Filed a complaint against a taxi driver?

I've never filed a complaint but I called 311 from my cell phone while in a cab when the driver refused to take me to Brooklyn (from downtown Manhattan). Do you have all his info? I'd lodge a complaint on principle. He sounds like a jackass.

Oh, ask my husband, he'll tell you. It doesn't happen so much anymore, but cabs used to never stop for him in Manhattan because they assumed he lived way out in Brooklyn somewhere. Of course, now all types of people live waaaay out in the middle of Brooklyn somewhere, so this doesn't happen as much anymore.

grammatically, carlton banks meant that he went to court as an african-american man, as opposed to in his filipina drag persona or as his less-well-known clown character, Guglielmo Macaroni, inventor of radio-transmitted pasta.

Now if it were Bologna, now _that_ really would have BEEN something...

many historians believe that macaroni's disappointment over his thousands of failed attempts to transmit meats and cheeses drove him to insanity and, ultimately, to an early grave. in his last years, his habit of wandering the streets, haranguing passersby with nonsense about amino acid wave length while fluttering his hands to indicate passage through the air earned him the nickname "feathering guglielmo". cruelly, it is this nickname that has persisted in the public eye, long after the achievements of his early career were taken for granted. some say that his son was driven to a hermitic life by his futile attempts to suppress "yankee doodle dandy", which he claimed denigrated his father's memory.
