One of their taxi drivers refused to bring me to my destination which was only 15 minutes away from where I boarded. He gave the excuse that it's coding for him on a Tuesday when his number plate ends in 5. Then he gave another excuse. When I wrote down the info on his taxi, he got mad and tried to pick a fist fight with me in public. 24/7 do have horrible drivers. Beware of certain drivers from the taxi company called 24/7 taxi.

My phone has a locked code even if they change simcard on it. but I heard they might be able to unlocked it. Anybody has an idea on how I can totally have that phone locked or so that it is impossible for them so use it. Patas kumbaga?

I know late2x na gd ni greeting ko.hehe Grabe ang mga Manila taxi drivers. Reading about them here makes me loathe them already. I've always wondered how the road rules of the MMDA and also in the provinces will be strictly followed by the public transport drivers since around 90% (I think) of the jeepney and taxi drivers in our country are almost illiterate. The LTO should be strict in giving driver's license in the first place. If indi kabalo mg basa and magintyende rules, then indi pwede mg drive tani. Haay na lng gd to our country's ignorant standards and governance. hehe Belated happy anniversary to you and Deej, Jon’! I know late2x na gd ni greeting ko.hehe

And I really hate taxi drivers too, but more on how they drive. They are so cocky they don't bother with the rules and are not afraid to swerve like mad, because they don't pay for what they drive anyway. One time one taxi actually grazed at my Exalta. His fault. I was totally minding my own business and he was beside me, not even an inch ahead of me, when he suddenly turned to my lane. It was no big damage, and I ignored him and went ahead, and guess what happened? He tooted his horn so loud! Siya pa ang akig! Manila taxi drivers are certified dickheads. Hahaha I like this post.

Either because I seldom do cabs or they knew they shouldn't mess up with me knowing my place of origin/destination (military camp) ^^ But it really sucks to lose something that holds memories like a camera phone. My boyfriend lost his phone and I lost my camera in the camp (of all places). But anyway, bad experiences = lessons learned. Happy anniversary to you. :D Thank goodness, I never really had a such experience with bad taxi drivers.
