Okay, so last friday; had an amazing night, I was SOOOOOO drunk. But it was crazy fun. I flirted all night with this gorg-eous guy!! Anyway, when I had to go home at maybe 6 am I decided to take a cab. NOW. What I forgot was that I /just/ blocked my credit card because I lost it in the club. I was in this cab, silly drunk (and I always take a cab, because public transportation in my home-town is stupid. Can't go home after 3am), and this guy was outside, just walked me to the cab and stuff. So I tell the cab driver I just lost my credit card. And he's like, aw what to do? And I say, well I don't know? Can I just transfer the money to you tomorrow? Or maybe I can wake up my parents. And he doesn't say anything, so I'm like, well CAN YOU JUST DRIVE? - Keep in my I was DRUNK, and I just didn't wanna embarrass myself in front of this guy outside the cab So he drives, and I try to call my dad. Doesn't pick up. Hm. Well, I don't have keys to the house (yeah, I tend to lose everything), so I ask him if he can wait until tomorrow, then I'll transfer the money if he gives me some kind of bank account? He then says it's impossible. I ask him "well, what do you want me to do? It'll take at least a week before I have a credit card" I'm totally calm up to this. He freaks out like some wacko. He has my drivers license because I gave it to him as "safety". He steps out of the car, starts acting nuts. I tell him I don't wanna wake up my parents this late, but I try calling my dad because up to this I'm kinda scared of the guy. Doesn't pick up. He gets in the car again, and I try to explain the situation to him. He KEEPS interrupting me, while I say, "Will you PLEASE let me explain???" and seriously, he interrupts me like 10 times with "WHAT THE FUCK GIRL?? WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DOO??" and seriously. the bill was like 35 dollars, how serious can it be? Anyway. When he keeps interrupting me, I get frustrated and I yell: WILL YOU PLEASE LET ME FINISH FOR FUCKS SAKE?? or something like that. He then immediately shuts up, but here is the crazy part: HE LOCKS THE FUCKING DOORS, THEN HE DRIVES OFF. I'm like, wtf are you doing? - and I am really scared. I just yelled at this wacko. He then tells me he will drive me to the police station. I say whatever, at least I'm safe there. I will just tell them what I told you. He then says: WE RECORD EVERYTHING IN HERE!! And I then say, fine, then people will know where I am coming from! I don't wanna discuss any further with him, I just wanna get out. LUCKILY, my dad calls me. I'm at the verge of tears here, because I'm drunk and a bit scared. I tell my dad he's driving me to the police, and my dad says wtf, tell him to drive you home NOW. And I tell the dude to drive me home. It's my dad. He drives me home. My dad pays. Note: the bill ended up at 80 dollars. And he made more money out of me. Stupid cab drivers. Always sketchy. I really don't wanna take a cab next weekend, but I'll def take someone with me o.o
Ahhh, Freja. You always seem to be having adventures! I'm glad you got it sorted out. I'm not blaming him for wanting to get paid, but he certainly could have handled the situation better.
Haha yeah, I know right. And I don't blame him either, but it's not like I was trying to run away from it or anything. I could've done that, then I wouldn't let him drop me off at my HOUSE. That's why it was so stupid. And my parents totally blamed me. And yes, I know, I was stupid. But seriously, I couldn't have walked home in high heels, it was like 10kms? I've done that before, but then I need extra shoes with me, and it was cold so =p but my parents said all that matters was that I was home safe and sound. I guess that's right. Charlie, next time I'll be taking someone with me for sure! Because this isn't the first time me and some friends have had an argue with a cab driver. (And normally when we're drunk ,we love everybody. So we're not these stupid drunk hoes)
I think you took what was the 'safer' option. 10km walk by yourself at that time doesn't sound safe at all.
Nope, and since I've been assaulted one time I did it, I'm not that happy to do it. Good thing my parents agreed =p
He kind of got himself into that situation by just driving off with you after you already told him you didn't have a card to pay him with lol. That was his first mistake. Glad you made it out ok though!
