A few times as a kid I had to take a taxi alone. I knew the way home, but the driver decided to make a lot of unnecessary turns and go this round about way to run up the fair. I was probably in 3rd grade and knew what he was doing but didn’t have the guts to call him out.
Would be epic for a third-grader to loudly firmly vociferate a taxi driver back into shape
You kiss your mother with that mouth?
My mom’s dead but if she was alive I’m sure she’d be proud of my vocabulary. Anyway my parents & I have never been on kissing terms so no.
Ha ha this happened when I took a taxi to the railway station, leaving Paris after 10 years. It was quite nice to get the “tourist” route early in the morning so I rolled with it :-)
“Sorry, sir. No tip because you kept getting lost.”
Why would you pay a tip to the taxi driver? They are usually self-employed.
Wait what?
Your culture doesn’t tip taxi drivers?
I constantly felt like if I didn’t tip the taxi driver, he’d drive in reverse and tell me to fuck off. Because yes they were that kind of asshole.
Because the last time I took a taxi was when I was 10 and that’s how I was raised.
That varies wildly depending on city, county, state, and (I’m guessing) country requirements. I drove for a few years in a small-ish city, and neither me nor anyone I ran into at the usual spots were self-employed. We all worked for one of two cab companies, making hourly wages plus tip.
Is that why you turned to drinking, Mr. Duffman?
Everyone has stories like this.
