Crazy Cab Drivers:

We've had some nice ones, but recently I have had some rather different experiences.

1)So the other night my co-worker and I shared a cab home from our staff dinner.
I told him my address and he kept saying the wrong street name, so I kept restating it. Finally, I am spelling my street name past the seat and he says "don't shout at me-if you don't like my driving find a different cab" We were just like this guy is ridiculous. And then finally when we got to my street and I had to still tell him to turn there he was like "oh-Loomis-you said Looment" We didn't even know what to say. We just said no, that's not what we said but whatever.

2)When I got in from California I had to take a cab home but had to pay for it with Credit Card for work. Seriously the guy complained the whole way he was taking me home,like how they get screwed with credit cards..how they legally have to take the ride at the airport or he wouldn't take them..how his machine doesn't always work..on and on and on. I couldn't wait to get out of there. Even if he feels like that you shouldn't tell your customer that over and over again. It made me feel really uncomfortable.

3)Thinking about these reminds me of one time when us girls where taking a ride somewhere and the cabbie had Pearl Jam on the radio. We started singing along being silly. He immediately turned the station..

    One time right after 9/11 we had a middle-eastern cab driver scream at us for talking to loud and having to much laughter and stuff. the guy was really rude and you could just tell he hated us for just being white men. after he literally screamed at us to shut up, one of my buddies screamed back "or else what, you'll drive us into the i.d.s. tower? (which is the biggest skyscraper in minneapolis). then the cabby locked up the brakes in the fast lane on the freeway, and kicked us out. watch out for those crazy cabbies dude!

    I've yelled at many-a-cab-driver for not knowing how to get to my apartment with all the one-ways! I've definitely also had a cabbie give me his phone number. Wow.
