Did you get the cab number or license plate and call the company to complain??

While I've never had an experience as bad as yours, all of my worst cab experiences have been in Chicago. Rude drivers who leave the radio on and yak on their cell phones the whole way, drivers who don't know where they're going and get lost, smelly cabs, and plastic barriers between the driver and passenger seats that block the air conditioning and turn the cab into an oven in the summer...

For these reasons I now refuse to take a cab in Chicago for anything other than a 5-10 minute ride. I reserve limos for all my trips to/from the airport and any other long-ish drive.
