Please don't harass your Uber driver. Trust me, they've got enough drunken b.s. to deal with when people are puking in their backseat on a Saturday night, and also, they might pepper spray you.  Or, someone might will take a video of the whole incident and get you fired. 

That's what happened with Anjali Ramkissoon, a doctor in Miami who was officially fired this week from her job with Jackson Health System, three months after a video of her presumably drunken freak out on an Uber driver, CBS Miamireported. The video shows her kneeing the man in the crotch before getting back inside his car where she proceeds throw his stuff out the windows, including his iPhone. She also repeatedly screams at the driver to get in the car, or, more specifically, "Get the fuck in the car you piece of disgusting fucking shit."

The cops apparently showed up after the video ended, but the driver (who had the patience of a saint) ultimately decided not to press charges on Ramkissoon. She reportedly apologized and gave the driver a little bit of money. 

Shortly after the video went viral, Ramkissoon appeared in an interview on Good Morning America where she apologized again and explained that her father had been hospitalized that day, and she'd just broken up with her long-term boyfriend.

"I was extremely stressed out that day. It was probably one of the worst days of my life and I was caught at my lowest moment. Nothing like this has ever happened. I made a huge mistake, the biggest mistake of my life, and that person is not me."

The apology wasn't enough to save her job, though. At least she didn't try to sue the guy who recorded the incident like the Taco Bell exec who got caught assaulting a different Uber driver.
