Woman's Creepy Lyft Driver From 3 Weeks Ago Suddenly Drops By Her Workplace And She Urges Ladies Everywhere To Be Careful

A Lyft ride that should have ended at home turned into something far more unsettling for one woman. Three weeks after the trip, the same driver showed up at her workplace, and he already knew her name.

The woman, who shared the story on Twitter, said the driver used details from the app to track her down and ask for her at the front desk. What followed was an awkward, frightening encounter that left her warning other women to stay alert, especially when rideshare drivers know more than they should.

By the time she posted about it online, plenty of people were already comparing notes about similar experiences. Read on.

OP's warning started with her sharing her story

He couldn't take a hint with the fake number

Now OP wouldn't be able to shake off the feeling that she's always being followed by that man

OP clarified that it was Lyft and not Uber

If you question why just saying 'no' is not always the best option

They will use any excuse they can to cover up what they're doing

Workplaces should have a policy to protect their workers. You can't tell by looks alone who's dangerous and who's not.

This is way too creepy

That kind of follow-up is exactly what makes the story so disturbing.

Another Twitter user shared their story about a dangerous driver

At first, he made what she thought was an uncomfortable joke until he tried to point out that he was serious.

He kept pushing, regardless of whatever reason she gave him.

Not taking the hint at all, he asked her out again despite anything she said.

Beyond scared now, she finds a way to contact her dad.

And her guy friends, so she could at least have them call her to pretend that she really has a boyfriend.

That's the only time the driver let it go.

Another woman said the same kind of behavior can spiral fast.

It also echoes the Reddit AITA about pet sitting Jens’s aggressive cat while feeling unsafe.

These kinds of experiences create trauma for women.

People in the replies started swapping their own safety habits and close calls.

People started sharing safety tips.

If the dangerous encounter occurs outside of rideshare situations, you can also use these.

Protect yourself and don't give away your number.

Always check this feature before getting into the car and verify the plate number.

Some are suggesting that maybe it's time to take taxis again.

If there's no policy in place at your workplace, remember this rule and protect each other.

Women getting harassed and stalked in rideshares has been an unfortunately common occurrence. Women already feel unsafe walking alone, and now they have to come up with smart ways to defend themselves when they're just trying to get to and from places.

It creates trauma that extends into their daily lives. There should be actions taken against these incidents, but sometimes they are dismissed out of fear of dangerous people coming back for them.

May this kind of creepiness stay far away from every workplace.
