Yes,as a matterof fact, I've had that issue once.
A cab driver tried to tell me I gave him a five, not a twenty. In the 
first place, he had misquoted my fair purposely;I took the cab to a 
local FedEx, something I had done before and I knew full well that he 
tried to overcharge me. When I confronted him about overcharging me, he 
started stumbling over his words saying"Well,you had three boxes, and a 
dog,and..." Then I reminded  him that he can't charge me extra for 
bringing my guide dog, and he couldn't charge me for bringing my boxes, 
because it's not like he helped me load or unload them, and that the 
whole idea was just preposterous. I gave him a twenty and asked him to 
give me back the change he owed me. (Now, keep in mind, I told him I 
was paying him the standard fair of that rout, and that I was initially 
planning on giving him a small tip,but now that he's been so 
shamelessly dishonest and rude,he wouldn't get an extra cent.) He 
insisted for a few minutes that in fact, I owed him money, because the 
bill I gave him was a five,not a twenty. So I said, "ok, let'sgo inside 
the FedEx, and I'll ask one of the people there what the bill is.". At 
that point,he backed down and said forget it, ok. And gave me back a  
few bills and tried to drive off. I threw him another curveball when I 
proceeded to check the bills he gave me with my IBill,and found he gave 
me three ones instead of a five and two ones. Without a word,he briskly 
traded the one for a five,and sped off. He was absolutely furious. 
SowasI, because I couldn't believe someone would be such a piece of 
scum, and not once but a few times, but I was glad that in the  end,I 
didn't fall  for his low scheme.
