The cabbie is a moron.

[cripplecreek]

LOL yeah pretty much.

[Larry Lucido]

At least it wasn’t a rickshaw.

[ken5050]

He just learned the hooker’s life lesson: Get the $$ up front..

[latina4dubya]

double face palm...

how in the world can this story even be true????!

[Gamecock]

Was thinking the same thing!

[Uncle Chip]

Something just doesn’t make sense here.

BTW do you have his phone number. I need to go to Seattle tomorrow — doesn’t hurt to ask.

[VanDeKoik]

I hope the cab company fires this idiot.

This clown should have gone to a Greyhound station.

[Larry Lucido]

Black-hanson should have had to ride in a Hansom cab loaded with Beef-a-Reeno.

BTW interesting factoid. It appears that the Hansom cab was invented in 1834 by Joseph Hansom, an architect from York.

[Larry Lucido]

And he had to spend the night in a homeless shelter, eating muffin stumps and reading books flagged by Brentano’s.

[Gamecock]

You are killing me!!

[Gamecock]

Wonder if they game him a clean change of clothes?

I drove for Yellow Cab for over 10 years. Long trips were on a flat rate, not the meter. We collected in advance if it wasn’t a charge. Runs from Newport News to Atlantic City were not uncommon, one driver picked up a fare to Miami. I even had a pay as you go policy for long local runs. One woman was trying to find her husband, every time the meter hit $50 I collected. Every time it hit another $50 I collected.

Well, that is less money for the cabbie’s jihad, so I guess everyone is a winner.

Many cabbies are really self employed. The “company” is a booking agency of sorts, not an employer per se. Different arrangements in some big cities of course, but in general….

For more than a decade, Hoseny has been hopping in his taxi and taking people from here to there.

Apparently, for the majority of his entire life, however, he's been a dumb ass.

If you read as far as the second sentence of the article, you’ll learn that both clowns were at a Greyhound station when the whole thing started.

You insinuatin' the food chain level at a Greyhound Station is lower than the level at JFK? His new friends from the shelter would be insulted.
