Anys first described the incident in a series of tweets on March 15, live-posting the hairy situation from her ride. In her tweets, the streamer claimed that her driver wouldn\u2019t stop asking for her phone number, and even \u201crefused to take no for an answer\u201d \u2014 all while \u201czooming through the highway and 20 mins from [her] destination.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve never had someone ask for my number,\u201d she said of the incident. \u201cI say no thanks, and they\u2026 literally don\u2019t stop asking or pressuring me\u2026. I \u2014 I?? I\u2019m paying for your service on top of that, sir.\u201d i\u2019ve never had someone ask for my number, i say no thanks, and they.. literally don\u2019t stop asking or pressuring me\u2026. i-i?? i\u2019m paying for your service on top of that sir \ud83e\udd72 \u2014 imane \ud83d\udc9c (@imane) March 16, 2021 Pokimane also claimed that the driver said she could remove her mask while in the car with him \u2014 a sure sign that pointed to what she called a \u201cwack trip.\u201d She went live sometime later to describe the drive in more detail, claiming that it was the most \u201cuncomfortable\u201d encounter she\u2019s had. \u201cI have never been in a situation that uncomfortable,\u201d Pokimane said. \u201cLike, will an Uber driver hit on you, or kind of push the boundary a bit? Sure, maybe sometimes. But for them to have the gall \u2014 the absolute audacity \u2014 to ask for your number as you\u2019re paying them for your service, and when you say no, keep pushing?\u201d \u201cI didn\u2019t know what to do, because I had just never been in that situation. In particular, because their driving \u2014 we\u2019re literally zooming through the highway right now, and you\u2019re pressuring me to give you my number. There\u2019s just something a little bit frightening about that.\u201d Luckily, the streamer returned home safely \u2014 although she did admit to giving him a one-star rating. However, did not report him, as some fans had called for, stating that she was afraid he would know it was her while also citing concerns that he already knows where she lives. Thus far, fans have shown ample support for Pokimane, with many sharing their own concerning interactions with Uber and Lyft drivers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
