I don't know if Uber still does this, but at one point in the past they would drop you an email if you rated a driver 3 or lower to ask what happened.

"drop" you an email? what does that mean? do you mean "send"?
Why would you post this? Of course that is what they mean
I'm calling him out for his douchebag double-speak hipster talk. Is he too cool to say "send"? Vacuous style over substance.
I think the douchebag labeling might've backfired? People have been dropping one another emails for years and years. Maybe it's less common where you're from.
My English dictionary (Collins) has: to drop (vb-16 transitive) "to send or post".
you're amusingly vitriolic about this
No, he means they print out the email in and drop it on your head.
