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 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 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 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 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 was taking a taxi home after drinking too much. I started to feel sick and, not wanting to be charged the cab cleaning fee, threw up into my handbag instead. When we got to my place I then had to fish through my bag for my wallet to pay the driver. FML

Scammers gonna scam

Today, it's my first day as an expat. Hoping to arrive early for work, I hailed a cab. The driver took it upon himself to take the scenic route and play tour guide, no matter how much I refused. Not only was I late, he turned violent when I refused to pay his $100 fare plus a "talent fee." FML

Useful friends

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

Today, a passenger in my taxi left without paying. They left their phone, so I posted a message about it from their social media, exposing them. Turns out they'd stolen the phone from someone else. I ended up getting arrested. FML

And this is why I've conditioned myself to do a 3 pocket check anytime I leave somewhere [2 side pockets and 1 back pocket] to always ensure I never leave my keys, cellphone or wallet anywhere I go.

I can understand not giving the guy a tip, but was it really necessary to curse him out? Like you've never messed up anything in your life? If it happened to me, I'd be pissed, but that's life, sh*t happens. No need to treat the driver like crap. Do you yell and curse at waiters for messing up your order, too? I hope he found your phone and tossed it out a window. :)

I'm willing to be the reason the driver got cursed out was because he was adamant about not making a mistake [that OP said the wrong thing] and that he would have to pay the cab fair to the first place and the new hotel - Just a guess. . .If he just made a mistake, offered to rectify it and you cursed him out than you're just an asshole.

Next time know that address of your hotel and study the town on the internet before going. Some cities may have more than one airport holiday inn for example.
