Don ' t have pool here yet , but I look at it the same way . Request comes in from more than 15 minutes away , I ' ll start driving in that direction . If they don ' t call , I ' ll call after a couple minutes and let them know that Uber is crazy to have paired us up , but if they cancel now , they ' ll avoid a fee and can request again and get a closer driver . It ' s saved me several 20 minute trips to the country for rides . Did work out one time though . Took 25 minutes to get them , they tipped me $ 20 on a $ 30 ride and I dropped them off in the middle of a 4 th of july 4 x surge . Probably one of my best pax . LOL <| sep |> That one where he went out of his way to stand over Zeke was what sent me over the edge . Like really , man ? Are we 12 ?
