    Yay for the snow! I knew I shouldn't have been excited when last weekend felt like an early spring.

    Also I can't believe this is the first time I realized there's a Minnesota thread. Time to join you all in staying inside as much as possible until the roads are cleared.

    What do you mean now

    It has always been snowing, everywhere, forever. Snow is.

    Biking home was pretty crazy. I'm suprised I made it.

    Biking to the gym and back was insanity.

    No. Sleeping is when the snowmen break in.

    Out of the office window I saw 494. At 2:30-3 it was crazy, everybody was trying to "beat the rush" and leaving early to get home. At 5, there were very few cars on the road.

    I'm pretty sure if I took mine out right now it would freeze before we reach the first marker.

    It's not that cold out or anything, my tauntaun is just a wuss.

    Also, is putting the $ after the price a thing in Minnesota

    Is that how you avoid paying taxes on clothes

    Putting the dollar sign before the number has never made any sense.

    It's 75 dollars. Not dollars 75! What is this... Mexico!

    ive never agreed with anything more than i agree with this

    Finally back in Minnesota after delaying my flight home a day to avoid yesterday's storm.

    I think I've decided I'm done trusting the airport taxis. Last time I flew in the guy "forgot" to start his meter and told me it would probably be an amount that was more than it actually would have been. Then today the driver first took us the long way home (still being new to the area and not completely knowing my way around I didn't realize it until it had already happened), and followed that up by telling me I didn't give him enough while he thumbed two bills I had given him together. So it's uber for me from here on out.

  • PetesalzlPetesalzl vorpal blade in hand Registered User regular
    yeah, last airport taxi i took pulled something similar. told me that he was off the clock but would give me a good deal so he wasnt going to turn the meter on. then when he dropped me off he was like, thats 50$ cash. theres no way it should have been 50 and he also didnt tell me it would be cash cause i dont carry any. it didnt go well. ended up taking me to an atm and then charging me for that too.
    never again

    Call and report them both. Seriously, don't let them get away with shit like that.

    My favorite Airport Taxi incident was from Boston Logan to Brighton, MA. That should be, maybe forty bucks and I had done that trip a dozen or so times and this random guy said it was $80. I said I didn't have enough on me, but I did in my bags. I got out, got my bags out, handed him $40 and just walked to my building. He didn't do anything and I never used anything but Uber after that.

    Already called the company (it's Metro Taxi & Limo just so you all know not to use it), I didn't get a name or cab number because I was too pissed and ready to get out of there, but the person that answered got the trip specifics and said they would let their supervisor know. How true that is we'll never know.

    Would leave a shitty Yelp review too if I wasn't so disinclined to create an account.

    Always use Red and White in Minneapolis. Anyone else are pretty much crooks.

    For the rest of the month Tuesdays and Thursdays will be the best likely (if I'm not out looking at houses to buy) and weekends will be a crapshoot. Some, like this Saturday, could work.

    Speaking of Saturday, I've got at least two stations for Street Fighter V committed. I'm looking forward to punching mans.
