Taxi Drivers

[ICanDressMyself]

Why are they all idiots?

Strangest thing just happened to me. Answered the door to find some old man standing about 2 metres away from the door. I asked how I could help him and he just stood there, looking blankly at me. I said umm excuse me what do you want? And he just walked off I went out and saw there was a cab parked in the driveway.. I said I didn't order a cab and he talked back and said "Yes you did, this is the address, don't lie, ****wit" Walked up to him and shoved him out my front gate and got his taxi number & have reported his arse What a miserable old prick

Why is it that 50% of cab drivers are complete tossers? It was only yesterday that I was catching a cab from AAMI stadium to town and my cab free was $25.10 but I only had $25. He wouldn't let me get away with it so I had to ask some dude on the street for 10 cents ... I'm sure that 10 cents went a long way, what a tossbag.

I agree with you but the thing that annoys me is most of them think the road rules do not apply to them. They think they can stop when they want, queue across intersections, make illegal turns, and run red lights.

I was offered weed by a taxi driver a few weeks ago. He was alright.

I was in a taxi that went through a red the other night. The camera flashes us and that driver went mental! Was funny

When I landed in Brisbane last week I had been given a taxi charge to get to the apartment complex and the taxi driver decided he would go on a detour, racking up the bill and wasting 30 minutes of my life.

I was in a cab going to score one night and when the driver found out what we were doing he let us of the fare if we gave him some.

Not a fan of the ones who try to agree on a ridiculously inflated price instead of running the meter, knowing you've had a few too many.

smelly moofties!!

 

[carntheroos4eva]

Why don't people like you learn to respect other people? For example you get into a cab and you sit there and abuse them like it's nobody's business. I reckon the next time you get into a cab and you abuse the guy he will probably kick you out of his cab straight away for your stupid behaviour.
Disrespectful idiot.

Sooo, where did you get this taxi?

Most taxi drivers I've had have been pretty good. I haven't had any bad experiences bar one driver who tried to take me out for coffee or come back to my place. He wouldn't let me out of the cab for awhile (by that I meant he kept asking me stuff and wouldn't just let me pay), but eventually I threw some money at him and got out. At least I got a few dollars off the fare...

Oh, and the idiot who pulled up beside me while I was waiting for a tram, in broad daylight and surrounded by people, and asked if he could drive me somewhere.

One day fly into Melbourne, get in a cab, give him the address and he asked for directions.
















It was Collins st

I had a taxi dirver a couple of years ago - he seemed all right we had a chat about a few things he told me he was from Lahore. I made the mistake of mentioning Imran Khan...I was subjected to a tirade about how corrupt Pakastani cricket was and about how he (the taxi driver) should be playing for Pakistan but (in his words) "the ****ters in charge wouldn't pick him" and it went on. We eventually pulled up at my house I paid the fare and it kept going. we sat in my drive way for about five minutes with him spewing about the Pakistan cricket board. Absolute freak.

Was this in Melbourne? I think I've had the same driver-really nice guy until we started talking cricket and bang he turned into a snarling monster going on about the Pakistani Cricket Board.

they refuse to give me a lift home from northbridge because i live too close, its a pain in the ass really.
Also one didnt let my brother and his mate in and apparently called them coons and drive off

I've never had a problem with one whilst in the cab, they've all been rather nice. But whilst driving, they are all psychos. Driving home one night and a maxicab was behind me for basically the whole trip, I don't know if he was following me to be a smartass or it was purely coincidental. Anyway got close to home, single lane road. I was doing the speed limit, slightly over. He decided he was going to tailgate me. After a while he put his high beams on and started flashing me while tooting his horn. My bro and I proceeded to give him the finger and slowed down to 40 just to piss him off. Soon as it went back to double lane he overtakes me and does about 100 in 60. Total w***er.

Taxi drivers in my part of the world are great. Very chatty and friendly and have a general idea of their way around town which is sprawling all over the place as I type. A friend from Melbourne was up here last year for a holiday and she reckons they should move to Melbourne and teach the taxi drivers there some manners.

One of my dear old uncles (RIP) had been a taxi driver in Sydney when they had to learn their way around and do tests to get the taxi licence. He'd be spinning in his grave if he knew how some drivers are totally clueless of major destinations in Melbourne and Sydney now.

Met a few ones that were legends, but met a few that were real f#$kh#$ds. Suppose they have too put up with a bit of crap with their job at times.

True, but it doesn't give them the excuse to carry on like knobs when you want to go somewhere that's out of their way.

If any other worker in any other job refused to do what they were asked to, they'd be out on their arse within seconds.

Good Taxi drivers don't come along often. Most just yap away on their hands frees like no one else is in the car.

 

[La Vache]

Have twice rode my bike into a taxi's doors that have opened in front of me on St Kilda Road. Both on wet days. Just about knocked the door off once - the secret is to bail from the bike and crash into the door with your side, arms tucked in.
