An Uber driver ended up with more backlash than he expected after his TikTok video appeared to show a life hack that saves people the trouble of paying for parking at sporting events.
Although life hacks are supposed to make people's lives a little easier in a clever way, we'll often find that people can rarely agree on whether they actually accomplish this. And if you share a hack with the world, the typical negative responses you'll get will either suggest that the hack doesn't work or that it's otherwise impractical.
But sometimes, it doesn't matter whether a hack works or not because critics will consider it unethical. Sometimes this kind of controversy can come from differences in parenting values and in other cases, it's because the hack gives you a shortcut to get something that others feel you don't deserve.
And while one Uber driver is now saying that people misunderstood his TikTok video about a particularly interesting case, the responses he received tended to fall in that second category.
