In the military, rank always gives you privileges. The only problem is when your rank isn't high enough to have the responsibility to have a car. Whether your 18 years old or 29, certain ranks (usually people who have been in for 3 years or less) are "ineligible" to get cars.
What does this leave you doing besides complaining? It leaves you spending $4.50 on a taxi to get anywhere. Not is it bad enough that your hard earned money goes to some guy with a dirty baseball cap, but it gets further worse when they don't speak English. Lucky for me, I learned Japanese fast enough to listen to these tarantula's babble about how they like to rip Americans off.
Experience 1 - After a night of partying and falling asleep on the beach, I grab the first taxi I find. His left back door pops open (They are automatic doors), and you get the feeling that your creeping into a cave, just hoping the monster at the end isn't so scary. The second this guy looks at me, I know I just stepped into a bad cave. Without me saying a word, he slams the door and hits his little meter button. $4.50 pops up on the screen like a tennis ball shooting out of those hands free machines. He screeches off down the road, and as I'm grabbing on for dear life I manage to scream "stoppppp!"
This guy looks at me, and yells at me. I'm frustrated at this point, but I'm still polite. I just wanted to get the fuck out of there.
Me - "Ummm... I didn't even tell you where I was going. You're scaring me, I'm going to get the taxi over there".
Cave Monster - "NO! YOU PAY NOW! YOU PAY NOWWWW!"
Me - "Dude, it was 1 meter, how the fuck can you charge me! I didn't even say where I wanted to go!"
Cave Monster - "You no pay? GOOD. I call police, hahaha!"
Not only did this fucking guy laugh at me and try to fuck me over, but he really WAS calling the police. I'm not allowed to get caught, so I pulled for $4.50 in my pocket. I have $1.20. I'm so fucked.
Me - "Mister... you didn't even take me anywhere. Why are you calling the police!"
Cave Monster - "YOU GIVE ME MONEY NOW! Police are on their way!".
I wasn't about to get caught. I threw the $1.20 at him, and popped that automatic door open before he could lock me in. I had one leg out when I get hit with the automatic door and fall to the curb. As I'm down on the fucking street holding my arm, this guy starts trying to back his car up. On top of me. I got up as fast as I could, about 1 second before he would've ran over my hand. I ran as fast as I could out of there, and caught a new taxi home. I did get the guys license plate number though, and I can't wait to see him. I'm going to choke that fucker.

Did it occur to you to call the cops yourself and get the cunt for attempted murder?

You can't really expect to hop into a cab (that you knew beforehand was going to cost $4.50) with $1.20 in your pocket and expect anything good to come of it, especially in another country.

No, I've never been to Japan. They came to to visit our facilities and form partnerships with us and other allied organizations.
It's pretty much my belief that ANYBODY will rip you off, given the chance.

Interesting. In my business dealings with the Japanese at my old company, they were always the model of courtesy and politness.
-----------------------------
Were you in Japan? In places that cater to military? No matter where you go they are out to rip you off.
I have never been out of the airports in Japan but I have been all over Thailand, Indonesia, Maylasia, singapore and Egypt. They all wanted to rip me off but Egypt was far and away, hands down the most underhanded of the lot.
