re: First Time Using Uber: It's basically a taxi service with a cool app

Ya, only real bad experience I've had with Uber was in Dallas. Had to get to airport during afternoon rush after a conference. I wait about 20 minutes or so for him to get to me, which was understandable due to traffic. I had selected UberX but he was driving a Mercedes. He then gets to me and says he can't do the ride at UberX prices and for me to cancel and hit select. Ya, not doing that, and now I'm short on time. He requests I cancel the ride. I say "OK" and take a cab.

Of course, I didn't cancel the ride because Uber would charge me the cancel fee and I'd have to explain this whole situation to get a refund.

I enjoyed his texts asking me to cancel over and over as I rode to the airport. Bad apples in every industry.
