Re: Drunken Cab Rides
If you'd just offered him an extra $20 or $30 like a decent person before he asked, he probably wouldn't have asked you for $45.

Re: Drunken Cab Rides
He's being legit. His night, depending on what time it is, is essentially over. Even if he can get it cleaned up and get back out, his cab smells like vomit. Completely reasonable, and possibly backed by law though I'm not sure. I had a D.C. cabbie tell me they are authorized by the commission to collect a surcharge for this - while I don't know if that's actually true, it probably ought to be.

Re: Drunken Cab Rides
I am sorry to say that I used to drive a cab. In fact, I pwn3d my own cab, which I kept well maintained and spotlessly clean. So, needless to say, it used to piss me off to no end when people would treat it like their own personal trash can.
Although I am not a fan of most cabbies the fact is that your buddy is a douchebag. Any moron that doesn't have the foresight to know that they are going to puke shouldn't even be drinking in the first place. You are costing this guy money in a profession that is a bitch of a grind. It's bad enough that he has to deal with the scum of the earth day in and day out let alone have to breathe the fumes of and clean up puke. Pay up.

Re: Drunken Cab Rides
Where I live it's an automatic 50$ added to the fare if you puke in a cab. I cannot believe you even brought up this question.
If I was in this situation I would pay the extra fee he asks and offer to help out with the clean-up, in fact, it's happened to me before.

Re: Drunken Cab Rides
I think many of you are getting the wrong impression. I totally offered the guy an extra 20 right away, but he demanded more, which may have been reasonable. The bottom line is that I was wasted and in such a state that I got upset at the demand.
The debacle was settled by giving the guy 20 dollars and giving the back seat a quick clean.
