Taxi cab confessions
My roommate in NYC once got in an argument with a cabbie over the fare. Sitting there listening was um, awkward.
Not long after 9/11, a friend from school and I took a cab in NYC. The friend was acting weird and said, in a loud voice, that he'd recently done some blow. He then asked the cabbie what type of sex acts he was into. Again, a pretty awkward situation for yours truly.
In Athens, the cabbies (or at least the ones I've had) always try to rip off tourists. Tip: They'll sometimes back down if you know a bit of Greek. Also, try to find out from a native what a typical fare is for your trip, just so you have a point of reference. Some of those guys quoted a fare that was about 50 times what it should have been!
