&nbsp;If you&rsquo;re one to browse social media a lot, you would probably agree that we see a lot of stories regarding e-hailing drivers or even riders online. Some of them talk about how the job is their only source of income and some unfortunately fall under the limelight of bad news.
Recently we saw Grab suspending a rider for standing up to two Singaporean men who filled up RON95 into their Go Kart while at a petrol station in Johor and that certainly didn&rsquo;t give a good image towards the e-hailing company.

Demanding Customer Assaults Female Grab Driver
Typically, the Grab ride is meant to take you from point A to point B and normally won&rsquo;t involve any stops unless it was recorded in the app. Plus, the point of having a woman driver for Grab is to allow women who have the need to use e-hailing apps to feel safe whenever they are taking it alone.
Unfortunately, a woman was caught on film as she assaulted her female Grab driver who refused to stop by a petrol station for her daughter to purchase some stuff halfway into the trip. The incident was posted on Facebook group <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/907903760588857/permalink/1032357611476804/">我是美里人</a>.

Facebook user Tyg Jsten wrote that the woman in the video called for a Grab ride as she and her daughter wanted to make their way home. Halfway into the trip, the woman requested the Grab Driver if she could stop at a petrol station and allow her daughter to purchase some items.
Due to the terms and conditions set by the company, the driver had adhered to the policy and kindly declined the request and proceeded to fetch them to their home which further enraged the woman.
Upon arriving at their destination, things didn&rsquo;t go so smoothly for the driver as the woman questioned the driver about why did she not stop by the nearby petrol station. She then proceeded to scream at the top of her lungs saying she had not followed the route given to her.
&ldquo;I told you to take that route but why didn&rsquo;t you do so? I&rsquo;m the customer and you&rsquo;re the driver!&rdquo;
Refused To Pay Despite Asking

As the woman was already displeased, the driver requested her to pay the RM10 trip but she still refused to do so unless taken to the petrol station. Fed up with the situation, the Grab driver then told the passenger to not pay her and to get down from her vehicle.
In another clip posted, the driver was recording the woman and she had charged towards the vehicle before attempting to smack the phone out of the driver&rsquo;s hands. Though the camera cut away from the scene, a loud slam was heard assuming that the woman had either hit the side of the Grab driver's door or the roof.

Finally, the post ended with a video of an unknown man who tried to intervene in the situation and had sided the driver with the woman arguing that the petrol station was still along the route back home.

Netizens Slam The Passenger&rsquo;s Rude Behaviour 
At the time of writing, the post has gained over 730 Reactions, 767 comments and over 1.6K shares on Facebook. Many netizens took to the comments section and said that the behaviour of the passenger was truly unacceptable and that action should be taken against her. 
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:
&ldquo;Before calling for a ride, Grab has already calculated the route and fare. How could there be such an overbearing and crazy woman in Miri? Please ask this driver to report to the police and lodge a complaint against Grab to have this crazy woman's account cancelled.&rdquo;

&ldquo;Is ten ringgit not a significant amount to you? There are such unreasonable people. I'm offering you ten ringgit, would you take me on your way? Alternatively, I can buy you a ten-ringgit fried noodles and add large prawns for you. Aunty, since you know there's a Petronas station near your house, why not take a walk and buy it yourself? There's no need to make things difficult for others, just for the sake of earning ten ringgit from you. If something happens to the car, will you compensate for the damages?&rdquo;

&ldquo;One type of rice can feed a hundred people, but this kind of foul-mouthed woman truly brings shame to our Chinese community. 😡&rdquo;

&ldquo;Calling Grab is meant for transporting passengers from one place to another, not for the purpose of taking you to another place to buy things along the way. Is this your first time using Grab? It's truly embarrassing for girls.&rdquo;
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/83ba6c0699b27bb708cc67f8e2fd06195da5bb79006d8ae3bcb2956f52edbc00" />
&ldquo;It's because of women like this that many men would rather choose to remain single for their entire lives!&rdquo;

As of now, Grab has yet to respond to the incident and a precaution to those who frequently commute by e-hailing, to be careful of suspicious drivers and passengers like this.
