FILIPINO TAXI DRIVERS aka THE SCUM OF THE EARTH!!!

I decided to take the morning off from work because i wasn't feeling very well this morning. Maybe because i laughed my guts out after watching Rex Navarrete in Greenbelt 3 last night (that man is FUNNY! And he's sooo cute everytime he says "Wassup for you, Ladies?!").

And so i left the house at around 1130am and when i got outside of the village, i decided to take a cab since i was in a hurry to get to work. I approached a cab...

Scum (taxi driver): Miss, san kayo?
Me: Manong, sa may Greenbelt lang po.
Scum: Miss, 150 po ha? (i've ridden cabs from my village to greenbelt before and it really only costs around 70 bucks)
Me: Manong, yung greenbelt po sa Makati yun, hindi sa Quezon City.
Scum: Eh miss, traffic eh. Tsaka babayaran pa po namin yung dispatcher.
Me: Ah ganun? Sige ho, FX na lang po sasakyan ko.
Scum: O miss, 120 na lang.
Me: Hindi na po, bale. Yung FX 20 pesos lang eh.

So i took the FX even if i had to wait awhile for more passengers.

Gggrrr!!! Most taxi drivers in this country will do everything just to get more money out of you. I'm sure everyone has a really bad taxi driver story to tell. I have lots but this one should be enough for now. Whats your story?
