OT: Am I The A**hole (AITA) - Manhattan cabbie story…
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
Now the E350 is in the shop up in Jupiter, and they've had it for a few days. I can walk to the Publix, but the keg kicked in the tapster. I need my car back.
I think he wanted a bigger fare - it's more of a pain for him to drive you a few blocks, although I see your point with regards to the luggage. Neither of you are a-holes.
Well, if it’s so short, he can drive, drop us off, get a tip and fare and re-queue in the taxi line.
I live in the Lehigh Valley and commute to central NJ (Somerville area). I am shocked at how often I pass NYC cabs on I78.
Mine's a 4-Matic and along w/ the no wipers, no low beams, they had like 20 codes to clear. LOL. I'm at $3K and they aren't done yet.We have a GLE 350 needs tires/brakes and rotors... this should be a nice bill
I was worried the front SAM module was shot, but it's apparently OK. That part is not something you want to replace, or pay to replace. Like everything else, things even out. Take it to the MB dealership religiously = $$$. Wing it, change your own oil w/ an extractor, and do what you can w/ youtube videos, then succumb to the codes and get it in a shop = $$$. Take your pick.
I love the car and I drive about 50 miles/week, so it's a keeper.
Not really that bad. 45 minutes door to door unless there’s an accident. Traffic is a lot lighter since COVID.
Took an Uber to the station today….dude just came from JFK and said he’s happy for the short drive.
You got the Verrazano Bridge for that. Or you could always could through Jersey.......
O think it was his wife not his Mom
Just imagine sexy time ... "oh mom ... you like that?! Yeah you do! Flip over ... you're my dirty little mom, aren't you?!"
Right, @laKavosiey-st lion?
Right, but then he spends more time sitting around not earning money.
He's still the a-hole for breaking the law and refusing you a ride, but you also d*cked him over by screwing him out of a more profitable ride. People walk in the city. What should have happened is he should have given you the ride, and then went home and complained to his wife that 2 lazy, spoiled SOBs screwed him out of money by making him requeue after a short-trip.
To make myself feel better about the hit to my wallet I tell myself that I’m pumping money into the economy.
We just left Rome and now going to other places. My wife says”when in Rome” so when in New York you go with their flow not yours. Trust me. I don’t like it.
The only time I had a Benz was a rental. In Germany. We had some larger bags (we were making a presentation at a hobby show--usually we travel fairly light) and when we got to the rental car place, the agent suggested a slightly larger car for an extra 10 Euros. It was a Benz. Mrs. KG noted "When are you ever going to get to drive a Mercedes on the Autobahn?" We took it. I had it up over 100 mph at one point--near Hockenheim (German Grand Prix site) too. A C130.
Drove a five speed MB hatchback (diesel) to Munich. Fun stuff!
