Be kind & respectful

So I drive for LYFT. I encounter all kinds of people from everywhere. I luv it! Maybe because I'm a seasoned lady as you can read & see from my profile. Well from time to time there are couples. Most time it's pleasant exchange of conversation & cool pickup & drop-off. But sometimes there are, I think somewhat insecure people. The significant other of the pictured passenger gets in the vehicle first. I speak, they don't. I greet the official passenger. He or she speaks. Then the whispering. Then the awkwardness, then the attitude & bad vibe with tension so thick you could cut it with a knife. So I'll turn my music up to volume 7. Concentrate on it & the ride. Still being polite as can be. Then the drop-off tends to be awkward because the app messes up the navigation when I get near the destination. So I'll ask to get them there efficiently, respectfully & safely. I like to do door to door or step to step if I can. I back in so they can be closer. But it seems like the more I say the worse the attitude. Well needless to say I can't wait for that ride to end. I don't show or say that though. I just wish the insecure people would understand that in most cases I'm old enough to be their mother. I'm very professional & I'm not out driving to make a love connection. I've been on the other side of this. I've been without transportation plenty of times in my life. I do get paid some, but I'm really just trying to do my part to help. I remember just hoping there would be a way to get to work a few years ago. Also I cannot stand the speakerphone &/or FaceTime conversations. It seems like there's no trust in your partner riding to get to you or to go home, work or the store. I'm sure there's more but that enough for now. Can anyone relate?
