[nagdu] taxi reusal in Brooklyn, new York

[Mariea Harris]

I too agree with this. I have given the cab info that I had a dog, 
thinking I'd be more likely to get someone who is OK with it. When I did 
that though, it took twice as long to get a cab to me. I then had a cab 
driver tell me I needed to tell them I had a dog after he pulled up to 
pick us up and didn't know there was a dog. His excuse was that some 
people don't like dogs. I told him I didn't have to tell them I had a 
dog and that he had to take us. I also threatened to call the cab 
company back. He took us, but not too happily. I did call the cab 
company to verify what I needed to do and the manager told me I didn't 
have to mention anything about my dog to the dispatcher. Now I refuse to 
tell them I have a dog. We got a driver a few weeks back that I could 
tell didn't want my dog in his car. It was just his attitude and he 
didn't say it out right. Then Valiant grabbed something off the floor 
and ate it. I corrected him for it. My boyfriend and the driver weren't 
in the car yet. When they did get in, the driver got upset because 
Valiant had eaten his candy.I was thinking to myself, why do you have 
candy on the floor anyway? Apparently it was in a container of some 
sort. Then the driver did something really odd. When we got to our 
house, he asked to use our hose. He then proceeded to wash out his van 
and mats. He said my dog had made a mess but it wasn't my fault. No idea 
what he meant by that when Valiant wasn't even moving. I guess he meant 
his shedding. LOL. I really hope we don't get that driver again.
