So sick of seeing this...
Has it become common for others lately, seeing UE/Doordash drivers in nice ass $60k+ SUVs etc driving around recently? In my area of DFW it's been flooded with all these very clear housewives driving around in expensive ass cars doing this job simply because they're bored? Like wtf are y'all playing at man...you married rich for a reason right? But now your messing up my livelihood I support my disabled child with, simply because you're bored sitting at the house?!? Literally heard one yesterday saying this talking to another one, laughing and going on like yeah I've got nothing else to do and coming out doing this, like, I just got a bunch of 10 dollar orders so easy to do, meanwhile I was standing there waiting for a 5.85 order thinking how I haven't seen an "easy" 10 dollar order in over a freaking week and how my income has dropped easily by 60% over the past 7 weeks, I can't help but look towards all these nice car bored people with their new accounts and perfect ratings with new account promos boosting them as the cause as to why it's total sht for the rest of us lately and why I'm struggling like crazy although for years I've had consistently solid ratings. Sorry but this sht really pisses me off when people who don't need to be doing this are out here doing it for kicks while I can't sleep at night wondering how badly the next day will be and whether I can even afford food tomorrow. Just isn't right in my book. Rant over.
EDIT: To those calling me all kinds of stuff, or how I could save money, change my situation etc. Backstory on myself. After high school I joined the air force and was planning on staying till retirement, but when I was 20 unknown spinal defects reared their head, got me separated from service and started destroying my life. When I was 22 I could no longer stand for longer than 15-20mins without my legs collapsible under me like they weren't even there. I worked in EMS for awhile but eventually became a liability and had to quit. Only job that would entertain hiring such a person was pizza delivery until even that, they weren't interested in keeping me around anymore. Led me to Uber years ago. During this, became sole provider to a 6 month old cause his mother couldn't be bothered anymore and bailed on us. At first Uber was enough to support us just enough to keep a roof and a car for work and some food (always cook cheap at home haven't ate out in many years) I don't drink or anything else. Over the years, saturation set in along with other things like the economy etc leading to losses in income across the board, eventually leading to us having to move into a spare bedroom at a relatives and pay whatever can in rent. Market got even worse, so there goes the car too. For almost 4yrs I've used my relatives car for work. Ive been fortunate enough they let me do that, although I have been told by them that if I didn't have my child that I'd probably be out on the streets. I don't even have a nice phone, it's a $20 prepaid one with 2gb that's barely able to even run the Uber app albeit it crashes the phone occasionally. Its rather easy to say find a different job, cut down on spending etc, but when you've already literally done that, and you can't go find different work because of a condition you can't control, and you're truly stuck in the situation you're in, then maybe then you'd understand my perspective on things. I've already made every single cut back possible, I'm currently wearing clothes that I bought 7yrs ago. I literally eat one bowl of a ramen in the evening, no breakfast no lunch. Just that each night. Coffee is the $3 jar of instant crap that makes like a 100 cups. Its rather easy saying do this do that but guess what, I have. Years ago.
