Several threads in several forums about just this type of juvenile shit didn’t make the slightest bit of an impression on y’all, did it? :smack:
Does Lyft also operate in NYC? I know a lot of drivers work for both companies, so this might not cut into his business.
a) it took him that long to find a safe place to pull over
b) the longer he thought about it, the more it bothered him until he finally decided he could not abide such things
Just sayin’ … you guys really haven’t been payin’ much attention here lately have youse?
I’m not sure what’s worse the potty mouths or the tut-tut patrol.
I wish I could somehow orchestrate it so that everyone who* ever* got into Ahmad’s car made out with the same sex…
Young black woman and elderly white grandma? (think Gamora and Betty White)… Kiss kiss.
Pack of four frat guys? Shirts off, dudes, let’s go!
Single guy in a suit? Pulls a GQ magazine out of his briefcase and starts tonguing coverboy Ryan Gosling.
Repeat until driver’s head es-plodes.
I tried, but I can’t wrap my head around the image of Betty White making out with a turtle-shaped kaiju.
You need a remedial driving course. Checking the rearview mirror ever 5-8 seconds is something that every competent driver does as a matter of routine.
The w(h)ine. It’s decades old and only tastes of bitter tears.
Not really, no. 
Your pony is asking to learn a couple of new tricks.
…said the Tut-tutter-in-Chief. :rolleyes:
And for fuck’s sake, “potty mouths”? Are you Jean fucking Teasdale?
Speaking for myself, I do not give a fuck or a shit about “potty mouths”. The words cocksucker and cunt, not directed at another poster, don’t bother me. Potty mouths are not the issue and one would have to be dense beyond black hole level to think it is.
But I will prefer a “tut tut patrol” as one way to decrease the knee jerk (or whatever they are jerking) responses that even I (a male who really initially did not think there was so much of this here, who just did not see it, and who still does not see it in many of the threads that Sunny Daze called out) see would be experienced as offensive by a large group.
And while apparently now being a jerk while jerking whatever is being jerked is not itself against the rules … per Zotti’s confused and confusing contributions … doing that which you know is offensive to a group for no particular good reason is being a jerk. (Or is it now being a dick? An asshole?) If one does that then they should be at least called out on it, and own it.
As to the thread. It would not matter if the driver objects to ANY kissing in his car (hardly believably the case) … or if they gave each other a more romantic kiss than a peck … unless they were doing something that counted as sex in public or exposure his job as driver does not include enforcing his social mores on his customers.
To be 100% fair to the driver: Uber itself hasstupid rules (my underline):
Of course, that (dumb) rule is grounds for a complaint to Uber by the driver, not the driver dumping you by the side of the road. But the very, very slim possibility exists that he thought he was acting according to an actual rule.
NYC requires any livery driver, including Uber & Lyft, to have a livery license. That’s the license he lost according to the article, so he can’t legally driver for either.
It sounds like that applies to the near mythical ride-sharing case, where you’re in a car with other passengers who you don’t know. I don’t think the “no touching!” rule applies to passengers travelling together (though the “no sex!” rule hopefully does).
Then the rule should be written to that effect. As it stands, it doesn’t.
Interesting. Thanks for pointing this out.
I don’t want to defend the driver, but I can maybe understand his claim that the kiss was “illegal,” since even a quick kiss is, technically, “sexual conduct with … fellow riders.”
By the way, we seem to be assuming in this thread that it was the homosexuality of the kiss that the driver objected to, and that he wouldn’t have reacted the same way with an opposite-sex couple. I think that’s probably true, but not necessarily, unless there’s some evidence I’ve missed.
Gamora? Isn’t she green?
In my fantasies, I’ve licked all the green off.
Addendum to my daydream: In the back seat of an Uber… driven by a Southern Baptist minister and his grandmother.
Are you suggesting lesbians are unable to kiss in a disgusting slobbery manner?
That’s just racist
