We had a taxi ride from central NY to Newark airport a few years ago - the driver was unable to name the massive stadium we passed on the way, was texting one-handed the entire journey and had several close shaves with other cars. Their lane discipline and adherence to speed limits was worse than the Greeks.
At the airport I went to pay by card and pressed "No" at the tip request; the driver lost their mind and cancelled the transaction for me to try again! My wife grabbed the suitcases out of the boot while I paid the exact fare, then we ran into the airport. Surprised the driver didn't chase us.
