Next Stop...Crazy Taxi Drivers!

Kristen in Haiti and I went out this weekend and had a ridiculous night the main point of this however is our horrible experience trying to get home. We were in Adams Morgan and needed to get a cab, first of all it started raining so that was just awful and now they won't let you get a cab off the main street there's one main location they pick you up so we went there got in cab and he said $26 to home. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? It was only $16 to get there, but he was a Maryland cab, I was like are you flying us there because if not its not worth it. So then we got out about 1 block up. As we got out my dress literally split so the once small slit in the back of my dress now went up just a little to high and I had to stand there holding it together in the rain. Kristen managed to flag down another cab...little did we know he was awful too. We get in and say we're going home and he says "$20 flat rate because it's Saturday Night and I just don't want to go there"...again ARE YOU KIDDING ME? When did cabbies start getting so bossy! Ok fine $20 at this point we just want to get home so he takes us to my apt and then we tell him where Kristen's is (keep in mind its 2 miles and about 4 min from minutes on the way back into DC) He says "no I said $20 flat rate to home its $15 more for her". WHATT!!! She still lives in the same area, so he starts yelling I don't want your money get out of my cab, seriously INSANE, so we get out I mean he said he didn't want to money right, then he starts screaming to pay him for the first part of the ride. OMG We wrote his license plate down but missed the name of the cab company but don't you worry we are still researching this. I hate trying to get cabs to VA in DC...rant over. =)
