I've gotten this in NYC, too. One driver spent a lot of time talking to someone about signing up for a dating service, then proceeded to tell me about his rotten ex-wife after he got off the call. Another grumbled loudly enough for me to hear when I paid by credit card; apparently the tip I included didn't leave him what he felt he deserved after the bank fees were raked off. At least they don't get lost in NYC; they all have GPS units with a screen in the back that the passenger can see.
