I was enduring a long Uber ride earlier this week and quickly grew bored.

I noticed my driver had an exceptionally high rating (4.99), and I grew curious about my rating.

It took me a second to find it, but when I did, my jaw dropped.

I assumed it would be flawless.

I'm a nice guy. Nice smile. Southern charm. Great manners. Lots of gratitude.

I don't smell like smoke, and I've never puked in the backseat.

So when I saw my rating, I was flabbergasted.

4.8 (!?!)

This means for every 4 people that give me 5 stars, someone gives me a 4.

In Uber-land, that's basically a 0, as far as I'm concerned.

Maybe it's my quiet nature.

Maybe I don't tip well enough.

I assumed I was God's gift to Uber drivers when, apparently, I left something to be desired.

But it's good to know where I stand and a reminder that you can't please everyone.

Do your best, smile, and be friendly.

You never know how far a little kindness can go.

You got this,

P.S. My Uber rating might be 4.8, but do you wanna know what I give 5 stars to?
