I would never use an Uber in my life.

I have had enough altercations with taxi drivers during my time without having to deal with curry munching cow dodging thieving dickwits.

Language, language Veggie!. I acknowledge, though, that you are entitled to your opinion. It also makes me mad but I hold my tongue as best I can. This next bit is not for you.

Now to my response to the article here - how would she get out of the car safely, her luggage probably in the boot, perhaps the car also moving (albeit maybe slowly) at the time? I never trust any taxi driver even to do the right thing, put the meter down on getting into the cab, or take me by the shortest route to airport/home.

If we are going from home to Brisbane airport and away for anything upto a week we have a trustworthy parking area here - you drive your car there, they park it (we always opt for undercover), they drive you to the airport, you give them time/date of your return flight & when you advise your flight has arrived back & you have collected your luggage they pick you up & take you back to your car. Cheaper than perhaps ‘getting taken for a ride’. That’s our preferred choice. I’m sure many of you have similar places where you live. We are a 15 minute drive from the airport and many years ago got charged over $45 by taxi - hence never again when possible.

Having ensured nine long years dealing with an Indian landlord in Melbourne, I would be qualified in commenting on the sleazy underhanded tactics these money grabbing scum dogs get up to.

Rent in cash, no receipts which means no record of payment, resulting in many disputes with other residents and lack of response in addressing urgent repairs. Not paying electricity which resulted in no power for more than 24 hours then refusing to pay for spoilt food. Forced to pay $37000 for an unlawful eviction of another resident by VCAT.

At the start of 2024, all residents made a pact not to pay rent which resulted in a mass eviction. That cost the bitch in excess of $40000.

I reported her to the ATO, the City of Greater Dandenong Council and Victorian Residential Tenancy Tribunal. I am unaware of the outcome of these complaints as the organisations are bound by law not to disclose details of any investigation to the complainant.

But there's more! For another time....

Greedy, underhanded landlords come in all colours and sizes.
I'll make sure to contact my intrepid Vegg next time I want to take someone on.
You did well on the day.

At your service, madam!

I forgot to add that I was a victim of a hit and run on Father's Day 2018, resulting in a broken left ankle requiring two separate surgeries and the loss of my last job. That was a Punjab peaknuckle as well!

I can see how these things have put you on the defensive and angry with this particular race of people and there are many times I too do not trust them. But not giving receipts for cash paid, just takes the cake, that is just unconscionable. Unfortunately many other races also do similar dodgy transactions. It is and should be the government’s responsibility now to ‘buck up’ and start looking much closer at who they admit and perhaps follow up on them for a while - a very difficult thing to follow through with and expensive (that expense then would have to somehow come out of the taxpayer’s purse) and there doesn’t seem an easy way to do that. I try and hold my tongue in the public forum as much as I can but my husband’s ears cop the brunt when something happens!!
