My Taxi Driver stood me up!!!

So it was raining outside today so I took a taxi to bring Coby to school. My short taxi rides drives my English friend, Chailey NUTS. Especially the drives from my house to Starbuck which is really only 1 block away (but a REALLY BIG city block). So I asked (in Chinese) for the driver to please wait as I walked Coby in. Then I realized he needed a new diaper so I changed it rapid speed. Went outside in the light rain and the taxi was gone. Gone. And I hadn't even paid him. I walked down the road and then I spotted him!!! He was letting a Chinese guy in the car who had luggage. That means the airport (most likely) and the airport means big "cha ching" taxi fare of about 150 RMB vs. my 13 - 15 RMB for my round trip. So he stood me up! But he didn't get my fare. I am so surprised that he would do that. But this is China. Things don't always work as I expect them to!
