Mark Pincus, who not too long ago was deposed from his perch as CEO of Zynga, has a bone to pick with the people driving him around: Why aren't they silent?

While sitting around and perhaps wondering why he bet the future of his company on Farmville, Pincus tweeted the following:

Will we get tired of uber and lyfting? Bad driving. Music while youre making calls. Convo's you would pay to avoid.

Sympathizers soon chimed in:

@markpinc why not just use your chauffeur?

@markpinc @uber & @lyft need a setting to say "Talk to me" or "Just drive". Drivers would know how you like to roll.

@damonpace @markpinc @Uber @lyft not a bad idea...driverless cars soon...

Pincus insisted that service economy obedience is his right:

@Sr_Lazarus its a paid ride. A service not a favor. Wish i could set profile preferences drivers would tune to else back to my car.

In this context—the context of awful people with money not wishing to interact with the underclass in any way or form—is it any surprise things like Alfred win prizes?
