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 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 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 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 gave my friend a ride to town so she wouldn't have to pay the $10 to park. While waiting to pick her up, I grabbed a bite to eat. Upon returning to my car, I found a $55 parking ticket on my windshield. FML

Today, my friend took me and a bunch of other guys out to a nice dinner. This was his way to say thank you for helping him move to a new apartment. He got the cheque, excused himself to go to the restroom and never came back to pay. FML

Today, after having a fight with my BFF, she invited me to come along to a party. I found out later that she'd only invited me so that when returning from the event, we could take a taxi and split the cost. FML

Observation and critical thinking, skills to have.

I can't help but picture that it's a black and white movie, and him sleazily grinning with his fedora hat tipped down, with a shadow across half his face, and he zooms off in his Model T down the city.

Nice to see people tipping at 100% value of the bill even in today's economy.

Don't worry OP. I bet you can spare those $10 he made off with.

Eh? If I had a tenner nicked off me I'd be well pissed off! That's nearly a week's worth of shopping for me! Not everyone has money to burn, mate.

I don't live in a city.. So a cab ride is more than 10.00 just to come to my house to pick me up.. It's more than $10 to go 3 miles.. So ehh.

I'm sure you'll think of a way to get him back. If not, try licking your hand, then slapping his face. People hate that.

I am very confused, I assume you were the last to get out of the taxi seeing as you were the one that handed him money right before he drove off. But if that was the case how did you miss him being paid by your friend? I'm saying YDI it on this one, you can't rely on other people to be honest, you need to be observant about these things.
