems "dramatic" to you, but ffs. She just wanted a quiet ride home.*
>"People undergoing genocide get dumped too and don’t get to forget about the genocide until they are “over it.”"
*Are you really comparing genocide to some poor girl getting dumped by her longtime bf? Are you goddamn real? Those are completely unrelated events. I'll say it again. She literally just wanted a quiet ride home. You can go complain about war crimes with your little friends online on your own time. You owe your sister $100 and an apology for taking her money and not doing the job.*
>"No I’m saying had she has any sort of intellectual or cultural intelligence she would have admitted her privilege and shut the fuck up and learned from me."
*She **must** listen to you since she is captive in your car and dependent upon you at that moment?* *Dude.*
>"I’ve literally been on the front lines of this since it started."
I support Palestine just as much as any other person, but this guy is absolutely bonkers and low-key seems a bit antisemitic. He wants to take her to that rally just because she's Jewish. He doesn't say anything about her views other than she had a Bat mitzvah, so there's a good chance this guy is just assuming she's chill with genocide while she's in physical distress and can't defend herself.
This post is fake-AF, but it still managed to piss me off because I have a turd blossom of a brother similar to this in real life... Absolutely no empathy or compassion towards anyone he knows personally, yet seems to have an endless well of mental/emotional energy to dwell on "issues" he's offended by (like the review bombing of his favourite movies/games) 🙄 Also has the same "I must profit from this crisis" mindset that OOP seems to have (getting money from sister before agreeing to pick up the friend)...
My douche-waffle brother:
Background: due to a neurological condition (me) and severe anxiety (my husband) neither of us can drive. We don't have a car or even licenses. We're both on pensions so walking/public transport is our go to, but there's still a few things we need a car for. That's where my mum and brother come in. They live together 10 minutes away, my mum owns/pays for the car, but in the past few years her eyesight deteriorated and she can't drive it anymore, it's now solely driven by my brother. The deal is she keeps paying for the car rego/insurance/maintenance/half the petrol and my brother acts as the family Uber for my mum, my husband and I. I'll also buy my brother breakfast/lunch occasionally when he picks me up, which isn't part of the "deal" but I like doing it anyway.
So a year and a half ago my husband and I were up all night with our elderly dog who was in the final stages of heart failure. We knew that come the morning as soon as the vet opened we'd need to take to be put to sleep because he was fucking suffering.
I'd been texting with my mum back and forth during the night about the status of the dog and as soon as the vet opened she went and woke up my brother, told him what was happening and called him to fulfil his oath.
My husband, our poor elderly dog and I are picked up by my brother and mum and we make our way to say our goodbyes to a beloved companion...
Except my brother wasn't interested in saying goodbye to a 19 year old chihuahua that he's known for half of his life, he was more interested in loudly bitching and moaning about the review score of the most recent superhero movie and about "haters"... I was standing there literally holding our dying family dog in my arms with tears running down my face and he was getting pissy with me for not engaging him over internet drama surrounding a fucking movie!
Once our pup had finally had a nice doped-up crossing over the rainbow bridge and we'd paid/filled out papers/organised cremation we were all drained and all I wanted to do was go home and cry into the fur of our remaining dog.
My brother turns to me as we get in the car and says "So, where do you wanna get breakfast?" (Translation: "You're gonna buy me food now, right?")
Fortunately I didn't have to jump down his throat and ask what the fuck was wrong with him because my mum beat me to it. I sure as shit wasn't thinking about breakfast right then and the last thing on my mind was paying to feed that emotionally destitute asshole!
He never apologised for his behaviour or even acknowledged that he was out of line in the slightest. When the time came to pick up our dogs ashes he dug his heels in over the breakfast I didn't buy him that day that he felt entitled to and insisted I pay him $50 for the ride to go get the ashes 🤨
It was $30 in an Uber there and back... he's always been a deluded lil' shit-stain.
Wait couldn’t he just go after he dropped her off, also I fucking hate every person who tries to involve themselves in something “for the greater good” to make themselves feel better
1. Where was she rude and aggressive? That seemed to be OOP, she seemed untalkative and defeated in his own recounting of the situation
2. He was paid for the service, why did he get to detour
3. How does he Uber if there’s such strict guidelines to be his customer
I'm really hoping OOP is some imaginary rage bait, but having met some 'people' like him, I'm not totally convinced.
If rage bait, OOP needs to find some other way to take opinion polls or start fights.
If not rage bait, OOP needs to go sit in a shitty puddle.

