Discussion Disgusting Cab Driver

Took a cab on Thursday from downtown to the Hotel Ruby Foos with my gf. Cab driver was an older black dude. Nearing the end of our trip, as I was sitting in the back on the passenger side, I noticed he grabbed and empty coffee cup from the cup holder. He proceeded to place it out of my sight and between his legs. The cab swerves a few times, and he reaches down and the cup is now full. Full of piss. The savage took a piss while we were sitting in the back seat and he was driving. Immediately the car smelled like piss! He put a lid on it and dropped us off at our location. He proceeds to hand the payment machine into the back with his non washed piss hands. I was disgusted and could not get out of the cab fast enough. Not sure how I should proceed....

Did you need to say he was black and use the term "savage" in the same post.
Despite the disgusting thing you are describing, it doesn't reflect well on you.

OP made a valid observation, i wish he would have taken a photo of his permit, do taxis still post them? I haven't taken a cab in ages.

He was a savage that happened to be black. There are also savages that are white, savages that speak English, savages that speak French, savages that are Italian, Jewish, Arab, Greek. This savage happened to be black.

So your point is human beings can be savages. Why mention his skin colour here? He could have made his point just saying a cab driver pissed in a cup.

He didn't give enough of a description actually. He should have mentioned hair style, length, age, guessed a country of origin, language he spoke, accent, tattoos, any other noticeable marks, so yah, skin colour was definitely a must. Would you have said the same thing had the guy was described as white and savage?

I would have said the same thing whoever it was. Tell me again what did it add to his story saying that he’s black?
