Today, I took a taxi to my hotel. I specifically said that my destination was the Hilton resort. He took me to a bed and breakfast across town. When I finally got to my hotel, I cursed him out and didn't give him a tip. I then realized I'd left my phone in the taxi after he left. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I rode in the cab on the way back to my dorm from the airport. The taxi driver was on the phone and not really paying attention. I paid him and got out of the cab, but he drove away before I could get my luggage out of the trunk. FML
Today, I called a taxi after a night of partying. When it arrived, I realised I had no cash, so I told the driver I'd quickly grab some from an ATM. He made me leave my phone with him as collateral in case I was pulling a prank. He drove off the moment I turned my back. FML
Today, I had to take a taxi to work, because I was pressed for time, and didn't have a ride there. When I got to work, I paid the cab driver, and realized I had spent more money on the cab than I was going to make at work. FML
Today, I took a cab ride home from a bar. After a few minutes of horrible driving, I felt sick. The cab driver got so mad she locked me in the car and started driving me to the cops unless I payed her extra. Basically, I paid $120 for a five-minute cab ride. FML
Today, I fell asleep in a taxi. So did the taxi driver. FML
Today, I took a taxi ride with my friends. As we were getting out, I paid the taxi driver. With a grin, he drove away fast. It turns out my friend had already paid. FML
Today, I was taking a taxi home after drinking too much. I started to feel sick and, not wanting to be charged the cab cleaning fee, threw up into my handbag instead. When we got to my place I then had to fish through my bag for my wallet to pay the driver. FML
Today, it's my first day as an expat. Hoping to arrive early for work, I hailed a cab. The driver took it upon himself to take the scenic route and play tour guide, no matter how much I refused. Not only was I late, he turned violent when I refused to pay his $100 fare plus a "talent fee." FML
Today, I got into an Uber, excited for the date I was going to. After about 20 minutes, I had a confused conversation with the driver, because it seemed like we were going to the wrong address. I checked the app, I'd booked a ride to my ex’s place out of habit. FML
Today, after having a fight with my BFF, she invited me to come along to a party. I found out later that she'd only invited me so that when returning from the event, we could take a taxi and split the cost. FML

Ha ha. YDI While it is annoying that they took you to the wrong place you should always repeat the destination at least twice to make sure they heard you right the first time. But this is Karma in action.... and she is a mean bitch. So next time don't piss her off.

Wow... This is a major sign of karma, I'm sorry to say, but YDI. I hope you got your phone back, though............

I honestly don't see how this is karma in action. A cab driver fails at his job, OP has to pay extra for being driven to the wrong place and wasting time..and they deserve to lose their phone for being upset and not giving the man a tip for failing? I dunno man, I don't think OP deserves it.

your life can't suck that much if you are checking in at the hilton,

I thought something similar, tho I'm sure it's a company trip for some reason. But something abou the way OP feels the need to point out "Hilton Resort" and "some bed and breakfast" made me hit the YDI button...

#61, I thought the same thing. Adding that it was the Hilton was kind of unnecessary.

I kinda hope the taxi driver uses your phone to call in and confess to random crimes before hanging up.

Maybe you should have kept calm and the taxi driver might have been more inclined to put it in a lost and found, in which case you would have a much greater chance of getting it back.

Makes you feel good to curse the person out doesn't it? They messed up, so yeah you don't have to tip cause that's a pretty big mistake but the cursing out was going over the limit. So yeah you pretty much deserved that last part. Cooler heads always prevail.

did you have a password lock on your phone?
