Taxi Driver Online

Laughable to ask for taxi journey tip back



I PICKED up a group of young chaps and girls in the early hours from Fletchers in town.

I won't say where they went, but they'll know who they are.

I dropped one person off who gave me a tidy sum to get his mates home.

When we arrived at the second destination I was asked how much they owed. I told them it was fine; their friend had paid and in fact it left me with £1.25 tip.

They were really pleased, and all but one gave me some extra tips. The one guy, not only didn't pay anything towards the taxi, he wanted the £1.25 change given by his mate.

So basically he wanted to be paid to be taken home.

The moral of the story is 'where would these folks be without taxi drivers working all night?'

Well I'll tell them...... they'd be walking home.

A very amused taxi driver.

I had a similar situation with a punter who was well known to taxi drivers. He used to stand at the station rank, tapping people up for cash, claiming he was short for his train ticket home. He would ask for 80p and invariably they would cough up a quid. He even made the local news for his con as his hit rate was incredible, he seemed to know just who to target.

Anyhoo he jumped into my taxi with a young female one Saturday night and she handed over £15 for her part of the journey home and told me to keep the change. We then carried on to the bold boy’s address a few miles up the road and he wanted to pay what was on the meter. Needless to say, this was a big no, no. The cheeky bar steward even threatened to call the police when I told him he was paying the fare plus the tip, or else.

After a short exchange of words, I jumped into the back and snatched his phone while threatening him with physical violence. I also informed him that I knew who he was and reminded him that I had seen him at the rank, a few days earlier, selling toiletries he had stolen out of Boots the chemist.

Oh and after we sorted out our little misunderstanding, he gave me a nice big tip for my troubles.
Now would you believe it?

I often get the first guy in Multi drop run paying his share and some extra, then the Tight Arses afterwards simply reduce their individual share so as it totals the fare price and then the first Guys intended tip goes..Phoooooooooooshhhhhhhhhhh like the smoke out of a Genies lamp.

Here’s another wee story in a slightly different vain.

I once got bumped by a punter after stopping to get money from the cash machine and he ran off without paying. This guy had very distinctive features and not the kind of face one would forget. Anyhoo about a year later the very same lad drove into a garage with a friend of his that I used to frequent and after a short confrontation and the police getting involved, he still refused to pay up and denied all knowledge of ever being in my taxi.

Needless to say, I was pretty pi**ed off.

However, as luck would have it, a few months later, I was sent for a fare at Black Bo’s in Blackfriars street to pick-up two child care officers and three mentally and physically handicapped young females.

Oh and who was one of the care officers, you guessed it, and the bold boy nearly shi* himself when he seen me sitting waiting to drive him home. Well I never said a word and as we dropped off the last of the three females the head care officer told me that “Craig” would be dropped off last and could I wait until he got back after assisting the last female into her home. As he left the taxi I turned around to face Craig and said, hello Craig, remember me, with an extremely evil look on my face. The first words out of his mouth were “I’m due you some money” and he stuck twenty pounds into my grubby little paw.

Oh I bumped into the same guy on two separate occasions shortly after this event. This was one lucky barsteward, it was almost, and I hate to say it, like someone up there was looking out for him.

I know

What's the chance of bumping into the same guy four times and twice after he's paid up? I actually spoke to him in B&Q with his mother, where he told me he had never done anything like this before and what is more, I believed him.

Honestly, I thought who gets that fu*king lucky?

Grandad,

And once again, the bruised ego comes to the fore. What is it with you and 187ums, you are like two scolded children who desperately need to be noticed? I take it that Mummy and Daddy ignored little Grandad and you never got over it.

I’ll tell you what Grandad, why don’t we talk about your holidays, drivers or vehicles or what you are doing up at the council and why people should take you seriously, even though you are such a t***?

Oh and I bet the people you work beside identify with every word I've ever written about you.You're like a big bairn...

Deary me…

Took a bloke from New Romney to Sandgate (Folkestone) one evening; he was boasting about how he'd not paid the f'ing 'stani driver on the way out (there's no 'stani drivers in our district that I know of), so I got a bit concerned. nyway, got to his "sister's place" and he done a runner, for a £25 fare.

I phoned the mrs who phoned the number who had called to book the car, and told the guy there that I'd be round for the money in 20 minutes or the police would be called. I got round hi place and knocked at the door; the bloke there willingly paid up, didn't want the police involved...there was distinct waft of burnt carpet coming from the place... maybe "herbal cigarette" smell? No wonder he didn't want plod going round!

Students are the best, there's 4 of them in the Taxi and the fare is £24, they hit you with, "how much is that between 4 of us?"

Is it any wonder people block you? You asked a question and I answered it and because I didn't believe you, you get all personal.

No Grandad, you choose not to believe me because you are a petulant little child, who is constantly trying to big himself up to be Grandad the great taxi operator entrepreneur.

Grandad, give yourself a shake ffs, you are supposed to be all grown up not a huffy wee bairn.
