Its a pretty regular occurance to see plenty of cars orbiting on your map, then the one that snags your request is 5 miles away going the wrong way on the highway with another fare, and you sit on your hands. Drivers tap rides without even looking at them just to get it first and have a fare ready, regardless if it makes sense timing wise. I’ve seen it from the passenger seat.

Yeah, something is wrong with me for believing the app. Even after I request the ride, the time estimate actually goes up instead of down and clearly, that's my fault too. I bet when an uber crashes, that will somehow be my fault too by your incredibly stupid logic.
