Cab driver tried to rip me off

by **Mini_B** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 3:05 am

Be careful of cab drivers in Roppongi shorting you on your change. A cabbie tried to rip me off the other night by folding the bills and...counting one of the them twice. I saw him do it and I couldn't believe that he was really trying to pull the old 'banana in the tailpipe'. I counted it myself sitting in his back seat and I told him that I saw what he did. I was so pissed that I forgot to write down his ID number. But I sat in his back seat until he gave me 1000 JPY. Lucky he caught me early that night.

Isn't that when you palm one yourself and say he actually short-changed you by 2 notes?

Just kidding. Getting the ID and reporting him would've been better.

Hmmm, smart trick! The cute cabbie's logic is that a drunk gaijin would not know how to complain properly to the taxi company or the police (and neither would have sympathy for a non-tourist gaijin).

The only honorable thing to do in that situation is to kill him and then kill yourself.

This is mostly why I now pay cabbies only in coinage. I carry around a huge coin purse/sack like below:

That tends to take care of any change swindling.

...soooo, you're an RPG character?

I'd hate to imagine how much 20,000 Gold would weight

(luckily most RPGs don't take that into account)
