26-year-old turns the tables on a taxi driver attempting to overcharge him, takes him on a joy ride that costs the driver double and gives him a 1-star rating: ‘Things take a turn…’

"So in the end, for his pettiness, I got credit, and he got no money going into his account, his ratings dropping, and his way of picking up anyone else was essentially blocked for a good half hour of the day."

It's hard out there for anybody just trying to make a living. Desperate times call for desperate measures. That being said, like, still be kind and respectful. We're all swimming up the same creek, so don't be shady to individuals. Being petty towards a large company is different. But don't try to pull something uncool with a small business or individual on that grind. We're still a society.

Sometimes catching a cab is confusing, right? You could hail a cab, call a car, request an Uber, Lyft, whatever. There are so many options now, and yet all the cars seem to look the same. So it's no surprise that this group of friends made a little mistake: They got into the wrong car. They thought it was theirs, but it turns out it was just some random cab they unintentionally hailed. An honest mistake, tbh.

The friend had to cancel the old ride and was totally willing to pay the fine because it was totally his bad. But that's when the original driver decided he could take advantage of this moment and scam this guy out of money.

Little did he know that he chose the wrong friend group. This guy went into early 2000s-movie hacker mode and was able to stop the payment, redirect this guy on a wild goose chase, and then get this guy's profile suspended while also leaving him with a 1-star review. The guy trying to unlawfully make an extra buck ended up costing himself several extra bucks. That's what happened when you choose chaos over kindness.

We know, we know. Sometimes it's hard to choose the right path, especially when everyone is financially struggling. But in this case, the path was clear. You take what you can get and move on with your day. You don't try to mess with someone else just trying to live their life. You see what happens? Karma comes back for you, clear as day! And, honestly, bravo!
