That’s fine, just say that. There’s just nothing wrong with someone wanting to make conversation and that doesn’t make them stupid is all I’m saying 😭 and I never said not to take the hint, that’s what my mom does. But why are ppl like oop getting offended at someone trying to talk to you

Well they said Stupid AND conversational. So the OP isn’t saying because they are conversational they are stupid. They are saying, not only are they conversational but they are dumb for other reasons.

Yes I just feel like some Americans are so anti social and judgmental at times. It feel like they’re looking down on their uber drivers when we should all be friendly and kind to ppl, esp if we’re in a car with them

I never said anyone should be rude. I simply said some people don’t welcome conversation and most people complain Uber drivers don’t take the hint. Maybe that person had bad experiences. Thats their opinion. They never said any of those things ur levying Ur just letting someone’s post on a platform hurt you personally bc ur mom is an uber driver.

I never said you said anyone should be rude. I was talking about how I felt about the post and American culture, not you personally. And this isn’t about my mom, it’s about humanity. Coming from a community based mindset where we should be kind to ppl in our community, esp those helping us. And not calling them stupid or being so against talking to parts of our community. You’re taking it personally, it’s commentary on individualist society

I’m an introvert too. It’s okay to be friendly to ppl providing a service to you. If you don’t want to talk at the current moment, you can express that

I’m not taking anything anyway. But you are literally adding random stuff into your responses. I’m going “yeah points A and B” And you’re coming in saying “yeah but C D E F” Like I never said anything about those letters. But you continue to add things into the conversation that were never stated.

You first replied saying the OP was calling uber drivers stupid. I clarified not. Then you rebutted saying “we should all be friendly and kind” when no one previously mentioned being rude to uber drivers, which yes bringing up kindness without bringing up rudeness does imply that you assumed OP is being rude. I once again pointed out that wht u said was wrong. And then when you said you’re coming from a humanitarian approach you talked about treatment. When OP never talked about treatment.

They cannot treat Uber drivers badly bc they don’t use Uber. They use Waymo because they prefer it. Which when using a humanitarian approach is the responsible thing to do. Removing yourself from a place where you are unsatisfied and thus going to a place where you are more comfortable after basing an opinion off of past bad experiences. Which we don’t have information on. One bad online comment will not send shockwaves into the hearts of uber drivers felt across the globe

Yeah like I said I’m making commentary on the post by adding my own points? I never said you said anything about those points, they’re MY points 😭 And the oop was calling them stupid? Thinking your uber driver is stupid and being annoyed that they’re tryin to have a conversation isn’t friendly and kind at all. I don’t go around calling ppl I see out and about stupid, that’s unkind and unfriendly. The op is referencing their unkind treatment of ppl that are providing a service for them

By calling them stupid… and they’re clearly referencing their unfriendly history with drivers. Of which is why they go the anti social route. That’s my whole point. Ppl are rude af to service workers and should treat them more kindly. That’s MY point. You can make your own points inspired by the post, of which I never made any of those points either but I’m not dogging on you for having your own opinions

1) we aren’t talking about ur points. When ur replying to someone u dont add in random points. Thats disingenuous to the discussion. 2) it’s a simple post. Water off ur back. Negative thoughts and opinions will exist forever. “People should be nicer” yeah no shit. But people still do and say shitty things in America as well as everywhere else in the world. 3) someone can be polite to someone’s face and actually not mean it. It’s the difference between being nice and kind.

Op could have been a nice person and still made a post shitting on uber drivers. Which again. Which uber drivers currently bc they don’t use uber. This whole “they’re so mean to uber drivers!!!” Conversation ur having is null and void Bc they don’t use uber They use Waymo

We are talking about my points bc it’s my post about a certain subject 😭 of which you were engaging with so I added my points… of which you’re welcome to do as well. This is a conversation, we’re both going to add our perspectives! That’s what a conversation is. How is any of that disingenuous. I’m not taking this personally, there is nothing to roll off my back. It’s just a CONVERSATION. Sorry I want to talk about how we should be kinder and friendlier to each other. You dint have to engage.

Calling a stranger stupid when you don’t know them, whether it be to their face or not, is not kind and communal. It’s concerning that ppl are becoming so anti social they’d rather be driven by a driverless car but bc they’re so adverse to friendliness. That’s my entire point. You can agree or not

Anonymous OP 2w

Okay and let me ask you. Making this post, telling them that, telling all of this that, what will it do? Nothing. Everyone is walking away from this the same they walked in. People saying things that hurt other’s feelings will never stop And no uber drivers are directly effected 1) bc they aren’t going to see it 2) op uses Waymo and not uber

What will any post on GT do?? Not much. But we still have conversations. Conversations with varying perspectives is how we learn and grow! I use this app to talk about points or perspectives I’m interested in. No one has to respond if they don’t think it’s worth a discussion. It’s not about uber drivers, again it’s concern of an overall trend of increasing isolation, individualism, and anti socialness that impacts the way we treat anyone. This kinda attitude towards ppl shoudnt be normalized
