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

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

And this is why I've conditioned myself to do a 3 pocket check anytime I leave somewhere [2 side pockets and 1 back pocket] to always ensure I never leave my keys, cellphone or wallet anywhere I go.

I can understand not giving the guy a tip, but was it really necessary to curse him out? Like you've never messed up anything in your life? If it happened to me, I'd be pissed, but that's life, sh*t happens. No need to treat the driver like crap. Do you yell and curse at waiters for messing up your order, too? I hope he found your phone and tossed it out a window. :)

I'm willing to be the reason the driver got cursed out was because he was adamant about not making a mistake [that OP said the wrong thing] and that he would have to pay the cab fair to the first place and the new hotel - Just a guess. . .If he just made a mistake, offered to rectify it and you cursed him out than you're just an asshole.

Next time know that address of your hotel and study the town on the internet before going. Some cities may have more than one airport holiday inn for example.
