    Any of you ever given less than 5 stars for Uber/lyft? What was the reason? Do you do it routinely? Ever go below 4? It’s turned into one of the most ceremonial things ever for me.

        Completely binary. 5 = You delivered me to destination. 1 = You failed to deliver me to destination.

        Driver talked on the phone the whole time and dropped me two blocks from my destination without realizing it. I gave him 4 stars. Only sub-5 that I remember. But I've always had good experiences.

        I'm happy if my driver is talking on the phone, glad they get to spend their time working putting energy into their relationships instead of just driving all day

        I don't find this concept objectionable on its face, but stars don't mean anything, so I don't give anything other than 5, since what am I rating? if I liked it? Not every lyft driver can be the one who was a translator in Afghanistan and told stories on the way to the airport

        Twice. Dangerous, distracted driving. Like almost getting us into two wrecks in a 30 minute time frame.

        Nope. Blind driver? 5 stars. French fries and ketchup on the floor? 5 stars.

        Only once, they missed the same exit on the highway twice in a row. 4 stars.