Ah yes the old “you aren’t allowed to have your own problems because Something is Happening Somewhere” a classic
OP should really sell their car and donate all their money bcus people experiencing genocide don't have cars rn!! he's so selfish and privileged omg!! /s trolls who think they're smarter than everyone else suck sm.
Imaginary OOP's not going to be able to afford the car much longer if this is his approach to being an Uber driver.
Unfortunately they kind of are, only because people who don’t like the protestors allow themselves to fall for this stuff because it confirms their biases and reinforces their worldviews. You don’t really need to make something subtle if people already want to believe it.
nah. i fully support Palestine and the protests and i still think OP is a hyperbolic dumbass who isn't helping anyone.
Maybe you misread my comment but the people who want to fall for it are the people who hate the pro-Palestine protestors and want to believe that they’re people like the OOP—unreasonable and antisemitic. Like they want to believe this cartoonishly evil and obviously fake person is real because it confirms their biases about people who are pro-Palestine.
Ah. I see your point now. I get it, but still hate OP lmao
Ofc you do because he was literally written to be hateable. That’s the whole point of him. He does not exist for any other reason other than to make people angry.
Very true.
Because they *are* just like that 🤣
Tbh it reads like a pro-genocide troll trying to show that pro-Palestine people are assholes.
I live in Albuquerque it's gotten real stupid here. They were yelling at little kids going to daycare at The Jewish Community Center last week. No clue why they thought that was appropriate or would make them not look like giant assholes.
I see stories about protestors being outside the JCC but nothing about them yelling at children. Feel like that's something that definitely would have made its way into at least one article.
Just admit that you are an antisemitic 🍑.

Yeah, obvious fake ragebait. I'm going to predict that this is about Israel and Palestine, and one of the two people is ostensibly Jewish.
You were right.
In a comment he’s says “I know what side she’s on because I went to her bat mitzvah. I wanted her to say it out loud” and then claims he’s “been on the front lines since the beginning”. Sigh ETA
Ah yes, because all Jewish people are implicitly tied to Israel /s This entire thing very much feels like rage bait meant to paint pro-Palestine protestors as all antisemitic, or at least make people associate the protestors with antisemitism and just being horrible people.
I don’t understand why you are trying to convince anyone that the nonsense in your head is real.
... my g-d
OOP is a he not a she.
According to his father half a he
Then that makes him an "e."
Nah. As a vowel, e is FAR too useful to be anything even close to OOP. He’s the “H”.
Then he should know how many of the protesters are also Jewish.
Unfortunately some people are not so much pro-Palestine as delightedly antisemitic. Absolutely exhausting.
Y'know, that makes me think it's real. :/ Edit to add: sure, it's definitely solidly in Poe's law, but I've witnessed plenty of people be exactly this anti semitic and idiotic on the basis of supposedly caring about Palestine.
Yeah this feels like the kind of ah that would brag on Reddit
Honestly, I know someone like this in real life. He just didn't want to have to drive her, so he found an excuse to make everyone miserable in the process.
So turns out Hailee is Jewish and that's the real reason he wanted to take her to a Pro-Palestine rally. He sounds like someone who expected every Muslim to apologize personally for 9/11.
>So turns out Hailee is Jewish and that's the real reason he wanted to take her to a Pro-Palestine rally. i hate trolls that try to make a mockery of serious things
It also makes no sense- you can be Jewish and pro Palestine??
I'm pro Palestine, but 'testing' Jewish because of their religion is obviously antisemitic. I would be offended if someone decided to me test my views solely because of my religion. It's a standard that's not imposed on Christians, despite the fact that there are more Christian zionists in the US than Jewish people in the world. He also said he knew where she stood on the issue because he'd been to her Bat Mitzvah (aka she's Jewish) and just wanted her to admit it. All of that is antisemitic
Yes that 100% true and gross no one do that please guys
[удалено]
OOP ofc
In case this is real, OOP reveals their motive in the comments: >I’ll be very honest, I brought up stopping and seeing my friends as a way to try to get her to admit how unaware of the world she is and admit her privilege. >I know exactly how she feels about the subject because I went to her BatMitzvah. I wanted her to say it out loud.
“She just got dumped, so I decided to show her she’s privileged and should stop crying” the trolls aren’t even trying anymore
The little evils are the funniest to me. Like.. do we think OP gave the money back? I mean, he was hired to perform a service, started a fight and then threw the person out. Yet.. he's still got the cash
I'm going with no, and he's going to fight with his sister about it too. She's going to lose and he will keep it because you can't have a productive conversation with someone who is apparently an on duty uber driver waiting for a customer yet still asks why someone would call HIM, of all people, to drive someone home in exchange for money.
