Uber Compensation Master Thread

[PlatinumGuy]

Huh? The driver canceled...

After he didnt come out or notify him that hes late

[Emkay]

You screwed the guy. Don't ask him to compensate you for that

+1. He drove to you, waited for you, followed the rules, etc.

I thought driver cancelled on this case?

[Joe4007]

Am I slow?

They read your post as you saying the driver canceled due to his waiting on you.

After he didnt come out or notify him that hes late

Seriously. Are you sarcastic? or we're just not on one page?

Huh? The driver canceled...

What should he do, hang around all day waiting for you?

Why in the world?

I see how you can read it wrong.
The driver wasn't the one waiting outside. His wife was

[Achas Veachas]

Am I reading it wrong? I understood it to be after the wife was waiting outside..

[ilherman]

Ok, got it. I wrote after waiting a few minutes outside.... My wife was waiting outside not the driver.

Gotcha, OP, meshugy will give you your first writing lesson on the house.

+1. I guess the other guys are used to the story being the opposite. 

[PlatinumGuy]

I see how it was written wrongly.

There's only one correct way to read the post.

Sorry nonetheless

Generally if the driver cancels the system will automatically send someone else.

Obviously besides you and Platinum Guy everyone understood the story correctly...

I'll contact Meshugy anyway

There is a reason why I opened this thread in JS..

Was just wondering if this happens often.

How did you read this post.. You thought I wonder if people always cancel and the driver is driving away???

I wanted to know if they often cancel rides...

I added that my wife was waiting outside, just to explain why it was incovinient and why I should be getting compansation.

[Dan]

OP, broken down:

Statement 1: So my wife just used Uber for the first time
Statement 2: (my car is at the car wash)
Statement 3: after waiting outside a couple of minutes, the driver canceled...
Statement 4: She ordered again...let's see what happens.
Statement 5: What can I get for that? 
Statement 6: I'm not sure if I'm serious or sarcastic.

[Emkay]

that statement is refutable, being that its not properly punctuated for your way of deciphering it either

[ilherman]

So now that we're all on the same page, can/should I ask for compensation?

[lubaby]

I requested an Uber early Sunday morning for a ride home from a party I went to. Driver was 13 minutes away and started heading in my direction, when he was 4 minutes away I saw through the app that he missed the turn ans started going the wrong way, so I called to redirect him and he was back on the right way a few minutes later. We hung up and I saw him turn around and head back towards me that all took about an extra 10 minutes that I was waiting outside.
When he was 3 minutes away, he cancelled on me.

I requested another Uber and had to wait another 10 minutes outside for the new car to come. 5 minutes later while waiting for my new ride, I saw my original Uber car pull up (recognized the license plate) and the driver had a different job that he took instead of me. He wouldn't even acknowledge that he "screwed me" and took somebody else when he came all the way out there for me.

I haven't reached out to Uber yet, anything else I should include or are the details above enough for a case?
I feel I deserve compensation for waiting.

And amazingly fast resolution right?
