Wow, that guy's a dishonest idiot! Did you call the cab company 
that employed him? I think you should file a complaint with them 
(if you haven't done so already) and he should be fired!

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.
