I literally had an argument with one Indian lady as i only take a single person. I asked her politely to be seated in the front and still she sat on the back and literally told me she is not comfortable to seat with other men in the front seat. I, out of courtesy let her and did not cancel the ride. But it was very awkward. #notyourChauffeur EDIT: Lot of posts are about the lady have a choice where she wants to seat and it makes no difference where they seat. I wanted to update that she absolutely had choice and she choose to seat in the back seat and i allowed her and was polite enough not to cancel the ride, which is what i will do in future. And like her i also have a choice to allow people to ride with me only on the front seat.. i have no obligations to let anyone ride on the back seat... if they don't want they can cancel their ride and do an Uber/Lyft... It makes a huge difference where the person is seated for some culture it means you are their driver? Would she seat in the back seat if her boss/Team members was driving and say that i only ride with my husband on the front seat?
Big ass?
As a non-Indian lady whoâs always cautious and wary of her surroundings, I probably also would have asked to sit in the back seat. This shouldnât be called out as race-specific. Also, you never know what past experiences she might have been through that makes her nervous to sit in the front seat with a man.
Itâs ok in Lyft or Uber. In scoop that will not be acceptable.
if you are cautious then rideshare is not a great idea i do respect your choice but i dont understand how front seat is less safe than back... it is race specific as i the lady mentioned the same in her reply also out of hundreds of drives i made only indian girls seems to do that..
Seems like you lost my brother. I kicked one out one time because she did the same thing. This is not for Lyft I am assuming, I was using scoop.
Was she hot? đ
it is irrelevant... i am not doing scoop to hook up...
Iâm just asking for a friend
Not acceptable in scoop. I would have cancelled the ride.
thats what i will do in future... and i blocked her
this is nothing to do with race! grow up and respect peopleâ feelings. if a woman is uncomfortable sitting in front seat with other men, then there must be a reason ( some history to her..?) i would not be offended.. also you can silently unfavorite her in-scoop if it bothers u that much...
yeah i do respect that and also i do have my boundaries that i will not take a ride in back seat.. she should have cancelled if she was not comfortable.. i did block her on scoop
Too late. You should have cancelled. If she is that worried about sitting in the front seat, she can always order a Lyft/Uber/cab. The race baiting was unnecessary though.
Oh ur master baiting?
I am that master baiting
What would you have gained if she sat in the front row next to you? I donât think scoop has a user agreement that says you have to sit in the front row because itâs not your Lyft or Uber. You are scooping because you needed that âpeanutsâ, donât be cheap, respect your co riders preference. If you are offended because your co rider sits at the back row, donât scoop (just like how you have suggested to the âIndianâ girl that she should not use Scoop if she is cautious).
Are you Indian?

Are you driving people for free?
its a minimal pay for car sharing .. why should i drive people for free.. i do it to share the ride with interesting people also to reduce my carbon footprint... not for the money definitely.. it is actually peanuts compared to my TC
Let us fine respectable blind people be the judge of those nuts. TC or GTFO
