Happenings, whenever with Kenneth

Met up with Kenneth after work. Wasted most of our time waiting for the cops to come rectifying our conflict with a taxi uncle. This taxi driver is by far; the most outrageous i've yet to seen..a wolf in a sheep's clothing.

We took a cab from Pasir Ris to Takashimaya. Within five minutes into the mall, Kenneth realized his mobile is still lying in the cab. Called back using mine and the uncle agreed to make a U-Turn back to the taxi-stand. However, it made its way past us and cooked up an excuse saying he has a customer on his hand right then. Al rite, we take it easy..give the uncle thirty minutes and request for him back. BTW, that uncle is driving a Toyota wish from (Prime's Taxi).

Indeed, after 30 minutes, that Uncle dial back and said that he will be coming back, BUT on one condition-with a delivery fee of $20/-. What the heck did he want that for? Isn't it a common practice for a taxi driver to at least show a substantial level of customer service? After talking to that uncle for 10 minutes..both sides are unwilling to compromise(we are not willing to pay, that idiot not willing to return the handset)..Of cause..i will not even think of paying..If he make a detour back to us immediately, maybe we will considered tipping him for his prompt understanding he have shown. But this idiotic uncle DEMANDED 20 bucks from us and said as though it's our fault for leaving the mobile behind in his cab, which in turn causing him to lose many customers.

We finally give in, agreeing on the surface..so as to tricked him back to the taxi stand. His cab came back to the same taxi-stand. He was clever on his part;only lowering down his window shield, asking for the money before returning back the mobile..Fearing that we might open the doors to let ourselves in, he locked all doors shut. When he knew that we do not have the intention to give him any money, he wanted to drive off. Nah..we were not stupid as well..There was only one lane. Yah..he can get away, but he will need to knock both of us down.

Yeah..we both stood rooted in front of his cab..unwilling to step off. F*** him with any words we can think of. C'mon..We only want it back. He actually think he can drove off with a mobile which don't exactly belong to him.

By this time, our commotion has raised quite a handful of eyebrows from the passer-by. Taxi behind started to jam, all the way out to the main road..I have never heard 20-30 taxi sounding the horn simultaneously till then..coming at both of us,all at once..Security guards, concierge officers came running down..you should have seen the panicked look on the uncle's face. After all, these officers running down..is what we are looking forward to.


*Guards asking the uncle to get down, but he refused.


*Guards calling the police when the uncle locked himself inside the cab


*Explaining the whole story again."That bastard is extorting me".Haha..

Well..after the police came in..Kenneth finally got back his phone. A sign of relief after all this trouble.. Nope,that uncle was not arrested..But he sure gonna have his license suspended.
