Throwaway account because I'm mortified. I (F) took an Uber home with two friends (M & F) after bar hopping Saturday night. F guest passes out as soon as ride begins. M guest gets a bit handsy with me and I knock his hands away several times and tell him to cut it out. He still tries to put moves on me - putting my hand on his crotch and laughing. He is very drunk, but in no way a true threat.
At the end of the ride, we all get out at F's house and the Uber driver calls me over to her window. She tells me that she has a camera in the car and recorded the trip and wants to know if "that man" is my husband. Confused, since I'm not married, I tell her no, he's my friend. And she starts saying "he was touching you!" I tried to explain that I appreciate her concern, but he's just drunk and harmless. There may have been a language barrier because she still seemed upset.
Today, I get a call from Uber saying they need to know what happened during the ride because the driver was uncomfortable and thinks the guy was masturbating in the car. I try to explain that he was a bit drunk and handsy, but that he wouldn't do that. I tell the representative from Uber that I'm terribly sorry if she felt uncomfortable. I'm told that my account will be suspended until everything is reviewed.
I completely understand her being upset if she thinks that's what was going on... But I really doubt he was doing anything graphic. I can't even imagine how the situation must have looked on camera. I'm upset about being recorded and though I understand why the driver has the camera, I don't recall being notified of being recorded.
So my real question is - what if it does appear on camera that he was actinv inappropriately? Other than my account suspension, is there a chance of some other action being taken against me by Uber or the driver because of the perceived actions of my guest?
