The taxi driver wasn't happy with my review.

Oh dear... Where to start...   getting dragged down to this level of simplicity is exhausting... 

 

'It' is not just true because other members have pointed it out to you...  'Its true' because its true...

 

Ride-hailing and food delivery platforms, implement a delay or anonymisation process to protect users' privacy.

This ensures that drivers or delivery partners cannot immediately identify who left a specific review or rating.

 

The primary reasons for this approach include:

Privacy Protection: Delaying or anonymising reviews helps protect the user from potential backlash or confrontations.

 

Encouraging Honest Feedback: Users are more likely to leave honest reviews if they feel secure that their identity won't be immediately linked to the feedback.

 

Aggregate Reporting: Platforms only show reviews as part of an aggregated score or after a threshold number of reviews to further ensure anonymity.

 

 

 

There - easily ascertained  !!

 

It doesn't take any prowess whatsoever to identify that your post was either a complete fabrication, or you have somehow upset this driver through other means and significantly enough for him to think about it and they return. 

 

Perhaps you were drunk enough to tell him you were leaving a 1 star review etc and thats why he became angry with you.

 

 

 

 

Can you show me in any of the t's & c's of any ride hailing app where it says that there is a delay in the review process?

Boobalah, of course! Stonewall facts, etched in the annals of history alongside the Ten Commandments and the Big Bang itself. Two books of fables that could never, in any way, compare to your real-life experiences. I can already picture future generations studying The Gospel According to Boob in school: And lo, on the fifth day, Boobs gave a 1-star review and brought righteous judgment upon the sinful driver of the tourist ghetto. Amen.

 

Honestly, mate, your humility in carrying the burden of absolute truth is nothing short of inspiring. It must be utterly exhausting being the sole custodian of reality in this chaotic world of doubt and disbelief. Keep fighting the good fight for us, bruv. Stonewall facts like yours are the anchor we all need in these turbulent and chaotic times.

You think you're clever, but you're not.  Which AI app are you using to construct your replies on the fly?...

Nope...   because that would be bowing down to the stupidity of your request...

 

Can you show us proof that your story is not a fabrication !!!...     See how easy that was.

Oh, no Bob, please don't ever employ AI to help you to write your true life stories. You're fabulous writing style and Hemingway affect goes beyond what most writers could ever dream of being capable of. It would be a sad and tragic loss if you ever abandoned your natural gift of the prose.

You have been caught in a lie... 

Caught out by the fact that its impossible for the driver to know what review you left him, impossible for him to know you left a review at all, impossible for the review to impact his rating so soon after ride.

 

IF a driver did comeback and verbally attack you - it has nothing to do with any review you left on the App.. unless of course you told him you were going to leave a poor review.

 

 

 

 

[Jingthing]

Basically a 4 out of 5 is a horrible review on these apps.

The entire ratings system is a farce.

They should drop and simply allow people to make anonymous complaints.

My understanding is that customers are rated too. Oh boy!

Dudes, here’s what really happened to Bob, again. He stumbled home late last night, after yet another lonely, solo tour of trolling the tourist ghetto’s finest establishments. Fueled by a steady diet of piss-warm Chang Beer and bad life decisions, he collapsed into his small, rickety studio apartment's squeaky, tired old bed. In his dreams, he was once again the star of a heroic saga, a lone beacon of morality in a world gone mad.

 

He awoke this morning with a start, scratching his sweaty gonads, mumbling something about “stonewall facts,” and immediately stumbled into the bathroom for his morning constitutional. After about twenty minutes of heavy pushing and deep contemplation on the perilous throne (where most of his best material comes from), he suddenly remembered the taxi driver who dared to give him attitude last week at the Terminal 21 taxi rank. “Right,” he muttered to himself, “I’ll teach that sorry old git a lesson he’ll never forget.”

 

Still bleary-eyed and hung over like a sack of wet tranny pants, he fired up his ailing laptop with its 2 screeching, loud fans, cracked his knuckles, and typed furiously about his brave battle with the irate driver. Of course, he omitted the part where he spent the whole ride quietly whispering to himself in complaint about the traffic, or how he tried to pay with sticky old coins from the bottom of his pocket which weren't accepted. Those details are, naturally, irrelevant.

 

Once the post was live, he leaned back with a satisfied smirk, a grunt and then a sniff of his underarms, whilst proud to have once again enlightened AN with another riveting chapter of Bob's BS vs. The World. 

 

Now, he’s gearing up for his next adventure, maybe it will be another brave showdown with a young waiter over ice cubes, a heated standoff with a 7-Eleven cashier over the price of a toasty, or perhaps a heroic debate with a local beach vendor about the criminal cost of coconut juice prices. Truly inspiring stuff, Bob. Don't ever stop!

I think its a good thing that customers are rated too...  why shouldn't we be.

 

If we are rude, abusive, throw-up in a taxi, keep the driver waiting too long, are not at the 'meeting point'... etc...   and behave like this repeatedly, I think its a good idea that drivers can choose to avoid us based on reputation. 

 

The good thing about an 'aggregate score' is that it doesn't rely on the prejudice of anyone person and it aids in filtering out complete tools.

Not a good enough reason - too many <deleted> out there who don't know how to behave... there's nothing wrong with accountability... 

 

... If you want to repeatedly behave so poorly that taxi drivers get angry at you - then at such systems protects the decent drivers from ever having to be exposed to your kind - they can chose not to take someone who has upset so many different drivers their 'rating' is now low... 

 

Its a good system....

I'm still in the tourist ghetto sadly and last night I used a popular ride hailing app to get me from A to B.

 

His attitude was bad from the get go. Complaining about this and that, too far, traffic, no money etc etc..

 

So when I finally arrived at my destination I gave him a 1 star review, as the app allows for that. I was visiting a friend who is sadly very ill.

 

About 20 minutes later he shows up at my friends residence again absolutely fuming, demanding that I change the review because it damages his reputation. I politely explained that the review merely mirrored the service I received and he should work on his attitude when dealing with customers. He told me to eff off in thai and drove away in a fit of rage.  He hasn't been back since and I'm leaving the ghetto now.

 

Charming chap, wouldn't you say?? How can they ever improve if they can't take even a single iota of criticism? 

Report him to the App.

do you often ask taxi drivers if they can see your reviews?.

Its well known the same way we know drivers rate us as passengers...

 

You probably don't know it because you are clearly ignorant of what goes on around you...  ignorant in life, ignorant of the information around you.

 

(there is also plenty of information all over the internet which backs that up - its easy to find... and no, you a google search yourself).

The fabrication is clearly yours...     making up stories to bash the Thai's.

 

Repeat: There no way the driver knew what rating you gave him unless you told him.

 

So... If you upset a driver so much that he returned to confront you, its for a another reason you are ignorantly oblivious to and thats not surprising as it seems you walk through life upsetting everyone around you with the ignorant fecklessness of pished up halfwit.
