    I would have done the same damn thing. If I was a driver and some hoe was trying to do hoe things when I know kids are involved, I would be pissed. It is one thing if they are just dating I would mind my own but that is your wife and your kids you are messing around on. Marriage is not something to crap on. If you are not happy, you fix that. Get a divorce, try to work it out, whatever... Don't get yourself a side piece and just carry on having your cake and eating it too.

    I know that some people would have argued that she (the Uber driver) should have minded her business but I don't agree. She did what was right because it's her fellow lady at home that's been cheated and lied to because she's home taking care of kids. I would have done exactly the same thing the Uber lady did. It's a shame that a lady would be comfortable destroying another ladies home.

    That man cheating was none of her dang businesses. What if she was on an airplane, someone said they had sex with a goat, and the pilot flew back to the departing airport because he didn't want a person who has sex with goats on the plane. She would be outraged. She would talk about how it's the pilot's job to get them from Point A to B not to be in people's business. If you're not jeopardizing the safety of the car or discussing participation in a past or future crime then just drive and mind your business.

    I've heard about this theory that more single women are falling in love with married men. I begin to ask at what cost? Things like that shouldn't be happening and like you said, the Uber driver did what is best at that moment.

    None of her business. I am not saying he is wrong. He is wrong AF. If she had a baker, hotel, whatever, she doing that? Maybe....maybe not. What it sounds like to me? She's projecting. Some stuff happened to her similarly maybe. The guy is a peace of sh*t, no doubt. But you get in that business to drive people, that's it.

    My line for picking up someone is outwardly racist and rude, or if there is possibly dangerous situation to myself or someone. He is with an underage girl or boy that it doesn't seem right. Or something like that.

    I can definitely understand someone else doing the same thing and I wouldn't say they are wrong. They are applying their 'line'. My line is different. Cheating husband or wife. I'll roll my eyes, I'll have a face, but I'm gonna take that money do my job.

    Honest question (might seem slightly off topic):

    Do any of you see a private Uber / Lyft driver refusing to drive a couple of cheaters to their destination to cheat (because they find cheating / adultery / infidelity unethical and sinful) akin to a Christian / Muslim bakery refusing to bake a gay-themed cake for a gay marriage / wedding (because they find the practice of homosexuality unethical and sinful)?

    Both the private driver and the private Christian bakery put their own ethics and morals over business and feel uncomfortable aiding (or participating) in any form of sin or vice. And the riders and customers can simply take their business elsewhere and give poor reviews if they are not happy about their experience.

    Old, broke-down, storm weathered, bitter, angry, loser, Uber driving Civil War relic. Best she could do is mind her business, or at the least is a referral to a counselor. Other than that Shut Up.

    And then she issues a warning as if she is some high moral Authority deputized by Gloria Steinheim(CIA). Blabbering on & on like Sheriff Grady Jude in Florida. Pointing her booger ridden finger addressing “Cheaters”⁉️I was half expecting her to lapse into some nonsensical diatribe about “it’s my way or the highway”, or “you got ‘till 5 o’clock to be out of Town”, or “I’m the Law in these parts”. Disgusting & Absurd🤮🤮

    What the man did is wrong, but I really don't think it was her business to pry into the private life of one of her customers. Now if the man was doing something illegal, then yeah she's got every right to put a stop to it and not give him a ride. Cheating is terrible, but it's not against the law. I only wish the best for the woman and her children, and I hope the cheater has learned his lesson after this.

    I don't think it's her place to get involved at all. Even if she felt the situation was wrong, she has no say in those people's lives. If they aren't causing her issues I'd understand, but this is between this man, his wife and whoever he's cheating on with.

    But I get it, the dude is a clear douche in the situation and honestly deserves to be outed, but it's still not her place to do it. If anything, she could have dropped them off elsewhere and told them to get another driver.

    I'm a man and I wouldn't support what the man did for any reason. Imagine if it's my daughter he's done that to after all her sacrifice in the family? It's totally wrong and I would support what the Uber lady did.

    If he's no longer interested in the marriage, he should come out open and ends things officially.
