have had some pretty random and scary customers a couple of times.
stories pls
Ok so started out as a Taxi noob in August and since then i have been threatend twice.
First occasion i got sent to an address out of our area but as i was near and the office took the booking and was coming back into town so would of been a nice job.
I rocked up about 6.20pm 10 mins early for the booking so i beeped and out came the guy. He said not booked till half past he was getting some stuff together could i give him 10 minutes. I said yea ok. Got to about 6.35 so i beeped again. Got to 6.40 and im not very patient at the best of times so i went to knock on door.
His girlfriends dad answers and i ask if hes gonna be long. Said id been here 20 mins etc and was gonna start charging a waiting time. So i get on radio and they tell me hes pissed off and phoned up and cancelled so he comes bounding out of the house upto the car saying hes gonna smack me up if i dont piss off.
So i sling my hook and having wasted 40 mins of my time i was pretty pissed off as i could of been making monay back in town.
Another occasion i pulled upto a pub late on a Sat night and this kids wandering about stumbling all over and asks who im for. I say i dont think its u mate (cos i had a girls name booked) he starts chasing my car as im pulling upto the pub. Anyway his mum comes out whos taxi it was for and apologies for him being drunk. He then says summet to his Dad who comes bounding over to my window who who tells me to sling my hook before he paggers my face in.
Last week had 2 guys get in and instantly had a bad feeling. Cos when ur out of town and its two on one you never know if there gonna jump you or not. Anyway nothing happened and i got paid so all was well.
Upto press i havnt had any runners.
Do taxi drivers get offered sexual favours i hear you say?
