I have this unforgetable encounter with a taxi drive, i was in such a hurry because i was late in picking up my friend at the airport, this taxi driver say he will go fast, along the way he keep on talking and talking i just sat there and listen, when i reached the airport my friend was already waiting for me so instead of getting a new cab i ask my friend to just hop on in, all of a sudden the driver keep on talking to us asking where was my friend from and he basically asked for any food brought by my friend to give it to him, what a thick face driver that was, we told him she didn't bring much all are already alotted to someone. but alne the way he keep on interupting me and my friend trying to have something from us and finally when we reach my place this very thick face taxi driver did not give me back the change and say since we didn't give him anything from my friend he will take the change instead and then ran off. i wasn't able to get the taxi plate number as i wanted to report him. Now i always make sure i have just enough money to pay the taxi drive incase i come across another one like him. So anyone of you have a unforgetable encounter you like to share?

Actually my encounter with a taxi driver is not a bad encounter but is unforgettable for me nonetheless. I was really sleepy on the way home because I spent an all nighter in the office so I decided to take a cab than my usual train ride home. As expected, I slept the entire way home. It was unforgettable because I was amazed by the driver's honesty. I left my bag in the cab and I did not really notice it because I was like sleepwalking at that time. lol. but instead of driving fast away like other cab drivers, He called my attention regarding my bag. I know there wasn't that much money on my bag but it still amazes me that there are cab drivers who are like that. :)

Mine was the driver keeps on asking personal questions, I find it weird because he was like doing some interview inside the cab. I don't know if he was just being friendly or something but he was bugging me when all I wanted is to reach my destination as soon as possible. LOL.

I live here in the Philippines so expect to have lots of abusive cab drivers! There was a time when I went to some place called Alabang from Pasay yet the cab driver asked me to pay for like $15 which is really really some hefty price in here. I just got no choice because I was really in hurry at that time
