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

Hard knock life

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

I hope you got the license plate number sao that you can/could get your stuff back... and you should definitely report the driver, if you haven't already. I almost agree with #6, that using your phone while driving is like talking to someone in the car, except that a) you have to hold the phone somehow, which makes it harder to drive however you do it and b) cab drivers should be paying attention to their passengers, not their friends on the phone.

Always, get your stuff out, THEN pay. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER give them the money before you have your stuff.

Hey, this is like the 5th post by noname! It's gotta be fake! Haha, he must be a newbie, considering every other noname story has someone complaining about it. Just fyi, I just wanted to point out to the admins that they should change the name to "anonymous". That way less people clutter up the threads.

1) If a taxi driver was on the phone, I probably wouldn't get in. 2) Pay after you get your luggage. 3) I'd call the cab company to complain and try to get the luggage back.

This isn't a FML at all; it's more of a minor inconvenience. Just call the cab company and let them know and they'll keep it for you until you have time to pick it up.
