Unfortunate rating of a Grab driver

I had wanted to get another Grab ride yesterday when the apps requested me to rate my previous ride.

It's the one I mentioned in this post,


I was a bit annoyed because I didn't feel like rating it.

But then again, I can't get another ride without doing so.

At first I had wanted to give just one star out of five for that ride because I really didn't enjoy the political sermon that the driver gave me throughout the ride.

Then I thought that would be quite mean. After all the car was clean and I reached my destination safely.

So I put two stars and submitted it.

However, the apps demanded for me to state my reason for giving the low rating for the ride.

I clicked on "others" and wrote a bit of "Please tell your drivers not to give unsolicited political lectures".

Really, it's so troublesome.

I wish Uber is still around.

Wahid Omar as an Uber driver back then. I don't think he gave political lectures to his passengers. 

It was so much more hassle free.

But seriously, why la people like that Grab driver have to force people to listen to such political lectures.

It's annoying, okay.

I know, I could have just told the Grab driver to shut up but I didn't like to take the risk of ending up quarrelling with him.

After all, I have bad experience with people like him.

They believe they were always right and those who are not with them are bad people....either Umno goons, racists or racist Umno goons.

Yup, I got those from people who commented in this blog.

I think many of you all PH people were quite nasty.

Either that or just plain condescending and annoying.

So, I rather not layan your comments too much.

The same case as that Grab driver.

What?

I also gave political lectures?

Hello, if I did that, it's in this blog of mine which is my own little corner of the cyberspace.

I never force anyone to come here to read what I wrote, okay.

I didn't even try to promote this blog by linking it to Facebook or twitter or even getting other bloggers to include it in their blog roll.

Well, there are a few other things I would like to write about but I needed to get this one done first.

I was just irritated that I have to rate that Grab ride and forced to give it a poor review.

I simply can't give the driver a good review instead because I really don't like him forcing me to listen to his political views and propaganda.

Still, I don't like doing that to people, and that includes even those whom I don't like.

Hopefully my review wouldn't affect him too much.

I know that he's simply want to cari makan driving Grab.

Okay, I'll write some more later in the day if I have the time.

Ciao.

  3. "I simply can't give the driver a good review instead because I really don't like him forcing me to listen to his political views and propaganda."

    Wow, Annie.

    You must have really enjoyed the previous regime and it's force-feeding of crap down everyone's throats, kan?

    How much coverage did oppo politicians get on TV3, Media Prima, RTM, and Bernama?

    Compare it to now.

    The most pro-Umno news outlet with large readership is M'kini.

    Yes, really.

    Ofen the coverage of Umno leaders on a given day is heavier than PH politicians.

    Guess that’s why Jibby spoke to them exclusively to get his excuses to the public.

    He doesn’t seem to rate TV3, Media Prima, RTM, and Bernama highly now.

    Much less, the bloga2 pelacur prepaid : )

    Or even the Very Very Very Very Neutral Unpaids?

    But we should all thank TV3, Media Prima, RTM, and Bernama as well as the bloga2 pelacur prepaid, for their excellent propanganda efforts that delivered 36% of the vote to BN.

    Power, beb!

    So I guess politics 2-way street huh Annie?

    Next time just enjoy the ride : )

    PS: I can tell you - next time take red & white taxi lah. Around 70% of the taxi drivers I know hate the current Umno. They are mostly Malays, too.

    But you can't give them any star ratings...hee hee! Just hand over the cash...peacefully.

  4. Poor Wahid.

    He was one of the smarter ones, and still got into huge messes with facts & figures.

    He shot himself right in the feet on the issue of BR1M, not even supporting the official line:

    http://www.institutrakyat.org/governments-household-income-figures-dont-add-up-br1m-overpaid/

    http://malaysiansmustknowthetruth.blogspot.com/2014/09/rm5900-average-household-income-wahid.html

    Here is the gaping hole in Wahid's assertion, fully exposed:

    "Previously, the government boasted that BR1M had been given to those households earning less than RM3,000 per month, representing 5.2 million or 80% of all Malaysian households. Yesterday in Parliament, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Abdul Wahid Omar disclosed that the number of households earning less than RM3,000 per month only amount to 2 million, or 28.7% of all households. How did 3.2 million households suddenly clear the RM3,000 per month threshold?"

    After this, Wahid went into “elegant silence” on this point (don’t feel bad, Salleh Keruak claimed that half of all Malaysian families live below the poverty line. That is not what the EPU said at the time.)

    But his Uber driving was good, at least...

    1. Good answer bro.

      I was in a Grab going to Putrajaya 2 days before election.

      They driver had a very long conversation with me.

      He was Malay but I think slightly mamak blood. I can also tell he is hardcore BN supporter.

      He was asking me what is this 1MDB thing. He understands basics only.

      I explained in layman's terms.

      As he dropped me off I was closing the car door and (forgetting where I was) I called "Undi Tun bro!" to him.

      I got massive glare from the guys walking out of the ministry doors.

      The driver saw it and smiled and waved to me.

      Of course if this guy had told me he don't wanna sembang pasal politik, we can change subject very easily.

      Takde hal.

      After all, many other subjects to talk about!

  18. Annie,

    That's the thing about you, you are honest to a fault.

    For example, you didn't like what the Grab driver was saying, so you gave him a two-star rating because that was what you really felt he deserved.

    You were asked for your opinion and you expressed your honest opinion.

    Me?