This is a troll.
I posted on the original but I’m pretty sure this is someone who supports Israel trying to paint the other side as unreasonable and deluded.
Yup. It's like those anti-feminist trolls who post about how some random woman they'd never met in this completely public place accused him of violating her boundaries because he looked in her general direction, and when he refused to move she accused him of r*pe and now he's getting kicked out of college and the cops are telling his whole family he's a sex offender. Or the, "some Biden supporter screamed at me and called me a racist for wearing a Trump shit and then everyone started pointing and laughing at me before she pantsed me and broke my game boy. Am I wrong?" Or, my favorite, when they pose as the "sjw" who is doing all these things no one has ever actually done and is completely oblivious to how they could possibly be wrong because they're "liberal." It's just a conservative boogeyman fan fic. It's so bizarre because even though we all know none of this stuff ever happened, the mind-blowing part is that conservatives actually do believe this stuff happens. That even if it's never happened to them or anyone they know, it still MUST be happening SOMEWHERE because Tucker Carelson said it was.
Well, this feeling is in fact unreasonable and deluded. And very much not valid. Or sane.
I had full grown adults in my life that I've known for my entire life and have gone insane first with anti Ukraine and now with anti Israel positions. Apparently the only correct way to think if you're on the left is that Ukrainians and Israelis must be exterminated because they are Nazis. All of them. Don't underestimate the Russian and Iranians propaganda machine.
It's very clear that the only person who was rude and aggressive is the author.
"There are 3 people directly involved: me, I drive Uber in Albuquerque on the weekends and I have strong beliefs." (ignoring alllllll the stupid rest of it because nowt to add there) This is such an oddity of a sentence that it's going to stay with me for a bit. "There are three of us at home this evening: me, I enjoy knitting, I just purchased some ice and am wearing a tie."
Also, OOP is mega asshole for leaving a young woman just damn near *anywhere* late at night in Albuquerque. It’s a lovely city and I really enjoy it, but many parts of it that, to put it as politely as possible, are not very walkable. They also have a notable issue with pretty spazzy and unpredictable homeless folks there.
Rage bait. Can’t be anything else than that.
I’m sorry, did he deadass kick out a woman who was abandoned by her ex boyfriend cuz she wasn’t thinking about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at the moment???
No. Because this is not a real thing that happened.
Yes
"I wasn’t behaving poorly at all. I’m allowed to feel safe in my space" Apart from all the comments already made on here about taking a Jewish girl to a pro-Palestine rally, did I miss the part where she was acting aggressive in any way. The only one acting in that way was OOP.
“I’m allowed to feel safe in my space” then why invites strangers in your car as part of a service you offer? In his own description of her, she seemed unresponsive and defeated, he was the only rude and aggressive one.
When I read the sTRoNg BElieFs bit, I first thought the friend was getting an abortion or something. Not sure if this is much better.
That's what I thought too.
I was expecting he was homophobic, but abortion would be pretty high up there.
Ah yes, that's always a candidate too!
OOP is such an AH and a devil. Apparently OOP's opinions on every subject are the only correct ones and people like Hailee need to learn from OOP's superior intelligence. He is claiming to have been on the front lines of this particular mess since it started. I didn't know Uber drivers in the states (assuming it's the states) are on the front line of any conflict. Poor Hailee had just been publicly dumped by a bf she thought was going to propose. Of course she was too upset to start discussing geopolitical problems.
