I had a similar experience ten years ago. the fair came to 25 bucks, I gave the guy 15. We argued, he left only to return twenty minutes later with the cops. I still refused to pay, three hours later, in a small cell, I finnaly gave in and payed the bloody money. grumble grumble grumble.samantha wrote:i got one who didn't know where my destination was. he dumped the street directory back to us and asked me and my friend to find it and tell him where the street was... finally after going around in circles... he dropped us off and told ask to walk around as it should be "somewhere around here"... and guess wat? we had to pay for his "service"... $14

The stock phrase was, "Get out. I not take you."Plavt wrote: Some of them will even turn down a journey if it takes them to a part of London where they are unlikely to get a passenger on the return leg. Plavt.
