TikToker’s Nightmare: Uber Driver Threatens to Leave Him in Snowstorm!

On TikTok, a user shared that he faced a challenging situation when his Uber driver threatened to eject him from the vehicle, potentially stranding him amidst a snowstorm.

Instead of calling a cab to reach your desired place, Uber has become the preferred choice for arranging a car ride to another location. Although most rides usually go smoothly, there are always tales of mishaps that get circulated on social media.

Recently, an unfortunate incident involving Uber occurred, as shared on TikTok. This incident left podcaster and social media personality Sean Patrick stuck in the snow while en route to a hotel.

In a video watched by more than half a million people, I found myself sharing a shocking experience involving Uber – something I never expected. Arriving in the heart of Montreal, Canada, late one night, I hailed an Uber ride to take me to my hotel. However, what unfolded was far from ordinary: I felt I had fallen victim to an Uber “extortion.

In the midst of a heavy snowstorm, Patrick observed that his driver started off friendly, but their interaction soon became unpleasant.

“Get ready with me to get extorted by my Uber driver,” he started.

As I stowed my gaming gear in the backseat, I couldn’t help but grumble about the less-than-ideal driving conditions and, on top of that, the meager compensation for this journey.

According to Patrick, this individual grumbled throughout the journey, continuously questioning the compensation and persistently asking, “What was the cost of this trip?” he stated.

Instead of continuing to argue about Uber’s deductions from his earnings, the driver unexpectedly terminated the ride just a few blocks short of the hotel, leaving Patrick out in the rain without transportation.

“He says, ‘I’m ending the ride and he does.”

Instead of dropping Patrick off at his destination, the Uber driver apparently threatened to leave him stranded unless he gave him a top rating on the app and an generous tip. Otherwise, he wouldn’t finish the ride for him.

With no other option available since he urgently needed to reach his hotel and exit the driver’s vehicle, Patrick consented to rate the driver five stars and offer him the highest tip. Notably, the Uber driver ensured that the payment had been processed before proceeding with the journey and releasing Patrick from the car.

Patrick commented at the end of the TikTok, ‘Fortunately, he opened the trunk or else he might have taken everything,'” (or)

“‘Luckily, the trunk was opened instead of him just leaving with all my belongings,’ Patrick mentioned in his TikTok post,” (or)

“Patrick concluded his TikTok by saying, ‘Thank goodness he opened the trunk rather than walking off with all my things,'” (or)

“In the end of his TikTok, Patrick said, ‘I’m grateful that he opened the trunk instead of just taking everything with him,'” (or)

“At the close of the TikTok, Patrick stated, ‘Thankfully, he decided to open the trunk rather than leaving me stranded with all my stuff,’

Later on, Patrick disclosed in another video that following his complaint, Uber proposed a $5 credit as a solution instead.
