No
good stories in the last few days, however I have come to realize that there
are things that I’d rather not have passengers doing in my cab. Here they are in no particular order.
1. Singing
in the cab.
2. Asking
my craziest cab story.
3. Going
less than 2 blocks.
4. Being
repeatedly told how to get somewhere once you have acknowledged your passengers
and informed them that you know exactly where their destination is.
5. Try to haggle on the cab fare, or tell me that it was cheaper last time. I’ve driven your
route dozens of times, I probably know within a dollar what it’s going to
cost. Don’t tell me it was cheaper
last time – because it wasn’t.
6. Picking
up smelly beat up bums that smell like a pee cocktail garnished with B.O.
7. Being
constantly asked if it is usually this cold (65 degrees), or told that the
weather is nicer where they came from.
That’s wonderful, I’m sure Detroit is beautiful, why would you ever
leave.
8. Being
asked if you live on the island. Do
you have a $3 map I’ll show you what a peninsula actually looks like. Don’t
know why this sham about calling Cortez an island irritates me so, but it
does.
9. Being
asked if I’m grumpy. I wasn’t
until you spilled you drink and started shouting in my cab. Contrary to what my blog suggests, I'm actually quite friendly. It's no secret, bad news sells...:)
10. Being
asked any question that starts out by shouting “Hey Cabbie!”
