Cab Ride from Hell

Although we are occasional cab riders -- this is San Francisco, after all, not NYC -- we have nothing but mediocre cab experiences. Never horrible, never exceptional (except for one nice cab driver who knew the nearest cross street of every address we gave him -- awesome!!). That's what makes this tale from Mission Mission so incredible.

In a story recounted to the site, a woman called a cab from Kilowatt to take her back to (presumably) her apartment. The woman was severely drunk, but the cabbie threw her out of his cab -- literally, as the woman says she has bruises and was bleeding -- and took off with her wallet and cell phone in the car. She later recovered the wallet, minus $100 and her Muni pass.

Although it is stressed that this story could possibly be just that -- a story -- it got us wondering: does anyone have any bad cabbie stories? Or, any good ones? Leave your ire/love of the yellow taxis in the comments jar.
