An Uber driver who called a woman he drove to a California hospital a “f-----g moron” and accused her of being “extremely rude” could be seen in a video that surfaced on YouTube Thursday yelling “Get out of my car” over and over again. Uber suspended the driver’s access as company executives review the encounter, a representative for the company said.
“Get out of my car now,” the driver said in the video. “I have the right to tell you when to get out of my car. It’s right now.”
“I don’t know where I am,” the rider said. “I’m asking you where is my destination? If you would kindly point me in the direction I’m supposed to go.”
“I pulled into your destination,” the driver said, holding up his cell phone. “It said here I was at your destination. It’s over. Get out of my car now.”
The woman did not raise her voice in the footage, yet she would not believe the driver that they had made it to the hospital’s emergency room. The driver said she had kept him waiting too long when he picked her up.
He grew more irate as he demanded she leave again and told her “I will f---ing talk to you any God d--- way I want” when she asked why he was yelling at her.
It wasn’t immediately clear where in California the exchange had taken place, and an Uber spokeswoman declined to give more details such as the name of the driver, citing privacy laws. The company’s rules call for drivers and riders “to act appropriately and respect boundaries” and exercise “human kindness” during each ride.
“This conduct has no place on our platform and we're reviewing the matter,” an Uber spokeswoman said in an emailed statement.