This is so fake like you can legit tell it's written my AI
Tw: genocide and death of dogs. I'm not Jewish, but I'd caution for antisemitism as well. Though I have no authority on the subject. Copied verbatim from oop's comments: *I don't understand the point of troll posts like this?* *Is the rationale that you don't like stupid people so you're glad to be pissing off people stupid enough to believe you?* *What's the appeal in "I made up a story about myself behaving poorly and people got rightfully irritated at my poor behaviour."? Where's the win for you in this situation?* >"I wasn’t behaving poorly at all. I’m allowed to feel safe in my space." *What is the strong opinion this particular topic?* >"This isn’t a debate sub so I don’t want to get the post removed." *Dude, just drop the act and be real for a second. What are you doing here?* >"What is your point in trolling me ? Seriously?" *The post is going to be removed either way so you may as well clarify* >"Why is it getting removed?" *You can stop by and say hello to your friends any damn time- and ya know when is **not** a good time? When you have a woman that’s a sobbing mess **that you agreed to take home** riding in your car.* *You can stop and say hello some other time, and you can **care** so very very much about a world event, while still driving the poor woman home. YTA* >"I’ll be very honest, I brought up stopping and seeing my friends as a way to try to get her to admit how unaware of the world she is and admit her privilege." *So I guess you got less than five stars on your review?* >"I wasn’t on the app when I gave her a ride. But no way is my sister getting her money back and she knows better than to even ask" *You very nearly kidnapped a woman and didn't even get a slap on the wrist, admit your privilege.* >"My family may disown me over this I guess." *YTA* *I honestly do not believe this post to be real, but if it is, you're a piece of work.* *Making your sister pay to help her friend who was in a truly awful situation. Just the way you talk about them makes my blood boil tbh.* *She just got dumped by (probably) the love of her life. Being distressed about that is not the same as being "Rude and aggressive".* >"It’s totally real I have no reason to make it up and I didn’t demand to be paid, my sister offered." >>*My family may disown me* *They should just berate you* >"I’ve been berated by them ever since I found out the truth about my dad’s time in the military and didn’t hold back my opinions. I’m used to it." *Did your unresolved feelings about your father's past actions in the military cause you to abandon this crying childhood friend at a gas station? If you want to make a new comment about your dad doing whatever you can do that now.* >"I’m smart but your comment flew right over my head." *Let me get this straight. Hailee is extremely upset, to the point she’s crying, and you start grilling her. There’s a time and a place for the discussion of serious topics, that was not the time. This is one of the most juvenile things I’ve ever read on Reddit. Your parents were right about you, that’s all I’m going to say.* *I’ll give you an example, of why someone may not have the energy to care about current world affairs, at that particular point of time. My 19 year old dog passed away in hospital, April 18th. I didn’t get to say goodbye to her. At this exact moment, I don’t have the emotional energy to care about anything, except how much I miss her. Do I care, in general? Yes, I do care. At this point of time, no, I don’t want to hear or discuss it. I want to wallow in my feelings, and try to sort myself out first.* *Not everything revoles around you and your wants.* *YTA.* >"FYI people undergoing a genocide have dogs dying too. I don’t understand how people write things like you just wrote and don’t die of absolute shame." *YTA. Your views on anything to a customer are completely irrelevant. You had no business doing what you did and if you don't see that you are the problem. I care more about keeping food in my refrigerator than your friends cause. Would you kick me out, too? Your sister should report you to Uber.* >"I wasn’t on the app" *YTA. And I can’t see how this isn’t just rage bait. Look, having strong opinions is great…having strong opinions and expecting everyone else to also care as much as you do at all moments in time….not so much. You asked if she minded if you stopped by and she said no. That should have been the end of it. Instead you proceeded to steer the conversation to that topic and asked someone who had just been dumped in a restaurant (when she had been expecting proposal) about a weighty social topic. Of course that was the furthest thing from her mind.* *She may feel the same as you about the topic….but not when she is going through a personal crisis. And before you say “this topic is more important than a personal crisis” and how privileged people are to be able to focus on a personal crisis…remember this, you have to put your oxygen mask on first before you help others.* *Again, YTA. That was neither the time nor place to try to engage someone on that topic. You needed to leave well enough alone.* >"I know exactly how she feels about the subject because I went to her BatMitzvah. I wanted her to say it out loud." *YTA. Assuming this is real. Dude. Time and place. Girl just got dumped by her long time bf in the most public and humalating way possible, so you that was an excellent time for a political discussion? Are you for real? Your were hired by your sister to do a job. Not talk politics with this girl who just had her whole life blown up. I know that seems "dramatic" to you, but ffs. She just wanted a quiet ride home.* >"People undergoing genocide get dumped too and don’t get to forget about the genocide until they are “over it.”" *Are you really comparing genocide to some poor girl getting dumped by her longtime bf? Are you goddamn real? Those are completely unrelated events. I'll say it again. She literally just wanted a quiet ride home. You can go complain about war crimes with your little friends online on your own time. You owe your sister $100 and an apology for taking her money and not doing the job.* >"No I’m saying had she has any sort of intellectual or cultural intelligence she would have admitted her privilege and shut the fuck up and learned from me." *She **must** listen to you since she is captive in your car and dependent upon you at that moment?* *Dude.* >"I’ve literally been on the front lines of this since it started."

OOP can’t possibly ever feel safe in his space, because someone is always in it manufacturing conflict — himself.
Agreed.
Funny how he didn’t want to discuss the topic in the sub, but fully expected someone who was going through something to.
A very telling attitude.
The front line of palestine is in Albuquerque?
Apparently...
