Oh yes!!! About three years ago, my kids & I were moving/transfering, to another apartment, from the one we were living in... And our apartment wasn't ready for what seemed like two months, meanwhile we were living out of boxes, and growing very tired of having to walk around them for what seemed like an "Eternity", at that time.... So, one night I packed an over night bag, for myself & my daughter, (my son was staying the night at a friends), and I told her lets get a "Cab" and get out of this apt., to stay in a Motel, for the night.... We're in he cab, (I had to sit in the front because, our overnight things & my daughter, were in the back seat).....I just wanted a little space... I told the driver our situation, and proceded to ask him, where the "Cheapest" motels were.... We weren't even two blocks, away from home, when the guy, goes and puts his hand on my thigh!!! In dis-belief, I told this young man, "If you dont get your hand off my leg, I'm going to call the police, when we get to the motel !!!" He took his, sweet time doing it, so I told him never mind the motel, just take us back home!! For fear, he would do something, once we got to our room and with my young daughter being with me, I really didn't want to jeopardize her in any way.... Once, home, he still wanted his "Fair" I said after what you did, "Screw-You" he started to wining, and said his Boss, this, & if I didn't know his Boss, I wouldn't have thrown the money in the window, of his cab... I then went home & called the cops on him, and his boss the next morning, but got his "Supervisor" instead, and she acted like I was lieing... Really pissed me off... And, the cop said, that if he "Minded me" he couldn't press charges..... The cab service is also my Provided-Drivers, for doctor's appts, and the Supervisor, started to treating me, differently after that, not in a good way!! And the rest is an even longer story, I ended-up moving out of town, and told my last ride, to tell the owner & her Supervisor, I wasn't planning to "Sew" the company, that they didn't have to treat me, like I was the guilty-one, with this whole thing!!! So, yes I have had a Bad experience, with a taxi-service!!! One I'll never forget....... Just because, my daughter had to experience it too...

Two spring to mind, one when I was getting a cab home from a club with my little brother, the guy drove so dangerously we asked him to stop and walked the rest of the way, honestly he ran red lights and was swerving up onto the pavement. The second one was a cab in Amsterdam, who drove us the long way round then dropped us off in the middle of nowhere, then demanded payment of 50 euros or he would hit my b/f, we paid and then had to walk for over an hour to get home in the freezing cold.

Only one where I thought my life was hanging by a thread. It was going to the top of the mountain in Martinique while the radio announcer was talking about the taxi that went off the road and rolled down the mountainside. It probably would have been better if I couldn't speak French at all.

lots of times!!I was inside the cab when the taxi driver suddenly opened his door was yelling at another driver. Im not sure if the other driver cut him off or something, then the taxi driver im with took an ice pick like he was about to stab the other driver. Good thing there were cops around..yikes

Yes, I had this indian/pakistan/saudi arabian??????? guy give me a ride and he was driving sooooooo crazy - hitting corners fast, and cuttin in tight spots!! I was freaked out, plus the whole time he's got this Indian music playin (should I even call it music?), with this chanting of jibber-jabber and he was singing and chanting and humming the whole time! I swear he was a Taliban member (no I'm not a racist.)
I musta touched every side in the back of that cab-he was driving so crazy.

YES! In Atlanta. The cab driver was trying to get back to the mall because there was a certain lady he was trying to hook up with and he was in a HUGE hurry to drop us off. I wanted to kiss the ground when I finally got out of the cab!

In India in one of those tic-tic (3wheel vehicle) the driver was shouting, hooting and raising his fist at everyone. In that traffic jam we rode for 20mins and he never once put his foot on the brake. He was on the sidewalk, weaving in and out of other cars, people, animals.....it was so exciting, if we had time we wanted to do it all over again

Yes, I was in London last summer and exchanged some looks with my friend. We were both relieved when we got to the right address safely & extricated ourselves from the car.

Yeah in Tijuania. I was scared to death. I could smell the transmission burning on the hills and he took us through the slums of TJ.
