Oh man, you won't believe what just happened to me in Turkey. I’m standing at this random taxi stand, right by the side of the road — you know, just trying to catch my Uber like a normal human being. The car pulls up, I reach for the door handle, and outta nowhere I’m swarmed by this little gang of local taxi drivers like it’s some kind of territorial ritual.

One guy blocks the car with his body like we’re in a hostage situation, and another literally tells me, dead serious, “You’re not leaving from here unless it’s with us. No one else drives you from this spot.” Bro. BRO. I’m just standing there with my Uber driver looking helpless, and these dudes are basically LARPing as a cartel for a $10 ride.

The worst part? The Uber guy doesn’t want smoke, so he just drives off while I’m stuck there like a dumbass surrounded by middle-aged Turkish men giving me mafia vibes over a taxi turf war. Welcome to Antalya, I guess.

They don’t even try to hide it, man. Like, zero shame.

It happens in Italy too, taxi drivers used to harrass ubers then the government made a law trying to kill uber, yes taxis are like mafia.

Can't you just order the uber to go to a non-taxi stand and then avoid the seething old men?
