"Get The Fuck Outta' My Taxi:" Getting from Manhattan to Brooklyn Still Sucks
Back in May, Mayor Bloomberg signed a bill stating that cabbies can be fined anywhere from $500-$1K for flat-out refusing to take your ass from point A to point Park-Slope-But-Just-Over-The-Bridge-Like-Right-Off-Of-Flatbush-I-Swear. Despite this new law, one cabbie jerk recently refused to take a couple from Manhattan to Williamsburg. The boyfriend began recording the confrontation, but this didn't make the cabbie cool down and place nice for the camera.
"I don't care," the driver yells when the man recites his ID number with a giggle. "Take it. Take it down! I don't give a fuck! I don't want to do this shit anyway!"
I wonder if Auto-tune the News will get their hands on this one. It's been a year since Antoine Dodson. We need a new summer re-mix.
Why can't cabbies just be nice and conversational, like Jimmy used to be?
