Last time complain on stomp still can get $50 ntuc voucher, now complain on tiktok only get backlash
When asking for ANYTHING outside/on top of the usual services, always be prepared to be turned down, or additional charges to be involved.
It is entirely up to the other party whether they wanna take the request or not. Or offer it for free. This is a free market society.
Never knew we live in this of age where graciousness and kindness is calculatable
One time, I was taking a Grab with a friend and I told my friend that I was so thirsty because it was such a hot day but I had forgotten to bring a bottle of water... And the Grab driver offered me a can of Sprite! So nice of him. :)
but think about the sugars. hes leading u down the path of type 2 diabeteeeeesssss.....
hehe - kidding
We hope you gave him 5 stars on the app
yeah bro, seriously if you give ur driver even an extra $2 when you mess up (e.g. late), it makes everything okay one. because that makes the whole difference of those few minutes. plus, they appreciate that you haven't taken them for granted.
The girl in crutches damn entitled. She demanded driver to go up pick her, expect driver to text politely when driving. Not every driver has good command of English and not every driver can text a good complete sentence and drive safely concurrently. She can complain to grab all she want but why need to shame grab driver on tik tok? He may wanted to earn a bit extra to cover cost as he may have a family to feed. He tried to negotiate with her but she deemed as trying to take advantage when she was the one trying to take advantage. And she made that driver lost income. She went too far. She is the one ungracious, not the driver.
Even if the driver does not ask for extra charges for the drive up 3 floors, the girl should pay the driver tips as a courtesy la.
On the other hand, it is such a no-no for me when driver start to randomly complain the company payment scheme to their passenger. 😑
Can't afford to be gracious? Why are we making excuses for people who are unkind? Everyone is having a hard time. A little kindness wouldn't hurt.
It's also weird because in Malaysia. sitting in front isn't virtue signalling but a sign of courtesy to the driver, whereas sitting at the back of an empty car ride points to entitlement (you are my personal driver) - not that it always means that, but just comparing the two.
Agree that it's just being courtesy. I don't see why it's being seen as a 'bad' thing...
One problem about the lady is that she could just have book the Grab Assist instead and pay more
Yeap but she might no have known that service
Not trying to be mean, but she is kinda foolish to expect people to be nice to her, when each person has his own will and they act accordingly. If she is observant enough, she will realised this happened because both party is lacking kindness because she is also unwilling to pay extra for the driver while expecting the driver to do this act of service for her.
@@o0ohwyo0o Or she could be, like any other human, look to exploit and take advantage of the loophole called " expecting graciousness". We will never know. But the fact that she mentioned and expected the driver to act gracious for her (just because other driver has done it for her out of good will even though it is not required for drivers to do so) does give the impression she is entitled and is expecting something that is not required by the other party.
29:12 Denise : “I have found one loophole that I recommended to many people”
Please do share 😂
To answer Denise on what to say to the Uncle complaining about earning too little, you vehemently agree with him and say that the company (i.e. Grab/Gojek) should pay him better.
Im one of those that usually sit in front because i get carsick but i always ask the driver first.. Had only 1 instance where i was denied because the driver had a lot of items in the front seat.
nowadays, true pride and honor are hard to come by
Well sometime I feel that people (not all) had forget that phrase "if you are happy, I'm happy too". Life is difficult, yes but I don't think we should make other people life even more difficult. Is not like it make you happier by doing so. Overall being kind and respectful, whether is from the driver or passenger. Peace guys👍
On the other hand, really no one use this 😂 anymore? Am I too old? LOL😂😂
In summary, if this is your private for personal use, then yes - would agree that passenger should ask if they want to change things. But if this is a grab hitch, grab, Gojek, the driver put up their services, so this is commerical right? Then no. well... The ride is not only a payment from getting to point A to B. It is also service..the driver is providing a service right? The passenger paid for the ride and service right? So, honestly! Who wants to pay for a nasty service? If the driver really can't deal with people playing with his car seat audio whatever... It's fine not to put up his ride service. He can still have his private car for personal use.
And when they talked about driver earns marginal, that is not shouldered by the passenger. It is the driving company they worked for. This is not the US and tipping is a culture to earn more. Actually, the fact is, US is trying to change their tipping culture already. Hopefully we are not regressing to be like them.
typical entitled comment sia. People put up their car as a service means they need to be prepared to get their whole car fondled? You try book a grabcar then tell the driver to get off and you drive instead. When you don't have basic respect for others, then maybe stay at home better.
It's not about service, it's about basic manners. The car is not yours, so you should not use it as thought you own it.
A classic example is Firefly Airline Malaysia. Their Customer Service hotline and Customer Care team is horrendous ! They practically ignore my emails and their CS Advisor cut off my line when I was talking to them after waiting 50 mins for someone to pick up the call. What choice do I have except to go on social media?????
Besides choosing sides, this ep was hella funny

