An Australian taxi lobby, in an effort to demonstrate why taxis are more awesome than Uber, asked people to tweet their taxi stories. People responded with complaints about surly, incompetent, and crooked taxi drivers.
From Mashable:

Driver picked us up, asked where we were going then screamed at us to get out because he didn't want to go there #YourTaxis

@yourtaxis #YourTaxis That time a cab driver pulled an AXE out from under his seat to show me what happens to fare evaders lol

The many times that the driver refused my fare because I wasn't going far enough #YourTaxis

With some verging into the potentially criminal
I was sexually assaulted by a cabbie. When I came out about it on twitter, cabbies threatened to bash me for supporting uber. #YourTaxis

Memorised out-loud a taxi number as I put my female friend in a cab. Cab driver took offence and abused us both. Me physically. #YourTaxis

Not a PR fail @jonkudelka. Wanted to start a convo about @YourTaxis & offer an avenue for you to tell us what you think, which we have done

Sorry to hear that @mariahmrose. That is unacceptable. Always keen to get details in these situations so we can follow up directly.
