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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I decided to be responsible and call a cab to take my drunk ass home from the bar. As I climbed into the cab, I was quickly pulled back out and had the shit beaten out of me by a group of drunk guys who thought they needed the ride more. The police soon arrived and arrested us all. 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, I went out drinking with my friends. At the end of the night I got a cab ride home. I must have passed out because when I woke up I wasn’t at my place, but my parent’s house, which is the address on my license…120 miles away. The fare was $220. 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 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 halted a cab. It was 12 degrees and snowing outside. When I went to get in, a man shoved me away and I slipped on ice into dirty snow slush, and he stole my cab. As it drove off, the man flipped me off. FML
Today, I caught a cab to take me to a hospital appointment. The driver turned around and told me I was in the Cash Cab. I got really excited and screamed. That is, until she laughed and said, "Just kidding. I always wanted to do that to someone." FML
Today, the car I was in got pulled over by the police for making an illegal turn. I was in a cab. And he kept the meter running. 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, 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She can't do that, legally when you say to stop the driver has to, they can lock you in if you are refusing to pay, but you weren't so she kidnapped you and then extorted more money from you

Unless you were so far gone I would have went to the police, and charged her with kid napping.

I don't see what was wrong with her taking you to the cops?? Not like you were drinking and driving... you called a cab. I would've let the crazy broad take me to the cops, she'd have gotten arrested for kidnapping and extortion

<p>OP. Please set the record straight; did you or did you not throw up in the taxi? </p> <p>Also, did you take the taxi drivers badge number and vehicle registration? Or did you prebook?</p>

<p>Your fault, shoulda let her take you there</p>

<p>That is just plain outrageous and her actions can be considered as kidnapping since she was holding onto you against your own free will, and even worse when she threatened you and made you pay more than what she deserved. I hope you took down her information or at least her license plate and report her to the cops. </p>

<p>You puked in someone's car </p> <p>You refused to pay for clean up </p> <p>The cab driver was going to lose money while off the road and have to tidy up your drunken mess so she 'persuaded' you to do the right thing.</p> <p>You deserve it!</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

By "felt sick" do you mean you vomited all over the backseat? Because...

You should have told her to bring you to the cops. They would have arrested her for kidnapping and extortion. I hope you got at least her name so you can call that company and tell them what she did. They would probably fire her. At the very least put the name of the company out there on social media so others can be forewarned.

Should have let her take you to the cops she would get arrested for black mail I'm sure lol and not to mention they only care if you're being disorderly not if you're just sick...

People asking why OP didn't just let her take them to the police station, probably because: 1: They were drunk and couldn't think very clearly. 2: A lot of people have been conditioned to panic when someone threatens to involve the law, even if they aren't doing anything wrong. 3: Some cops will fine people for being drunk in public even if they aren't breaking any specific laws.

<p>You should have let her do it. Then you can file charges against her.</p>
