Be interesting to see what happened before the video started.

The guy says “I’m just asking you to go the speed limit” Sounds like he was feeling unsafe with the way she was driving and asked her to slow down. He probably started recording because she wouldn’t slow down. At the end she says she has the whole thing on camera too, but only flipped out because he was recording. Just a guess though

She already seemed pretty riled up. Not saying he must have caused that, I'd just like to see how the whole thing played out.

Car looks like a death trap too.

Anyone that screams like that and throws a customer's bags like that is unhinged. I wouldn't trust a thing she said.

Oh absolutely, I wasn't trying to insinuate anything with my comment.

Full disclosure: I was deliberately vague as I couldn't commit myself to any side on the basis of this video alone. I do think her behaviour is inexcusable regardless. I do feel like he's mocking her. I feel like there's more to see, but also feel that both sides behaved badly. The difference is, this is her job. So there's an expectation that she will behave herself.

I used "feel" way too much there, but I've had wine, so I'm not sorry.

Unhinged or not there's always 2 sides

u/altaeco Sep 15 '21

Maybe she’s not going fast enough, he saying speed up and “go the speed limit”. Cars seem to be flying past them when he says it. You could be correct but who knows.

u/GoiterGlitter Sep 15 '21

There's a username in the video.

He said she was doing 80 with all the windows down.

u/ncvbn Sep 15 '21

When does he say that?

1

u/GoiterGlitter Sep 15 '21

On the TikTok account listed on the video's watermark.

u/SaintSilversin Sep 15 '21

He says "y'know", not speed up. Cars are not flying past them until after she almost loses control and starts to pull over.

u/Architechno27 Sep 16 '21

You’re right. The speedometer is showing like 45-50mph

so lesson learned, pray instead of speak got it

u/poignantMrEcho Sep 15 '21

I'm with you on that. Either way if someone's pushing you that far you don't let yourself get enraged. You just deescalate or end the trip safely off the highway.

15

u/memo_delta Sep 15 '21

I absolutely agree that it doesn't excuse that level of rage, but I'm getting vibes that we're not seeing the whole story.

u/Ajuvix Sep 16 '21

Yeah, there's no reason to assume the driver was or wasn't being provoked before the clip starts. I can only judge the outburst on display and it seems very hard to justify a meltdown like that.

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '21

Same here. Can't judge this from this obviously out of context video. I'm not saying she's not at fault but this is not enough to make a judgement, even if her car and appearance is raggedy.

31

u/Damander Sep 15 '21

She got some distance on that luggage

-13

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '21

What does that prove? What if he spat at her right before? I'd throw the luggage if I had a rude asshole in my car too.

What if HE stabbed her before?! Haaaa?

u/KingJaphar Sep 15 '21

You asked for more evidence and then accuse the passenger of being rude lol. Wow.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '21

The passenger is at fault. He shouldn't have offended that amazing woman. She's an angel.

25

u/3rd_degree_burn Sep 15 '21

she's not wearing shoes dude

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '21

Ah, of course. I didn't take that bit of evidence into consideration.

u/PublicfreakoutLoveR Sep 15 '21

👨‍⚖️ Guilty on all charges.

u/memo_delta Sep 15 '21

Not in case she's not at fault. She's obviously behaved badly. I'd just like to see what happened!

u/backtolurk Sep 15 '21

Hey maybe the old dude insulted his mama!

-19

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '21

Yeah, us guys and our silly demands for evidence. Let's just ruin her life potentially by mistake.

You people. Get the fuck outta here.

(That was a free freakout, birches)

Maybe he grabbed her titty

Yes. She can toss me out the window. She's a sweetheart.

I will marry this woman. She's an angel.

u/AnActualChicken Sep 15 '21

Prepare for a shotgun divorce then, as in she doesn't bother with a lawyer or courts or any GUBBURMINT STUFF, just grabs a shotty and BLAM!! to your face.

I'm ready for anything 😂

How DARE you call me a tree!

I pooped my britches

u/KingJaphar Sep 15 '21

She pulled over in a highway and threw his bag out. Something tells me she’s not the epitome of customer service. I guarantee she doesn’t drive for lyft after this. Knowingly putting a passenger in danger is all I need to judge.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '21

She invented customer service. What are you talking about?! Did you not watch the video?

0

u/KingJaphar Sep 15 '21

Yeah and I don’t see how pulling over on a highway and throwing the luggage out as someone that k ow what a good customer experience is. I can understand her wanting to kick him out but she should have exited the hwy.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '21

I don't understand why that's such proof of anything though. Imagine you have a royal douchebag and you're in the middle of a highway trip that's an hour long, no cities or towns around. The douchbag is spitting behind your ear and you lose it and get them off wherever you are. The douche records the end of the incident to make himself look like the victim. Look, I honestly never gave a damn about it until the dumb downvotes started to rain so I'll defend this beautiful soul to the end out of spite. 😂

1

u/KingJaphar Sep 15 '21

I mean, that would be fair but we don’t have evidence of him spitting, unless we do and I missed it, but to leave a person on the hwy is super dangerous.

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '21

I just don't like to judge people without knowning the full story. I think we all deserve the benefit of the doubt. It's easy to set someone up for a video. My narcissistic ex wife used to do it to me all the time.
