Got to have a rant.......

My own fault, young lad pi$$ed out of his mind; helped into the car by his mate who gave me more than plenty to cover the fare. Idiot then spewed his ring all over the back of the car. I 'helped' him out of the car but that's me off the road for a Saturday night at the end of a week full of hospital appointments but no income. This job that I love fecking stinks sometimes.

Rant over. Thank you.

He wouldn't have got into my cab!

No way.

If they can't stand on their own two feet and have to be helped into a vehicle, then IMO they're an ambulance job not a taxi ride.

Absolutly.
The ones I realy avoid are the ones where their mates say "He/she will be ok, they never throw up."

never had one in a few years now probably cause I've stopped doing the night shift but all ways look at whoever is getting in to the car and make sure you always have seat covers on at all times my brother is also a taxi driver and he bought a new superb a couple of months ago and i kept telling him to put seat covers on and he learnt the hard way when a drunk was sick on the back seats only is 8th day owning the car fair to say he was gutted as it still had that new car smell in it i hate them to i had a girl in my 1st octavia who was sick into the rear door bin and it took me ages to clean it up if you don't feel well don't get in someone else' s car :-|

If a Punter is inebriated and take him I advise him that Iam obliged to charge £50 if they soil the vehicle inside or out
But more importantly I will F******* kill them if they do! :evil: :evil: :evil:

very lucky man only had 5 in my 34 years of joelataxiing most were minors but the worst one was in a blue sierra this guy was sitting in the front and was sick all over the dash and me chucked him out on the middle of the street and left him there was raging took me 3 hours to clean myself and the car took it to the valet man and the car was good as new and i got that same guy the next week when he was sober and didn't remember me so i did not say anything and put the meter on to tarrif 2 and charged him extra and he did not notice the more expensive ride :D