    I couldn't do it - I have always given Grab drivers 4-stars no matter what.

    Perhaps it is because I always side with the working class and I want them to know that at least one person appreciates their effort in doing something for me, I dunno.

    2. You know, by giving drivers a 4 stars no matter what will also get them banned from the platform (on a slower basis). Drivers need to maintain a certain rating to continue driving. I sincerely hope your 4 stars no matter what is a typo.

  20. The quickest solution to the problem would have been a polite and terse reminder to the Grab-driver that you're not interested in his political opinions or political issues and you'd rather enjoy the ride quietly. You were actually encouraging his rant passively. What's wrong with you speaking up?

    But I do feel sorry for him/her having to slave away in what seems like a thankless job.

  32. Dear Narcissistic Annie, so does your blog when spinning the real issues about politics nowadays. I rate you 2 of 10. Readers can say what they think about your bitching since its open to public reading.

    The Grab driver just being honest on his view so can you. Why the fuss then?

    You should keep your blog private so that you can only get ass licking comments, praising and your syok sendiri grandmother stories. Does that make sense? You need to practice what you have bitching all the time.

    1. What the fuss about? One is a rider who pays for a grab service was ask to rate for the service and so happen the ‘extra unsolicited disservice as in lectures’ was included in the service rendered. Macam ‘lebih sudu daripada kuah’, that kind la. So if the rider want to rate ‘2’, by all means go ahead. after all service paid already.

      Now the second part, i dont remember the blog writer charge the reader for reading the opinion n rantings?

      Do try to make sense n think through...

  34. At risk of Annie losing her balance after reading this:

    The matter is not about the Grab driver or his political monologue.

    It can be seen as the Bad Habit. Remember the one the blogger said? The natural tendency to support the underdog.

    Using that bad habit, who is the real underdog,the one who suffers more in life?

    The Grab driver who has to ferry people around under stress from heat and jams for a pittance in order to buy his daily plate of mixed rice so as not to depend on his daughter, incidentally also named Annie.

    Or, the subject of his monologue, a guy born with a silver spoon with over a hundred million in cash in his residences besides a collection of expensive wristwatches and bespoke leather bags, one of which made from the skins sloughed from crocs up in the Himalayas.

    The Grab driver was making small talk to try and reduce his own minute-by-minute pain, no doubt. He knows he will get no promotion or increment or bonus or medical allowance in his life. It has not been easy for him and his Annie. He has no one to talk to everyday in his daily grind. He is an underdog of society.

    Just as a blog is a virtual reflection of the going-on's in the minds of the same society's members.

    That all said, could his monologue have been stopped so that the blogger does not have to think others are condescending when they are only exasperated with her (whom everyone actually loves to bits 'cos she's hot, and any hotter everyone will go down with pneumonic fever)?

    The solution is simple-lah. It's every woman's standard excuse to stop something - "'Bang, i've a headache tonight".

    Well, in his case, it would be, "Uncle, i've a migraine now and need to rihat sebentar" (Then flash those eyes sweetly at him in his rear view mirror).

    Any man driver will understand that line perfectly, and comply.

    On reaching the destination, the passenger alights after making a motion to feel her forehead, smiles one of those ruby-lips smiles (ruby, not pink) and thanks him for his understanding, handing over with a nod of the head in appreciation, a five ringgit note 'for Uncle to have a drink after this'.

    Only five ringgit to get back one's balance in life - priceless.

    Meanwhile...silver spoon's hotshot lawyer may just get to spring his client free from those first charges. The prosecutor and judge are in the cross-hairs. This is not underdog befitting the bad habit. This is overdog mongrel warfare.

I don’t know what to say of this Malays from Umno which I think Annie you also belongs to this group. Don’t forget he also let China rip off all the assets in Malaysia. In years from now Malays will understand that it was the Chinese who gave 95% of the votes to kick out Najib and save the country from being sold off to China and become an army base of China. And they say the Chinese here are not patriotic .

Talking about Politics is his Right as a Driver and you are asked about Rating him base of Service Provided. Please Grab a Taxi or Drive your Own Car if you are So Damn Bitchy about it.

    //im also a grab driver//

    I am truly shocked!!! No joke!!!

    I thought you were a middle-class Malay with a good job in some government agency or a GLC. I really did.

    Why are you a Grab driver?

    I would have thought that you believe UMNO has looked after the Malays so well in the last 60 years.

    You have had all the opportunities in the world laid at your feet, all the financial assistance you ever wanted for your every wish, all those universities built solely for your benefit, and yet you drive GrabCar?

    I am sorry to hear that your life is not as comfortable as I thought.

    FFS, why are you still defending an UMNO which has done nothing for you but made you drive Grab to supplement your normal income?? Assuming you have a normal income, that is.

    As a Grab driver, surely you must have met other Grab drivers who are Chinese and Indians as well.

    These Chinese and Indian drivers have received ZERO assistance from UMNO, have not benefited one bit from UMNO and are forced to drive Grab to supplement their normal incomes - some of them are even full time drivers.

    And YOU are EXACTLY like them!!!

    Don't you ever ask yourself why?

    When you are supposed to be so much better off due to all the help UMNO was supposed to have given you??

    Could it be that UMNO has given you nothing of any substance?

    That all that assistance and all those universities are meaningless? Useless?

    There is still hope - like many other young Malaysians, your children and your children's children will probably NEVER need to drive Grab under a Pakatan government.
