I see this all the time.

Disruption is such a great thing. You can cut corners and mislead people, people die . But as long as the masses can save $1 they don't give a shit. Buy responsibly. That means when u buy anything.

This was her fault for being drunk and not knowing what she was doing. Nothing to do with her friends, all her fault. RIP Samantha

Very sad but how is that possible. When I book an uber I get confirmation of the car registration and the name of the driver. The driver also knows my name. If the registration is not what is on me booking and or the driver does not know my name. I walk away.
