The other day my taxi driver pretended he didn't speak English & ignored my desire to take the most efficient driving route. He went down the trafficky street, instead of listening to me, just so he could get a bigger tip. No way sucker!
Who the hell are foreign taxi drivers talking to on their wireless cellphones? I mean seriously! How do they have so many friends? And how can their friends talk to them for hours & hours about nonsense? Are they working two jobs? telemarketing & taxi driving? and how are they talking to people at all hours of the day?
I was just sitting in a taxi cab after approaching my destination & the driver wouldn't stop the meter. "Are you going to stop the meter?" I asked. "Are you paying by credit card?" He responded. "Yes". "Well, you didn't tell me that." Ugh! Do passengers really have to tell you whether or not they are going to use credit cards?! I mean seriously, most of us use credit cards to pay for cab fares these days. We don't have cash & it makes it easier for us to calculate tip. Also, stop making me feel guilty for using a credit card!! I'm sorry you can't get instant satisfaction with cash. Get over it.
"Which route would you like to take ma'am?" uph! First of all, you're the cab driver. If you were doing your job the right way you would know the best route to take. Second of all, stop calling me ma'am!!
Cab Drivers who get mad at you for hailing cabs in the opposite direction of where you're going: rarg! Seriously, I know where I'm going. I live here. But I couldn't find a cab going in the right direction-they're all occupied. Yes, you have to make a U-turn, but big deal! I'm the one paying the extra 20 cents on the meter-not you!
Off-Duty Cabs! Okay the lights on your the side of your top thing reveal that you're "off duty". But what does that mean exactly? You still approach me & tease me with the possibility that you can go where I need to go. If you're done for the day & going home, turn off your lights completely! Don't lead me on...
Don't you just love it when Hamdan Yousuf sees his taxi driver friend & he gets all excited??

WHO ARE THEY TALKING TO?!? It's like all the taxi cab drivers in new york city are planning the demise of the world! No other city has cell-pone drivers! Are they talking to eachother? WHO ARE THEY TALKING TO EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY?
