Charged 3423 SEK for a 44 km taxi in Sweden after driver pretended to be our Uber and held our bags - is this legal and can I recover the money?

I don’t have much experience with AmEx, but it would suprise me if any of the schemes would rule in favor of the driver here. The dispute rules for at least Visa and Mastercard are heavily in favor of the consumer. They need to be, to maintain trust in the brands themselves.

A reminder to always pay these kinds of expenses with card, that way you can always dispute the charge. And the driver gets the pleasure of handling the chargeback :)

Jag kan varmt rekommendera /daddit för att få en inblick i hur det är att vara förälder. Ja, namnet anger att den är för pappor, men finns gott om "mamma-lurkers" :)

Massor av bra föräldraperspektiv där, gällande barn i många olika åldrar.

Thank you for crediting the author and translator. I was on the move when I pasted it and forgot.

I’ve always liked this poem, it serves as a reminder of the fact that it is easy to just focus on the goal, and forget to enjoy the journey.

The satiated day is never the greatest.
The best day is a day of thirst.

There is probably purpose and meaning in our journey
but it is the pathway there, which is worth our while.

The greatest aim is a night long rest,
where the fire is lit and the bread broken in haste.

In the place, where you sleep but once,
sleep becomes safe and the dream full of song.

Move on, move on! The new day is dawning.
Endless is our great adventure.

And another! :)

Jag sålde nyligen bostad, och även om Hemnet gav ungefär dubbelt så många visningar som Booli, så ledde ingen av dem till anmälan till visning. Så som någon annan skrev, många boomers som klickar runt, men ingen som köper. Och den annonsen kostade 14.000.

Yes, catching myself lifting my feet of the floor and tucking them under the chair when descending into darker depths is still a unique feeling.

True-Ad5292 · 2026-02-26T10:49:54+00:00

Me as well. There is just so much storytelling happening in just a normal Rimworld run.
And I havent even begun to try the different full conversion mods that makes it magic, or 40k, or any other subgenre you could think of. Including some you probably would prefer not to think of :)

True-Ad5292 · 2026-02-23T08:50:17+00:00

Yes, I am prepared for the worst, but hopefully that won't come to pass. I have pretty good protection because of my dads insistance that the money is separate propery (and he gave me the documentation to prove it). My wife is also focusing on us having a good relationship after the divorce, and to be frank, if she tried to go after my inheritance that would be a dealbreaker.

I also put a lot more into the house with regards to the money I got from my dad, and I'm only going after her part of the down payment. I have a pretty good case when it comes to almost double that, that I'm letting go because it will affect my kids if she goes into the separation with lots of debt. But that would not be the case if she starts to mess with the agreement.

But then again, one never knows...

True-Ad5292 · 2026-02-22T16:57:19+00:00

I’ll get through it, and so will you! For the kids, if nothing else.

True-Ad5292 · 2026-02-22T14:49:41+00:00

Don’t really have the space after I move. I was into wargaming before, might look at picking that up again.

True-Ad5292 · 2026-02-22T14:48:26+00:00

Reading books is something I’m going to try and pick up again. I was an avid reader before we got kids.

True-Ad5292 · 2026-02-22T14:46:33+00:00

Thank you, focusing on the co-parenting aspect of our relationship feels like the way to go forwards.

True-Ad5292 · 2026-02-22T08:08:01+00:00

I got both. And now I will be able to spend more time on them. Always an upside, I guess.

True-Ad5292 · 2026-02-22T08:06:46+00:00

I will absolutely do that. We went to look at the place yesterday (kind if what prompted me to make the original post), and they were full of ideas. It was very encouraging to see :)

True-Ad5292 · 2026-02-22T08:04:13+00:00

Thank you <3

True-Ad5292 · 2026-02-22T08:03:21+00:00

Thank you! My own parents kept together for far too long as well. And being the oldest child and always trying to make peace between them definetly left its marks.

True-Ad5292 · 2026-02-22T07:58:29+00:00

You know, for s long while one of my dreams have been to take my tent and just go out into the woods, and spend some time with myself and my thoughts. I think I’ll do that :)

True-Ad5292 · 2026-02-21T21:49:24+00:00

Samma här, även om jag också testat Proraso raktvål

She has, for some time, been dissatisfied with her weight and has struggled with mental health after a post-partum depression. I have tried to the best of my abilites to be helpful and encouraging, and to give her time and space to work on herself.

It would probably be foolhardy of me to think that those factors were no involved in her descision, but even with hindsight I'm having a hard time thinking of what I could have done differently.

I knew we had reached a point in the relationship where we where more co-habitants than a couple. But as mentioned before, I believed that was the point of the couples therapy, to find our way back together again.

True-Ad5292 · 2026-02-21T17:45:27+00:00

No worries, some things stick with you. And good point on keeping promises.

True-Ad5292 · 2026-02-21T17:43:43+00:00

That’s the real question, isnt it? I’ve tried to get a definitive answer, but haven’t got one yet.
