Taxis and Transportation: Baby come back

Baby come back

By Noname - 16/03/2009 00:49 - United States

Today, I rode in the cab on the way back to my dorm from the airport. The taxi driver was on the phone and not really paying attention. I paid him and got out of the cab, but he drove away before I could get my luggage out of the trunk. FML

Today, I took a taxi to my hotel. I specifically said that my destination was the Hilton resort. He took me to a bed and breakfast across town. When I finally got to my hotel, I cursed him out and didn't give him a tip. I then realized I'd left my phone in the taxi after he left. FML

Today, I took a taxi ride with my friends. As we were getting out, I paid the taxi driver. With a grin, he drove away fast. It turns out my friend had already paid. FML

Today, I took a cab ride home from a bar. After a few minutes of horrible driving, I felt sick. The cab driver got so mad she locked me in the car and started driving me to the cops unless I payed her extra. Basically, I paid $120 for a five-minute cab ride. FML

Today, I called a taxi after a night of partying. When it arrived, I realised I had no cash, so I told the driver I'd quickly grab some from an ATM. He made me leave my phone with him as collateral in case I was pulling a prank. He drove off the moment I turned my back. FML

Today, I had to take a taxi to work, because I was pressed for time, and didn't have a ride there. When I got to work, I paid the cab driver, and realized I had spent more money on the cab than I was going to make at work. FML

Today, I went out drinking with my friends. Being safe as we were a little intoxicated, we took a taxi back. The cab driver was also drunk. FML

Today, I halted a cab. It was 12 degrees and snowing outside. When I went to get in, a man shoved me away and I slipped on ice into dirty snow slush, and he stole my cab. As it drove off, the man flipped me off. FML

Today, my taxi driver kept falling asleep and swerving off the road, so I asked him if he was okay. He stopped and burst out sobbing about the long hours he had to do after his divorce, and his wife taking all he had. Long story short, I ended up driving him home and getting another taxi from his place. FML

Today, a stranger pulled me out of the path of a speeding taxicab. He then took one look at my face, said, "I should've left you there", and walked away. FML

# 10 - it's not exactly his job to remember that his passengers get their lugage, but they shouldn't be on the phone ON THE JOB! Are you allowed to take personal calls at your job? NO! Why the f*ck are cabbies any different? Get his a** fired

Is it legal to talk on the phone whilst driving? I'd phone the cab company and complain.

Thats why I always pay when I'm ready to walk away: after I have luggage. At least you were at your dorm and you had a lot of stuff already there as opposed to arriving to a Spring Break location where you would be unlikely to know the local cab locations/ cheaper clothes locations.

to everyone saying pay after you get your things-- if you just open the door, sometimes they cabbie will think you're trying to not pay them, esp. if they don't remember about your luggage. you /should/ pay after you get your things, but i've seen some pretty bad confrontations with some rude cabbies... hey, at least you're home and don't need to take another cab for awhile?

I'm actually annoyed now. I've noticed several posts by 'Noname' every few days. I'm starting to believe that these aren't true. FML loses it's taste when people post fake posts. In some posts, you are talking about your 'girlfriend', in others you are talking about your 'boyfriend'. In some you state you even have a husband or wife! I am honestly confused. If you really are just faking, please stop. Nothing pisses me off more that a fake. PS: Sorry if I'm just overreacting, but really... D:
