"Turn the Meter off, I'll see you right" ~ That's all I'm paying you and I'll not give you any more!

If you hear one of those in the back, whistling a wee tune ~ You can be sure that you're about to be bumped!

Anyone else got any other 'triggers'.

People wearing hats. I avoid them like the plague.

Baseball caps especially but anyone wearing any kind of headgear always seems to be trouble.

One way or another. :roll:

Avoid West of Scotland football supporters wae' singalong accents ( specially if they're wearin' red, white & blue). They say, "Wrang" rather than "Wrong" and "Hond" not "Hand".
ie. "The goalie saved it wae' the WRANG HOND"... ????.

Avoid people from Niddrie, they're a bad lot, not all, but some. Oh aye, and that's another thing, the mongs all look the same. :shock:

Some even drive taxis :badgrin: :badgrin:

When punters are carrying a friend saying 'don't worry driver they wont be sick', they actually mean 'if you take us you are a prise mug'. [-X

But one that got me the other Sunday was when the punter asked if I worked weekends. ](*,)

Don't you just love it when the "King" of Google/ Plagirism/cut copy & paste, ( not to mention some Manchester blogs, mouse in the house, and all that [edited by admin]), tells everyone that they don't have any original thoughts........ha ha ha ha ha ha !.

"I got it for £x last time"

True meaning:

"I got it for £1.5x last time." At least.
