Horrible Cab Driver - Beware!!! SHC3795J (Comfort)

This is a post I must blog. Because, I have never... NEVER met such a horrible cab driver before.

First, he tried to pull a fast one on me. Before I boarded the cab, he already turned on the hired button. And when questioned (I thought he pressed the wrong button), he got defensive and shouted at me. He had a really lousy excuse. He said that he had a call job, which if he didn't accept, he would be punished. Can you believe??? So, he had to turn on the hired button. He even told me to check with other cabbies. So, I said I would. I would check with Comfort Delgro.

By then, I was already stupidly on his cab. I was almost going to do a Charlie Angel's jump off the taxi because we were having a heated argument and I did not feel safe. He restarted the hired button and in the end, I continued the ride. Now that I am writing, I feel quite silly. I could have endangered myself.

Anyway, from then, he took me on a wrong route which I pointed out and almost got me out on a wrong exit from the express way. I think he did it deliberately. After that, he even pretended to not know the directions. Upon questioning, I found out he knew exactly where the place I wanted to go was.

When we reached Grace's place, I refused to pay him the full amount. He tried to give me very little discounts, but I refused. And I demanded for a receipt. I think he realised what I was going to do. With the receipt details, I could lodge a complaint against him. So, he refused to give me his receipt. And even pretended to press the print button several times. I told him I had a lot of time to wait for the receipt.

Susan was standing outside to watch over so he couldn't pull any more tricks. Finally, the receipt was printed and he wrote the discounted amount on the receipt.

It was a really pissed-me-off cab ride. My goodness.

After talking to Baby at home, he said I should have just opened the door of the moving cab. Because he would stop.

1. If he didn't, I would have jumped and injured myself. This would not be beneficial for his license.
2. If he continued to move, his taxi would get into an accident - his door would crash. And cabbies are afraid of getting into accidents as this would cause his license to be revoked.

So, yes... now that I thought back, I should have. At that time, all I thought about was, I would not really jumped because I didn't want to injure myself. I hadn't thought that he would stop for me eventually.

So, now you girls (especially) know. Some cabbies are really crazy.

And yes... I  am going to lodge a complaint.
