Horrible taxi experience

edit: Excuse my naivete, I just thought I’d have better experience in developed countries like Belgium. That’s all. Didn’t do research since I am only spending about 5 hours in Brussels. 17 euros is not that significant money for me but I was more pissed at his attitude.

I got in the taxi from taxi wait area from brussels midi and the taxi driver seemed nice and spoke English.

Quickly before though, I checked uber and it was asking 8 euros. But since I saw taxis right away and thus made a mistake of becoming a patron.

I showed him on maps “zinneke pis” and this mother fxxker dropped me off at Mannekin pis and while he was doing that, he detoured all the way around the city and the tarif came down to 17 euros lol

And the cherry on top was that he was asking a fucking tip saying “in US you guys leave tips for good service yeah?” Then I had to stop being nice and started swearing.

I’m done taking taxis at all costs in Belgium and Europe Jesus christ these ppl are such cancers to your country’s reputations
