Gender doesn't matter, almost everyone is rude - former Uber driver narrates his experience with passengers

-







A former Uber driver has narrated his experience with passengers after an argument began on the platform that female passengers are more rude than male passengers.

 

A man went on Twitter to claim that he had an Uber ride with a female driver and the woman complained to him about how rude female passengers are. He concluded that even women are complaining about their gender.

 

This led to an argument as people debated his tweets.

 

Reacting, @MaxOfLagos, a former Uber driver said gender doesn't matter and it depends on individuals.

 

"I was an Uber driver for a few months in Lagos," he wrote, adding, "Gender doesn't matter. Almost everyone is rude."

 

He then went on to narrate some encounters he had with riders.
