I just got ripped off by a taxi.
Just one hour ago, I was thinking just to take 15 mins to go to the supermarket buy some stuff. Then I asked my workmate where is the closiest supermarket, then she told me the Spinney's in the Dubai Marina it will only take 5 mins. So I got on the taxi and told the driver I want to go to the Dubai Marina and I was worried if I said the name wrong so I also told him I ONLY want to go to the Spinney's supermarket to buy somethings.
So after 3-4mins he took me on the highway, then I asked him where he is taking me then he was shouting back to me and saying you said you want to go to the Dubai Marina Club so I am taking you there now. Then I asked how long does it take, then he said another 10 mins. Then I told him I only want to go to the spinney's then he said yes spinney's is there in the Dubai marina club, it end up cost me 39 dirhams just to got some shampoo and 35 dirhams back to my hotel.
I didn't go all the way to the Dubai Marina club (where ever he thinks it was) I told him to stop in one of the supermarkets on the way. Imagine if I go all the way to where ever he wanted to take me... how much it will cost me?
