‘Excuse Me! Excuse Me, Please!’: Ride Share Passenger Goes Viral for Taking Over the Car of an Uber Driver Going the Wrong Way In Hilarious Clip

A woman who goes by Deeball on social media has a message for anyone who doesn’t like the way their Uber or Lyft driver is driving: Take over the wheel.

The Indiana-based mom soared to internet fame after posting a hilarious video to TikTok. When her ride-share driver allegedly put the pedal to the metal, or as Deeball put it, had been “swerving, going the wrong way,” she took matters into her own hands and commandeered his car.

In the December 8 clip, the shocked man is seen in the passenger seat, with his seatbelt tightly fastened, saying, “Excuse me! Excuse me, please!” As Deeball cruises through traffic, she’s giving the man — and the world — “Yo, I cannot make this sh*t up,” she said into the camera, urging Lyft and Uber to “stop giving these Africans and Haitians jobs when they don’t know how to drive,” a sentence that drew some backlash among viewers in the comments section.

The ride-share worker tried to interject, saying, “Excuse me,” but Deeball was on a mission and quickly shut him down with a firm, “No.” The unidentified man could not get a word in edgewise as she vented her frustration into the camera: “I’m driving this car because you don’t know how to drive,” she told him. “Look, I’m driving an Uber car! Like what the f*ck is wrong with you?”

Her post has received 236,000 likes and more than 900,000 views. And there is one burning question on everyone’s minds: “How you get him out the driver’s seat?” Deeball never did reveal her secret, so commenters had plenty of fun speculating.

One floated the idea that she “Probably just told his ass to move. Listen to her, she the one in charge, hello!” Another chimed in, “You know, people listen to B.W. She said MOVE and he DID,” followed by, “Facts, please tell me. I need to take notes.”

The top comment, with 18,000 likes, teased, “He thought he found his wife,” but others joked that he “got scared and got out of the way.”

Another wrote: “The fact that the Uber driver got his seat belt on 😭😂😂😂 you fed up 😅”

So many people couldn’t believe her audacity — saying “never seen nothing like this before” and “ain’t no damn way” — that Deeball even hopped into the comments to confirm it was real: “yeah, this is not a skit.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
