Tricky, tricky

June 8th, 2005 / #complaints, #letters

Dear United Cab Company:

I realize that you’re a taxi service and therefore a common vehicular design is necessary for name recognition, but do you really have to paint all of your cars black and white and slap your logo on the side?

Every time I see one of your cabs, I panic and downshift because I think you’re The Fuzz. Then, after you pass, I curse your name and swear never to use your service.

Because really, who wants to get charged $.40 for every additional mile while carting around in the back of a pseudo patrol car?

Love,
Casey

    Your grievance with their design is not the first to be noted…I’ve been complaining about that for years. I prefer the honking and swearing method of issuing complaints though.

    i totally agree. I hate pigs and anyone that looks like them. I say that everyone starts to egg every single united cab you see. Bastards.

Sorry, but comments are closed. Some things are best said in a vacuum.

  • Who I Am

    I'm a nobody from Florida with things to say (sometimes).

  • What This Is

    This is a not-so-detailed account of my adolescence over the course of almost a decade. Here, I shared my thoughts about things of no real consequence while at the same time being reckless with semicolons and flowery language.

    I used this website to connect with folks before Facebook. Today, I sometimes chronicle interesting thoughts and observations I have. I don't update as much as I should.