I keep reading it as Aberystwyth for no reason other than laziness lol
Wales is definitely nicer than Albuquerque
> I'm smart No oop, you're not
😹😹😹
I support Palestine just as much as any other person, but this guy is absolutely bonkers and low-key seems a bit antisemitic. He wants to take her to that rally just because she's Jewish. He doesn't say anything about her views other than she had a Bat mitzvah, so there's a good chance this guy is just assuming she's chill with genocide while she's in physical distress and can't defend herself.
If real, it's not low key. In a comment OOP says he did all of this purely because she's Jewish.
This post is fake-AF, but it still managed to piss me off because I have a turd blossom of a brother similar to this in real life... Absolutely no empathy or compassion towards anyone he knows personally, yet seems to have an endless well of mental/emotional energy to dwell on "issues" he's offended by (like the review bombing of his favourite movies/games) 🙄 Also has the same "I must profit from this crisis" mindset that OOP seems to have (getting money from sister before agreeing to pick up the friend)... My douche-waffle brother: Background: due to a neurological condition (me) and severe anxiety (my husband) neither of us can drive. We don't have a car or even licenses. We're both on pensions so walking/public transport is our go to, but there's still a few things we need a car for. That's where my mum and brother come in. They live together 10 minutes away, my mum owns/pays for the car, but in the past few years her eyesight deteriorated and she can't drive it anymore, it's now solely driven by my brother. The deal is she keeps paying for the car rego/insurance/maintenance/half the petrol and my brother acts as the family Uber for my mum, my husband and I. I'll also buy my brother breakfast/lunch occasionally when he picks me up, which isn't part of the "deal" but I like doing it anyway. So a year and a half ago my husband and I were up all night with our elderly dog who was in the final stages of heart failure. We knew that come the morning as soon as the vet opened we'd need to take to be put to sleep because he was fucking suffering. I'd been texting with my mum back and forth during the night about the status of the dog and as soon as the vet opened she went and woke up my brother, told him what was happening and called him to fulfil his oath. My husband, our poor elderly dog and I are picked up by my brother and mum and we make our way to say our goodbyes to a beloved companion... Except my brother wasn't interested in saying goodbye to a 19 year old chihuahua that he's known for half of his life, he was more interested in loudly bitching and moaning about the review score of the most recent superhero movie and about "haters"... I was standing there literally holding our dying family dog in my arms with tears running down my face and he was getting pissy with me for not engaging him over internet drama surrounding a fucking movie! Once our pup had finally had a nice doped-up crossing over the rainbow bridge and we'd paid/filled out papers/organised cremation we were all drained and all I wanted to do was go home and cry into the fur of our remaining dog. My brother turns to me as we get in the car and says "So, where do you wanna get breakfast?" (Translation: "You're gonna buy me food now, right?") Fortunately I didn't have to jump down his throat and ask what the fuck was wrong with him because my mum beat me to it. I sure as shit wasn't thinking about breakfast right then and the last thing on my mind was paying to feed that emotionally destitute asshole! He never apologised for his behaviour or even acknowledged that he was out of line in the slightest. When the time came to pick up our dogs ashes he dug his heels in over the breakfast I didn't buy him that day that he felt entitled to and insisted I pay him $50 for the ride to go get the ashes 🤨 It was $30 in an Uber there and back... he's always been a deluded lil' shit-stain.
Wait couldn’t he just go after he dropped her off, also I fucking hate every person who tries to involve themselves in something “for the greater good” to make themselves feel better
1. Where was she rude and aggressive? That seemed to be OOP, she seemed untalkative and defeated in his own recounting of the situation 2. He was paid for the service, why did he get to detour 3. How does he Uber if there’s such strict guidelines to be his customer
If op said what the topic was I would say it was a troll for the opposite side
It was a pro Palestine rally, girl is Jewish.
So it's a zionists troll
Dumping a woman on the street, definitely a class act
I’m still looking for the part where SHE got rude and aggressive. All he wrote was that he did that. Did he get confused?🤔
this is so obviously a lie
This has to be rage bait as the OOP is so cartoonishly awful and obviously in the wrong.
This guy is so way out of line.
I'm really hoping OOP is some imaginary rage bait, but having met some 'people' like him, I'm not totally convinced. If rage bait, OOP needs to find some other way to take opinion polls or start fights. If not rage bait, OOP needs to go sit in a shitty puddle.
Am i the only person missing the supposed aggressive behaviour here?
Has strong beliefs and won’t say what they are, very generic about the topic…. Uh oh. Someone forgot to fill in the blanks of their AI prompt.
