Stupid shit in Medellin

[Villainy]

I know how to use In-Driver. Only a douch like you would have problems understanding a simple English sentence. Not successful using an app indicates the result was not what was expected. You are the one who asked "What does the meter say? I pointed out that some taxi drivers don't use the meter all the time.

One person had a positive comment about In-Driver and you interpret that as everyone else in the world besides me doesn't have much trouble using the app. You should look in the mirror when you question someone's intelligence.

Yes really good, and worth its weight in gold for first time visitor not speaking Spanish, never say a word order on phone and jump in and be on your way with zero jam up, can't recommend it enough! Enjoy!

Apparently you don't excel at reading. Here is another comment about the app. Apparently many people find it easy to use. Several of my friends who live here use it religiously. It usually works out to be less expensive than a cab and it has the added benefit that you don't have to check the meter for those like you that find it too challenging.

Over half of the active pharmaceutical ingredients used to make "American drugs" are made in China and India, with more coming from China. The fact is that most finished prescription drugs sold in USA Pharmacies are manufactured in facilities located all over the world, but very few in China.

Research by PharmacyChecker.com shows that 71% of top brand-name medications sold in USA Pharmacies are imported, demonstrating that the FDA's public statements on manufacturing are incorrect. Since 2010, FDA leadership has stated that 40% of finished medications and 80% of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) used to make all finished pharmaceuticals sold in the USA Are foreign made.

You are exactly correct where Marquisdesade1 is not. I have a pharmaceutical background.

Huh Shaggy? I never mentioned your name or referred to anyone else besides myself in my post. I guess a hit dog will holler.

So you admit coming to Colombia to go to lunch with a bunch of dudes everyday and not fucking women. Hey, it was your trip to do as you pleased.

Stop trying the Jedi mind tricks. No matter how much you suggest some other dudes should have you on their minds, it will only work on your lunch buddies.

There is nothing in this post that says JjBabbleOn, but I guess the glass slipper fitted, so you slid it on your foot.

Really? For 2 weeks you've been yapping like a little puppy about me having lunch with people and then mention you won't be having lunch with "dudes" and it's not a candy ass remark from some broke ass bitchboy? Uh-huh.

If you aren't making sure the meter is turned on and reset to the starting price, and you can't figure out how to use InDriver. Maybe you should "wonder" about your own intelligence.

I just happened to see this post by another member in the Medellin thread. No one else seems to have much trouble downloading or using the app.

Buy prescription drugs in the 3rd world.

Some buy Viagra etc, I won't even do that.

The quality or lack thereof may kill you or your loved ones (or maybe not).

The more critical it is to your health the more critical it is that you buy the "real" thing from a western pharmacy in a western country.

Even when I was too busy to check in and make fun of you, I'm still the number one topic on your mind, as indicated by your post above.

Not at all. When I get to Medellin the week after next I am just going to fuck women instead of going to lunch with a bunch of dudes everyday and not fucking women.

[Villainy]

Except I have posted like a dozen times my puss and I have a place in Cartagena.

Why would I read your posts in the Cartagena thread since I live in Medellin.

I guess it does not happen with you because the only women you ride in taxis with are older, ugly skanks.
Just curious, do you and JJBee share a taxi when you are on your dates?

Or perhaps I don't look and sound like I'm oozing papaya. Shouldn't you ask yourself why you are getting targeted all the time when others are not?

I have to wonder as Elvis does if you are talking about Colombia. If it is raining, and late at night, there are cabbies around Parque Lleras who turn off their meters. Then they quote some ridiculous fare. That is, if the rider notices the meter. If not, at the end of the trip is when the encounter occurs.

I have tried to use In-Driver a few times. Usually not successful. I have offered fares and weren't accepted. Then I use Cabify, and sometimes cost less than what I offered. Uber and DiDi are getting to be more scarce in and around Medellin.

