When they all climb in through one door and climb over the seats!.
When they say "go down there" and point, when they are sat behind you!.

Years ago they used to do that with Lorries after you had been unloaded so the driver is clear of load and can set off,, they must be all ex lorry unloaders

People who say to you "do you know where that is" numerous times, when you have already set off

People who give you a note and say keep the change, as you are offering the change and takes it off you.

people who open the front door wave and then expect you to wait 20 mins cos they aint ready

people who ring for a cab then wait until it arrives before asking for the bill in the resteraunt


the best bit is when they get in and look at the metter and almost have a heart attack :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

i remember one job when the bloke got in the metter was at £18ish god i still smile when i think of that look on his face and after all time is money mind you he did not have a smile when he paid me double what the fare should have been if he had got in when i told him i was there . :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

i also love people who insist on directing you as most of them take you the long way round and they think that they are saving themselfs money by taking you the short way woooooooooooooooooops :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

people who say "£2 so and so already, looking at the meter, your having a laugh, start it at zero,, so I say, well get out then and find a cab that starts at zero, [edited by admin] me they have spent how much in the pub, the pub has fleeced them, the night club has also big style, the kebab man has done his bit, they come to the taxi and want it for nowt or cheap. and there's us at the lower end of the scale

People who get to their destination and see £4.30 on the meter and say "how about 4 quid for cash"!!! I only work in f##kin cash, fools!!!

Tight arses, where you have 5 youngsters, usually lads, £3.80 you say, they say "c'mon guys, quids in" 4 guys get out and the 1 left paying hands over 4 of the coins he's been given and still waits for the 20p :x

Later in the evenin when you do a fare half the rank has turned down because "it's too far", the punter jumps in real appreciative, thanks drives and all that, you get the other end and it's £14.90 and they hand over £15 and wait for the 10p :x :x :x

People who jump in, say their destination, off you go, just before reaching the destination they say "ye drives, just left here" well it's blatently obvious I know where it is otherwise I'd be somewhere else, numpties. :shock:

Ah, I could continue indefinately with these. :lol:
