I was out for dinner with Jon tonight and just grabbed some pasta and then went for a drink. Everything was fine and we had a laugh - I left him and headed home in a taxi and this is what pisses me off.
Maybe I'm paranoid but I'm convinced that taxi drivers in Glasgow City fuck me over on purpose. Now I know it's the credit crunch blah blah but why do they have to slow down and hesitate when the taxi nears traffic lights. I think it's because the meter will run for a bit longer and help the fare increase. Now I refuse to entertain this so tonight I felt the rage build I knew I had to do or say something. I knew he was pushing slowly so that I would round the fare up and give him a tip. Instead I waited til I arrived and saw the fare and then handed him a note and do you know he hesitated handing me back the coins.
I stopped this by telling him it was a £20 note and then he gave up a few measly coins. I'm no tight wad - well sometimes I am - but this is ridiculous! Bloody Taxis!

Live 4 miles outside the City and they add on a boundary charge of about £3!!!!
Only got it waived once and that was because I listened to the drivers problems....not for any other services!!
