Peoples excuses for parking on the friday taxi rank ! today we've had

"But I'm only nipping into that shop for 2 minutes "
"My wife's disabled and I can't find anywhere to park". When asked why he doesn't have a blue badge Oh we are waiting for one. This was a bloke in early 20's driving a battered old Golf GTI
"I can't park outside of the nursery because the markets in the way" of course there is a public car park only 200 yards from the nursery but they would have to pay for that

But the classic had to be when a driver pointed to the signs that say taxi rank................................................................
" you people are impossible how am I expected to be able to read that ! "

I really hate Fridays

Pull up call name of punter out.

Punter looks surprised saying that different punter booked a car first.

I say ok then I will take them instead.

Punter says no that's alright they can wait.

My point is why don't punters just mind their own business.

we get that a lot at Morrisons when our customers get a cab quickly whilst others are waiting ages for the ones that have the freephone " I've been waiting longer wheres my taxi ? " I always ask them who they booked with then sorry they'll be along in half an hour :lol:

'I've been stood waiting 20 mins for you to turn up' - s'funny cos I've been sat 1st turn round the corner for the last half hour and only got the job 3 minutes ago !

'I've been stood here half an hour waiting for you to turn up' - Well you were'nt stood here 25 minutes ago when I first turned up, waited ten minutes for you during which time I sent 5 text alerts saying I was here and then left !

'Why did you drive off ?' - Well I waited nearly ten minutes outside your house, got fed up and left. And its taken another 15 minutes for you to call back and rebook, and then a further 5 minutes after coming back before you got in the car....... 'Well we were'nt ready'.

Panda breeding programmes to save the species all this artificial insemination etc.
Why do people constantly interfere with nature.
There's a reason the pandas don't shag, they're boring they serve no purpose they're tired out let them depart.
