Taxi Drivers/Cab Drivers

The angriest people on earth.

Usually chiselling fatties as well, who prey on old people.

And what happens at Christmas time, the season of good will? They bump their prices up! Fuckers.

I honestly think I prefer Traffic Wardens to these cretins

they can be pretty intimidating/scary/thieving/irritating. and there's nothing quite like getting into a vehicle driven by a total stranger, under any circumstances smile but, i've met some really nice drivers too

Angriest? No.

Creepiest? Yes. I used to ask them to drop me off at the closest 7/11 to my place because I didn't want them to know where I lived.

The ones I rode in, in NYC haven't been too bad. Sure I've had some crazy angry ones, but I've also had some that liked to carry on conversations and would discuss their families with me.

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

I live in Scotland, the taxi drivers in our city seem to be cheery fuckers.

When i was in Crete for a holiday years ago the taxi drivers were psycho bastards, overtaking on hair pin bends and shit. And all of them were leering and drooling over my girlfriend, i told one greasy fucker to stop staring at my girlfriend and he/it dumped us on a dusty road in a bad mood.

We hired bikes after that.

Although this is the land of Mercedes, Audi, and BMW, the cities here are completely dependent on subways and taxis to function. Cab drivers are friendly, personable, and sometimes even cute lurking . Every now and again you might even be lucky to get one with good taste in music, and they give good cd reccomendations. lol Drivers are too much a part of the character and fabric of the city to be assanine here.

Taxi drivers got threatened by clients on a regular basis in Paris confused (occupational hazard?)

Is there any place of refuge one can flee from this insanity
