Taxi Driver Online

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.

You could well be sorry you asked

Be prepared for a mail box full of replies.

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.

Too many to think of.

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.

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

It's ok if they tell me at the beginning of the journey and yes their way is always a higher fare

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
