Minicab Madness


So I call for a minicab to take me somewhere (obviously) and do a pickup on the way... not too difficult right? As I walk towards the car he opens the door to put some rubbish on the floor (and yes leaves it there) Nothing major, everyone is different and not everyone knows that littering is illegal :-/ I confirm my destination and he takes off munching on plum after plum spitting the seeds out of the window! This is where I should have said ' mate, it's cool I'll walk'.


So he's MUNCHING/SPITTING AWAY (nasty eating squelchy sounds) AHH! We arrive early at the pick up and he then tells me he'll charge me extra because he has to wait and when I get back to the car he's on the phone, shouting in his native language and has us sitting there for 5minutes! I know you're thinking, surely you've walked off by this point. I tried the whole patience thing... He drives the car while on the phone and takes me to the wrong destination, BLASTS the radio as if were on a road trip or in a rave, is it my hair that told him I liked ChoiceFM? We nearly crashed at least 6 times and the car wasn't even clean!!! An absolute disaster! 


CAB DRIVERS PLEASE TAKE YOUR JOB SERIOUSLY. If not don't bother please, there are a lot of people out there who are are out of work and would do much better job than you. Driving is not enough, it's a service mate!!


If I had his picture I would have shown the world BEWARE  OF THIS NONSENSE CAB DRIVER!!


It did make me think though, I could be just as slack in my own life, my work or my friendships or whatever. You can really learn a lesson from anything!


Maybe next time it wont be such a nightmare.
