2．There are many people you are well advised to treat kindly：Your child's teacher，your husband or wife，your boss and so on．Until now，that best-behavior-required list has not included your Uber driver，or for that matter，taxi drivers．Old thinking：Hey，they're here to serve me．I don't have to make a special effort to be nice to them．
Dangerously wrong．
A recent New York Times story told the instructive tale of a Uber passenger，Hussein Kanji，who says he's really not sure how he made his driver angry．All he knows is that his driver-generated rating went way down and the wait for a Uber car became hours instead of minutes．
Beware，Uberians：If you're feeling angry when you slide into the back seat and you give your driver the silent treatment，your reputation may get damaged in the driver-generated ratings．If you're among the people one Uber driver described as"generally negative"，watch out．
Uber isn't the only front on this battlefield．The ability to rate someone's service is one of the successes of the Internet．It helps everyone weed out people with bad attitudes and worse habits．
These ratings should cut both ways．A while back，the auction site eBay made many of its sellers angry when it started preventing them from giving negative ratings to buyers．Until then，sellers and buyers had threatened each other with negative reviews．Too many negative reviews could get you thrown off．
Then eBay shifted the balance of power to buyers．Sellers can still write a bad comment，but the overall rating cannot be anything but positive．Thus eBay has become a place where all is for the best．Think positive!
We know that being nice to people all day can be exhausting．We've also seen people who shout at those who don't measure up to their expectations for service．
Uber is reportedly about to spread worldwide．It is a welcome competitor because it fits the needs of customers in a new way．We know Uber is a two-way street．But drivers who get too picky may end up with no passengers．
Everyone，behave!
