This Woman Had A Very Scary Encounter With Her UberEats Driver
After a 12 and a half-hour long shift, a woman decided to get some breakfast delivered to her via UberEats.
What happened after her food was delivered had her freaking out.
A TikTok user named Justine (@justinejhxo) made a video explaining her scary interaction with her UberEats delivery driver. Justine had decided to order breakfast from McDonald’s after a long night shift at work.
Unfortunately, instead of her UberEats driver just dropping off her food and immediately leaving, he stuck around to chat with her for way too long.
Justine started searching for ways to tell the driver he needed to leave, telling him that she needed to go to bed, saying “thank you so much,” and trying to say ‘goodbye’ multiple times.
Instead of being respectful and driving away, the driver decided to message her via the UberEats app.
“Just look because I’m speechless,” says Justine as she displays screenshots of the multiple messages her driver continued to send her. “I could just scream.”
He began messaging her and asking her very inappropriate questions like if she is single or is in a relationship, sending her ‘kissing’ emojis and sending her his personal phone number.

Justine lives by herself, and all of these texts were being sent as he was sitting outside her apartment.
“Obviously, I just lied and said I’ve got a boyfriend,” says Justine.
Then, as Justine tried to close their transaction and interaction on the UberEats app, the driver began calling her on her cellphone.
“Not only does this man have my mobile number now, he has my address,” says Justine. “Now I’m tired. I’m tired.”

Justine’s video gained over 2,700 comments, with many fellow TikTok users sharing similar experiences and sympathy.
“I had a food delivery driver visit me the next day to ‘check if I was okay,'” wrote one user. “I don’t order takeout when I’m alone anymore.”
Another user expressed anger in the way women are practically always vulnerable, no matter the circumstances.

“The fact women can’t even enjoy food after a long day without being harassed, and this is supposed to be the safer alternative than going out,” wrote the user.
Justine eventually made an update video on her TikTok to let her viewers know that she did end up reporting the driver to UberEats.
UberEats sent back a less than ideal response, saying that they apologize and that they will “speak to the driver.”
Justine explains that she did not call the police because she believed they wouldn’t do anything about it. Due to the situation, she will be deleting the app.
“On a serious note, judging by the comments, it’s happened to a lot of women, which isn’t okay,” says Justine. “But am I surprised? No. It’s just a shame.”
