I don't tip cabbies.
1 cabbie, coming home from a bar after my friend got kicks out for being too drunk, told me;
"If he puke in my cab it's $150...you don't have $150 get out of my cab."
The cab ride was $23, I gave him a $20 and we took off. He spouted something about the cops, we shruged it off, $3 is no big deal, especially when you spout insults at someone like he did.

So how would you like someone who barfs in your car when you are trying to make a living. You are lucky the cabbie drove you drunks home and than you ripped him off. You acted like a real jerk and now you are bragging about it?

Lucky he drove you drunks home???
Isn't that the job of a cab driver to drive people home.
I agree that it isn't right that someone throw up in the car but his friend didn't even do that. The way the cab driver handled it I think I may have preferred if his friend had thrown up and not had the $150.
If me or my friend throws up in a guys cab I/we would do everything we could to rectify the situation. But if the cabbie acted like a jerk like this guy did I would be way less inclined to help.Sure [/b][/quote]
Sure the job of the cabbie is drive people home, but if you have allowed yourself to get so drunk that you appear ready to barf or p*ss yourself, the cabbie has no obligation to take you. If you barf in his cab, he has to clean it up [lovely job] and then try and dry it out before he can take any passengers. Basicly his night is over and not only did he not make any money but since he is paying a lease on his taxi, he actually loses money. Not all people are as responsible as you, as evident from the other poster, who showed his appreciation by shorting the cabbie by threee bucks. There are rules a cabbie has to follow and there is a price that is set for throwing up in a cab [not sure it is 150 dolllars]. The cabbie was warning his passengers about the cost and I don't blame him. The cabbie has the right to turn down any fare he wants to and considering all of the violence that has been happening against cabbies in recent years, I don't blame them.
