Thanks for lying to me, taxi. After telling me repeatedly over a 45 minute stretch that your car was “a few minutes away” it never did show up.
I could have built a car in the time you took to concoct your increasingly lame excuses.
You suck. I hope HRM reads this and implements a One Zone taxi regime… Because in a free market, you are dead.
I hate you for stealing an hour from my work day.

so, does this happen every day? or just once in a lifetime of taking taxis?
Well, over the weekend you can build yourself a car. Also, why in the fuck would you need to take a taxi to work? The city is about the size of a large dick. Suck it.
I’ll suck that large dick…
OB, why not call another taxi company? Whoever gets there first wins the fare!
Isn’t that what GPS is meant for, to know where the cab is? …..or is it the same story as debit machines that don’t work, no signal, no paper, etc.
I haven’t had any problems with Halifax cabs, they have always been clean and well maintained. The drivers are professional, from my experience, and I’ve never had a problem with their service.
On the few occasions that I have used Dartmouth cabs, I have found the cars old, and not very clean. I was at a house party in Keystone village a few years ago, and when my cab arrived I called the cab company to tell them to send a better vehicle .. it was one of those big cars from the eighties, blue smoke pouring out the back, and as loud as a tank! Another time, I realised the driver had liquor on his breath … I was already halfway home, and didn’t want to get out where I was, so I took the safety risk. I called the cab company about it when I arrived safely home. They need better taxi regulation over there, imo.

I haven’t taken a cab in ages, my memories of cab drivers from way back was that they all smelled of that muscle relaxing liniment from having to sit in the cab for long hours.
