Which do you hate the most and why? Also if you have any good stories share them :D

In my case it's taxi drivers without a doubt. I find that they will cheat you out of as much money as possible and i find that loathsome.

For instance After a night of drinking me and a couple of friends were taking the cab back to someones place for more drinks. We had to get 2 cabs. I was in the second cab with a friend of mine who by that time was very drunk. He decides to admit that we were just visiting the city and we wanted to go to the place as soon as possible and stop when we had reached 20 dollars (it's all we had). Result? We didn't arrive 10 minutes walk from our destination having spent the 20 dollars whereas the other group (with the person from montreal) got home and it cost them 12 dollars.

EDIT: after reading back my second line, i realised i was being rather biased in my opinion... so i want to clarify that in a good amount of cases i found them to be this way.

I dislike taxi drivers more. There's always an awkward silence during the whole ride. The only downside of riding the bus are the stinky hobos.

I dislike bus drivers more than taxi drivers as bus drivers are funded through stolen money. But, I don't tend to collectivize people based on any number of factors. It's up to each individual person, and how their attitudes relate to mine. I much prefer taxi drivers and bus drivers that are silent as opposed to gregarious ones, for example.

I much prefer Bus Drivers although majority of them are mean, I can't blame them. I hate taxi drivers though because they never listen to your directions properly, you'll notice to when they pick you up somewhere (if you call in) they use their GPS to get there ASAP but when they're dropping you off they never use it, I've had times where I was telling the driver where we were going and he didn't even know it existed...it's a huge shopping area with dozens of restaurants, Best Buy, Walmart, Staples, Home Depot, clothing stores and some interior decorating stores that has been there for 2 years. I've always heard stories from some of my friends (girls) where we've left the taxi to grab some money at the gas station and the drivers offered them free rides if they gave him a blowjob. And normally I'd assume it's just one messed up cabbie but 3 different girls have told me 3 different stories, one guy even told her that there's no use going to our house and sharing the cab money when he can take her to his house and she can stay overnight then have a free ride home in the morning. So yeah bad experiences with cab drivers, and they seem to think they own the road, more so then the guys in big trucks

I don't mean to seem like I'm attacking you but, stolen money? Are you trying to tell me you'd rather be charged 1cent/second instead of paying $3 for a ride (sometimes more then one with transfers) that can last like an hour and a half?

it may not be intentional, but most bus drivers are evil, they can't wait just 5 secs at times for 1 person to get on

I hate the taxi driver. The bus driver just gets paid to drive a bus around and collect standard fares. The taxi driver is prone to dictating and manipulating fares like some wannabe Republican capitalist turd.

yeah of course. i'm not implying that all of one proup of people are exactly the same, but in your exerience, which have you had more headaches with.

Also forgot how painfully awful the bus drivers are in some places... where i live, if you arrive just a second or two after the door of the bus closes and is about to leave, 80% of the time he will just ignore you, even if you're waving and knocking at the door for a good 5 seconds...
