Almost Got Kidnapped by a Taxi... Can/Should I pursue legal action?

So... You spent 220 unnecessary dollars, and had a huge headache to deal with because you weren't paying attention? I hope you learned the real lesson here.
Most definitely. :lol:

Next time I'll just rent car service for the night.


Dude hates on everyone that pulls his card.

Son wants us to just believe he's rich. Anytime we ask for proof, well, just look at this thread. :lol:

Usually when the destination is out of the taxi drivers range you would agree on a price beforehand as the fare is not enough to cover the inconvenience of going to this new location. You could also pay the fair going there and back to his primary location if cheaper.

But if this a fairly common area he goes to, you should of asked why the meter wasn't running if you didnt see it working during the drive.
 
Almost happened to me once.

Got into a cab bent and asked the driver to go easy on the breaks so I didn't throw up in his car.

He didn't. Told him to let me out. He locks the door, stops the car and tells me to pay.

Tell him I'm not paying him for making me feel sicker when I told him to chill from jump.

We start arguing. He tells me he's not letting me out of the cab. Starts driving.

Drives past my house uptown. I'm kicking the divider between me and the driver.

I look to my left, lay on my back and 1......2......put my foot through the back seat window.

I'm trying to crawl out of the window. Dude isn't stopping and is actually driving through red lights now so I can't jump out.

Pulls me up to a police station. I jump out the window and start walking down the block. Cops start calling me back. I ignore.

They chase me down, take me into the station. Basically tell me I can pay for the window or go through the whole process.

I say **** it. They drive me to an ATM by my house to take out cash, I hand it to them, they hand it to the cab driver. And I walk home.

**** that cab driver.

Yes, I took the time to create that very detailed story to impress Niketalk.

The "1...2" was actually how many times I had to kick the window for it it shatter.

And for clarification, when I say back seat window, I mean the rear window on the driver's side.

Whether you believe it or not doesn't change the fact that it happened.

Shouldn't you be able to see what the fare as you're on your way to the destination?

I don't know how y'all do it in poor *** Minneapolis but in NYC you could see the price as it continues to climb.

Why didn't you question it?

I say you leave it alone, b.
You wasted all that extra time getting cops involved all so you could save $10.

Now you want to pursue more legal action?


this


like breh, you were haggling for 10 dollar bills, and now you want to drag this guy into deep waters? i don't know if your wallet can handle that, just let it go, and use it as a lesson






but why didnt you just pay the man, if it's 40 going, and he charged you 40, so 40 to go back, logically he'll charge you another 40 (80 total), why would you just not pay him, if he told you in the first place it'll be 40?? I don't get it, if he told you it would be 40 dollars, then why would you need to see the meter, you knew the price



also lol'd@this is why we don't pick you up, you know he won't back to his taxi buddies and spoke to them about you/black people :lol:

My refusal to pay had nothing to do with the amount and everything to do with the justification. If his fare box would have said $100, I would have paid $100 as long as I knew where that number came from. My wallet is fine, but thanks for your concern. :smile:

I asked for an estimation for the price. He said $40, and I know cabbies always try to overcharge, which is why I asked for the fare calculator. I'm not hurting for $40, as much as you'd like to make your conclusion a reality. I'd refuse a fare of $1 if I felt like I was being taken advantage of. The principle of the matter is beyond material measure.

And I'm sure he did...but judging from what was said, I'm sure he would have either been complaining about what actually happened, or bragging about how he got over. I'd prefer the former rather than the latter.
