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

by Chelsi

Years ago if you would tell people that they could get into a stranger's car, give them your name, and have them drive you from work to your house, that raises all kinds of red flags. Now, they're just called ride shares.

So there are taxis, which have been around for a long time but rideshares are run differently. Since the only thing, you get when something happens is the driver's name and their plate number, plus the hope that the company gives them consequences.

They are not bonded to the company which might make other drivers bold enough to harass their passengers. And that problem is actually well known among women.

A Twitter user with the handle sighjunwa shared her horrifying experience with a Lyft driver who decided to pay her a visit at work. A driver was a complete stranger and took advantage of the information he got from booking in the app.

The driver casually asked the hosts of her workplace where she was using her name and they led him to her. The workplace doesn't have a policy that safeguards the safety of their employees wherein strangers couldn't ask for information about an employee.

It led to an uncomfortable and terrifying encounter. OP came online to warn other women and a lot of them shared their own stories and tips on how to keep safe.

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

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 and from places.

It creates trauma and extends to their daily life. There should be actions against these but sometimes they shake it off in fear of dangerous people coming back for them.
