Hello, I'm working on a brand new television pilot and we're looking for taxi drivers who want to get stories of dreadful passengers off their chests. What winds you up most about your passengers? Have you had many experiences with nightmare passengers? Do you regularly bite your tongue to keep the peace? Well, this is your chance to vent! This is your opportunity to get your own back and tell us what annoys you about them. Perhaps you have some good advice for your customers about how to get the best service from you (and anyone else in the taxi industry) in the future? A London-based TV production company is making a short pilot, which is not going to be broadcast and we would love to hear from you. Your details and stories will be completely confidential. Please email info@luckydaytv.co.uk with a little information about yourself and past experiences and please remember to include your phone number and where you live. |

And those that get chosen, be prepared to have everything twisted to make you look like the bad guy. Seen it happen time and time again with TV people |

Every Saturday night! Come to think of it probably every shift there is at least one nightmare passenger. |

I suspect many drivers would rather not say what they do with the scum.  But the best bet is don't pick them up in the first place, although that does require some experience. |

What annoys me most are parents that can't control their kids, and others who actually think I give a f*** about their personal lives.

I file the Memories of the "Nightmares" to the furthest off corner of my Brain, then a after a few Cerebral De-Frags these Images have gone forever and only the good remain.

"you should have turned left there mate" Nothing winds me up more than folk who think they know the roads better than me |

I don't mind that, Bart, because they're usually telling me to go the long way!!! |

i dont take crap in real life and started taxiing with the same mentality...lifes too short to put up with it the secret is avoid them in the first place really....if i sense anything or dont like the look of it i drive off and you arent getting in,simple i dont give a [edited by admin] if the base like it either occassionally the odd "nightmare" slips through but at the very least they get told,generally im lucky and 99%+ of people in my experience offer no trouble really,i mean if someone is just an a-hole thats a bad personality as long as they arent an a-hole to me i dont care if someone is just annoying as in offering directions etc i just go their way,its their money why do i care which way i get somewhere |