Whenever I'm around Parque Lleras, looking for a taxi, I walk down to Parque Poblado and grab the first taxi in line. I've done that at all hours, except when it's really late and they're all gone. I've never seen one from there with the meter off, although I have seen some who hadn't reset the meter.

I figure the taxis circling around the park are more likely to be crooked, hoping to get a drunk who doesn't know better.

I've found Uber to be hit or miss. It gets annoying watching rides get 2 minutes away and cancel.

During the hours when they're available and I'm traveling by myself I am usually fine with grabbing a bus or the Metro, but that's not a popular choice when you're taking a girl back to your place.

Seriously dude, you need to sharpen up your story telling. Let's examine a few of your comments for a reality check. Cabbie tells you the fare is 20 mil but it is only 10 mil. What does the meter say?? You are aware that cabs have meters right?
Why aren't you using In-Driver?

Except that Elvis didn't post his "rip-off" experiences in the Cartagena thread he posted them in the Medellin thread and he didn't even attribute his experiences (if they are real) to Cartagena. This leads prospective visitors to Medellin to imagine all sorts of threats that really don't exist (except in his mind).

Except I have posted like a dozen times my gal and I have a place in Cartagena. And there is this from the Medellin thread.

Agree. Seems like every where I go. It happens about 30% of the time. It kills the mood, so I flat out refuse to use a taxi.

I guess it does not happen with you because the only women you ride in taxis with are older, ugly skanks.

You keep saying that, but you don't seem to be doing it. You said you were too busy fucking to mess with me and all anyone saw was you trying to mess with me. And we all know about Rio de Janeiro. You literally couldn't walk down the street without stopping to take pictures because you were thinking about me.

Even when I was too busy to check in and make fun of you, I'm still the number one topic on your mind, as indicated by your post above.

Anyone want to start a betting pool? We can bet on how many mentions or references MsE makes about me compared to the number of women he specifically describes fucking. One question though. When he refers to me and fucking a woman in the same post, how do we count that?

[JjBee62]

Seriously dude, you need to sharpen up your story telling. Let's examine a few of your comments for a reality check. Cabbie tells you the fare is 20 mil but it is only 10 mil. What does the meter say?? You are aware that cabs have meters right?? Are you going to tell me your "gal" knows the route and how much it should cost but when the cabbie took you on the long route to up the meter she didn't say anything? Like. (for example) "Where the F* are you going? This isn't the way."

Why aren't you using In-Driver? I'm sure your "gal" told you that is what Colombians use. You download the app. Something even you could probably manage. Put in your location and your destination and a suggested price. If you don't know. Put in something low-reasonable. You will get all sorts of offers. If your price is reasonable you will get an acceptance. If not, you can raise your offer a mil or so. It really is an easy process and then you have a fixed rate deal. There won't be any cheating the gringo (as you imagine it to be).

Like so many of your "stories" you just tell the story you want to tell without regard to facts or reality. If you said it happened one time. I might have believed it even though I've learned to be very skeptical of your "facts". But you said it happened "more times than you can tell" and with a Colombiana accompanying you that knows the way. I'm sorry. I call BS.

There are a couple of simple solutions to the problem.

For taxis without meters, like in the DR, you ask the price before you get in the cab. If you don't like the rate, offer less or go to another taxi. I do the same when getting a taxi from the airport into Medellin.

For taxis with meters, when you get in check the meter to be sure it's reset. I've run into this a few times in Medellin. I'll point it out and the driver will reset it. Once the taxi is moving, keep an eye on the meter. If it suddenly jumps, the driver is manipulating the meter.

Some meters run faster than others and you might pay a little more. Usually it's only a dollar or less, not a big deal.

For awhile I was taking 10 taxis or more per week and maybe 1 out of 20 we're trying to cheat me. Most often I was taking the same trips so I knew how much I should be paying. 7400 pesos instead of 6800 pesos never seemed worth ruining my day over.

Cartagena doesn't have meter. Uber is almost non existent, not sure about ID. But I think that is a general problem even if one is alone.
