The first has always been a problem. The latter is just happening more frequently these days, even when I am speaking to the driver in Thai.
Of the tens of thousands of official complaints made by Thais to the DLT, refusing to go to a destination is the number one complaint. Refusing to use the meter is usually #3 or #4 on the lists I've seen published.

After the police, I'd say taxi drivers are probably hated most?
