Dang, girl . . . I used that same ploy 54 years ago to get away from a rapist: "My boyfriend will definitely be looking for me. . . " I'm so glad that you thought fast and got away, and I believe you changed the outcome.
You should file a complaint with his company. Even if there was no ill intent, at the very least, he's ripping off the company and pocketing the money by not calling in the ride. He gave you his cell number so that the ride does not go through the call center, so as far as the company is concern, he had no ride.
I agree 💯%. And I think we do need to report these kinds of incidents to police aswell. If several reports come in it starts to form a history and police can be more aware and more likely to respond. I find the non- urgent government hotline in my area is much better and happier to record incidents than trying to report to the local station (they are probably overwhelmed.) I'm not in US though.
It could be everything u suspected because everything is so very possible…It also looks like it could be a regular set up to basically run the meter up to make more money. Maybe it’s their way of scamming passengers, especially women into paying more. He will scam the wrong person one day. Glad you’re safe 🙏🏽
Reminds me of yearrrs ago when I was being transferred between hospitals (they ordered me a car to transport me from ER to another campus). While en route the driver gets off the phone & said "If it's alright I'm going to pick up a homeboy of mine". In a daze & not feeling well I OBJECTED & told him I Do mind. I think he was stunned I had enough in me to speak up... so he swerved, resumed appropriate route but he cursed me out calling me all kinds of "b*tches" the whole way. It was still scary.
Tbh its always better to be safe then sorry. As a female whenever you get that feeling you have to act on it. The way he kept asking you if you were okay with the detours he was trying to see how submissive you are. No regular taxi driver would ever do that. The fact that he told you to call him is completely normal but its also being really nice? I would have personally also called it through the taxi company so they are on the loop and know you are with there driver. That last koce at the end was smart
He probably was trying to gauge my submissiveness. And ya, i didn’t take taxis for a while after that but when I did, I made sure to only ever go through the company!
A taxi driver straight out told my sister in law he was going to kidnap her. Luckily she stood up for herself enough he ended up dropping her home (said her husbsnd was waiting for her etc which was true.) She didn't report him because he then knew where she lived and she worried about retaliation. Always sit behind the driver and get their cab ID number before you get in. Don't travel alone unless you have to. Very scary! P.S. I've tried requesting a female driver but they didn't have many in my area and they were already booked. Should be a market for female cab drivers! I would pay extra. 👍
WTF. The fact that he even verbalized something like that is beyond me. Also, what I’m seeing in these comments is that mentioning a man (real or not) is the only thing (from what we think) that gets us out of these situations. Glad it got your SIL home safely though. I think there are 1 or 2 female only ride share companies, but don’t think they’re too popular.
Thank you for sharing! How terrifying.
Thank you for watching! And it really was!

@@Vittachitta Thank God you were able to get away. And ya, that tactic is one every woman should always have in her back pocket. Thanks for watching 🥰

You guys are 100% right. I wish I would have at the time

It’s all fun and games until you try it with the wrong person. And thank you 😘
This is what I was thinking since he charged way more than it should have been. Either way super shady and disgusting behavior

SIR, I’m literally at the hospital. Your “homeboy” has not place in this car. The nerve of him. Sorry that happened and Happy you’re safe 🙏🏽

What would you do?
You are a good story teller but man you take a long ass time to get to the point.
The entire point is her journey in the car, wtf
