Business Insider asked dozens of drivers about their biggest pet peeves. Here's what they had to say.

Another driver, Matt from Wisconsin, said he doesn't mind going through drive-thru windows for passengers if they ask, but on one condition:"I tell them, we can absolutely go to Taco Bell or KFC of whatever, but you have to wait to open it until I drop you off."Food smells are a matter of personal preference in most cases, but the odor of marijuana — or even the perception of — can cause even bigger headaches for a driver.
"We DO have a GPS," Jenny said."Some people will try to tell you where to go because they don't like the GPS route, and then will get mad and leave fewer stars when I follow it."In most markets, Uber drivers are using their own personal vehicle to shuttle customers to their destinations. Michael, who drives in Atlanta, said he felt a need to provide customer service for passengers, since most have little to no interaction with the company outside of the app.
