I left work to head to Kris’ to change and as I was standing on a corner waiting to cross, I saw a cab speeding towards me…. and realized I was standing directly next to a GIANT puddle. I stepped back but the cab SWERVED into the puddle intentionally, drenching me in lovely New York gutter water. A guy who was crossing the street towards me said, “Wow that cab driver was a douchebag....
4 travelers missed doomed Air France Flight 447

PARIS – A reservation mix-up, an overbooking and a Brazilian cabbie’s passion for soccer are all that saved some would-be passengers on Air France flight 447 from the fate of 228 others who lost their lives in the mid-Atlantic.
For some it was a simple matter of arriving at Rio’s airport late; for Andrej Aplinc, it was because he got there early

Especially me. I really don’t care what the fuck you think about eating meat, sand, rocks, human, the great set of drinking glasses you found at some store, the white dog shit on the ground at the park, WHATEVER ELSE.

He not only breached the NYC Taxicab Riders Bill of Rights by denying her requested route from A→B, but slow-drove even on open roads, concluding the side-street amble with some shady credit-card antics quadruple-charging the $50 metered fare.
I can understand the profit-motive of the old “swipe it again”...

Stupid Outdated Taxicab Laws
Outside a Midtown hotel, an officer stopped a taxi driver and asked to see his map.

An officer was watching the “moving lane” in the taxi assembly area at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. He noted that an empty, locked taxi was blocking the lane. “After three to five minutes, the driver … returned to his car, saying he had been eating.” The 44-year-old taxi driver was charged with misusing the taxi stand. ~via creativeloafing

She said she woke up around 5:30 a.m., and read an email from her bank about unusual activities on her ATM card. She said she...
