A fellow aspie was telling me a story once about how he had to wait two hours in the rain at the local university for a cab to pick him up, and that after all that, the guy was an ass to him. I'm sure seeing how many of us are unable to drive for one reason or another, we have a few stories to tell about taxis so lets hear them.

My husband was a taxicab driver for a while. Sometimes his sweet customers did things like: crapped in the cab, passed out in the cab, tried to hit him, wouldn't pay, cussed him out. And he's a polite person.

On the other hand, I have ridden with some that were total jerks.

ewwwwww!! ! that is a perfect job to submit to the discovery show "dirty jobs" that is just disgusting using the bathroom in a cab. eww gross!

ok now my story, some just have their minds in the wrong place, one time me and my mom were exiting a cab in front of house and cabbie was looking at our backsides and grinning! (pervert)
we never used that cab again fearing the next ride he will flirt or want more then a tip.

heres another story, me and my mom were in nashville during summer 6 years ago and we used a cab (american cab co.) from airport to grandmas house in ashland city. each time he spoke to me or my mom he would turn completly around looking at us instead of road!

totally unsafe.

Most of the time, when that happens, you are with a cab driver who doesn't speak English.
