if you're sitting in an uber pool hoping the driver gets another call/pickup, you're a freak
It isn't freakish to feel some degree of empathy for someone being paid less than $5 for a 5+mile ride that took over 20 minutes, even if it's something they signed up for.
I suppose as a passenger calling for an UberPool you are signing up for the possibility that no one else gets picked up, but I didn't realize you could take an UberPool and not have any other pickups until it happened. I'll probably just do UberX or Lyft from now on just to be safe. (At least w/ Lyft you can tip in the app)
