This is why I now walk off-airport at LAX before hailing a ride or just grab a cab - it's not worth dealing with the bullshit anymore. Also, I feel like your comment matches my experience that overall, the rider experiences with Lyft and Uber are steadily trending toward a level almost as bad as taxis used to be. Everyone was happy when it really was just a bunch of people driving in their spare time for extra cash close to their normal routes. Then a significant portion of drivers started driving full-time for basically minimum wage and the end result is... rideshare drivers are taxi drivers. Reckless driving, spamming the horn, poor communication skills, constantly gaming the system to try to get more money / avoid less-profitable fares, etc. I feel like the rating system doesn't really help here because most people don't want to give bad ratings and potentially destroy someone's primary source of income.