Even more importantly, it depends on when the videoing begins. If it records the whole incident, then you might have a stronger case to garner support.
But many a times, the videoing starts after the triggers have occurred and we cannot simply treat the person who posts the video as the victim or someone who is telling the truth. How are we so certain that the supposedly 'victim' isn't the perpetrator and doesn't aggravate the situation before the videoing.
Such viral video often only tells one side of the story.
Some drivers are fishing for tips these days. If driving can't earn enough, why don't they find other jobs? Passengers also may be earning little, but under circumstances/inconvenient (eg. in clutches no choice need to take cab) Please think for passengers too. Those who drive their own cars won't understand. If drivers aren't happy just cancel ride lor...
In short, saying money hard to earn...doesn't excuse a person to be rude / selfish / entitled. On both sides.
On the other note, I have lots of respect for food delivery.
John's eyebrows are on fleek!
EH THANKS
I ever picked up a family of 4, the young boy sat on front, changed my android player to BT mode. When I asked what was he trying to do, he replied "oh i want to listen my music". My response simple: This is not your car boy, keep your hands to yourselves. The parents seemed not noticing as they busy talking behind. No points for guessing which ethnicity.

33:45 dan's pocket story dam funny
hahah sorry la, I'm with JP. where got people sit in front to be 'polite' to grab/taxi driver one. damn virtue signal sia.. and ironically, can't help but feel it shows how much the person looks down on the driver that they would feel the need to make such a big deal of the matter.
it's really simple.. being polite means being respecting your driver. don't need to go to the extent of sitting in front. pls. let's be real.
I really don’t like how everyone likes to take out their phone and film, then post on social media when something happens. I understand that you want the video as evidence but you don’t need to post it on social media. I was harassed by this uncle in the bus because he said my shorts was too short. I just ignored him and he eventually stopped
how short? can post video to demo?
What if the car is from a rental company? Like taxi?
Basically Stomp culture revived ?
but tiktok version.
Every one gangster till the mobile phones start recording.
I just found out about the emoji from Dan here. Lmao.
Dan and JP's double down is the moment for this episode.
Yeap JC is right, I heard of alot of " how I want to use the rebates / vouchers etc " stories but oh well you do you.
This feels like morals civic ed.
Huh? We all come from diff culture and diff understanding...if something is not clear, communicate nicely. There is no written rule about all these things, so we cant assume everybody understands the "basic courtesy". I dont think this case was a good example of "entitlement". The driver absolutely did not have to react that way!
I am sure there's more to it, we just didn't see it, cause recording is from passenger side only...and passenger record to make himself look good. 🙂
on the wheelchair incident - major huh??? what if it's raining? (and you are not crutches/ wheelchair bound etc..) will u also pay extra for the driver to drive a few meters forward to drop you off at a shelter, instead of the designated pick up point?
I don’t even dare to talk on my phone in grab I just sit quietly and stare at my phone
its the same when many of my friends' first reaction is to film whenever they injure themselves, or even bleed instead of treating it 5:35
10:09 HAND JOB? the jump is so drastic hahahahhahh
Bro is the rizzard of oz graduated from the rizziversity of rizzford
Bro is a rizzly bear
Bro is a first rizzponder
Bro was the grinch who stole rizzmazz
Bro is rizzton churchill
Yes i have nothing better to do with my time sue me
Aiyo, Comfort taxi uncles are the worst! Zig don’t know how to use and passengers to learn.
talk about d driver that said i love u to the passenger
I think the passenger is wrong. But the driver response a bit over kill lol
15:33 this story damn rabak eh….
i absolutely understand an about the officers actually working part because it's like malaysia officers are basically almost non existence. Came to singapore a while back to visit my bf and was scared that i would look sus too LMAO
No they are not entitled
rizz is short for charisma apparently...
On your last point of fighting and hashing it out without the involvement of authorities, aren't we just referring to Kurt Tay haha
😂😂
Why even bother “fighting” with the driver? Just give a bad rating after the ride is enough.
U shud hv got a phc driver as a guest on this podcast.😏
Theyre lot of them. So much pain in the ass
Both were clowns to me, as you (JP or JC?) have mention both escalated a small issue to become a big one. Adjusting aircon without asking is uncall for..you can't do that in a taxi or bus..lol.. they are providing a service too. IF too cold or not cold enough can always ask the driver to adjust. Sure the passenger was a knob for adjusting without asking, Uncle could have just say politely, if want to adjust ask and he will adjust..without going off at him..at the end of the day what happen?..passenger didn't get where he wants to go..and driver got a complaint on his record?..
10 ish years ago when i took taxi to go sec school, driver called me entitled and is angry that i think he's my chaffeur for seating at the back. so now i always seat infront :(

PAP is not just economically, socially and institutionally entrenched in Singapore, its values are also psychologically entrenched in the minds of the vast majority of Singaporeans.
On this point, Chee Soon Juan is right after all, “Our biggest struggle is not against the PAP. It is against what the PAP has done to our minds.”
If the central tenet of democracy is the empowering of its citizens to decide their future, then is it still democracy when citizens decide time and time again to relinquish their rights to the dictates of one ruling party?
