Two 4.7's equal 1 awkward ride

As I have stated here before, pools are a lottery. Sometimes you hit the jackpot, more often you get nothing.

Something a lot of people don't know about ride sharing is that ratings go both ways. When riders complete a ride they rate the driver, this is obvious to most. But what is not known to all is drivers rate passengers too. Most people have ratings somewhere in the 4.8-4.9 range. I think this is because drivers are more sensitive to ratings and give 5 stars by default, at least that is my normal move.

So when you get a rider with a score of 4.7, that is pretty bad. Like really bad. Like, what the fuck did you do to make drivers hate you bad.

I started looking at rider ratings a bit more, mostly as a curiosity. Then I formed a working theory that perhaps putting 2 low scoring riders together in a pool leads to the more awkward or rides. Having tested this for a couple weeks I am here to tell you, two 4.7's= awkward. Also, an opportunity to kinda mess with these people. To delve deeper and try to get them talking.  Challenge accepted.
