Angry Taxi Driver!

Post Reply New Topic

Today I was in a rush too get home so i decided too get a taxi outside the station. The taxi driver who 3 years ago was quite friendly too me since he was my regular taxi driver.... well when i said too him can i have a lift back too the kings road (the road i live on) we both starred at each other for a few seconds and he said in a angry voice "what part of kings road?" "are you sure you know what part of kings road you want too be dropped off at" ? When saying this he growled, gritting his teeth and looked angry. About 3 months ago i got a taxi ride back home with him and although he was not agressive he gave me kind of a funny attitude then as well. On that occasion a few months back i asked him "can i have a lift too kings road" and he responded "i am sorry what did you say?"


Earlier todayu I felt very threatend and confused so i got in the taxi with him and just sat there silently for the 5 minute drive home and did not utter a word too him. Afterwards i was so annoyed i felt like going back too the station and giving him a piece of my mind but i thought that was not a good idea.


If you could guess why do you think he was so agressive towards me? It was only a one off sitatuation that i got a taxi home cause i was in a hurry.

Smile back and do not get angry. He probably has some personal issue. Unless you have done something wrong, but most taxi drivers have a lot of bad passengers and you do not sound like one.

I didn't smile back but as i got in the taxi i did say sorry too the taxi driver.

Do u think i should have been more polite too begin with?

But remember he was nasty too me first. if your intially agressive u cannot always expect people too be smiley and nice back.

Surely the taxi driver must have been risking his job by being agressive too me? I am sure theres a rule saying that you should not be unkind too passengers am i not correct?

Maybe, he had his own problems, but just taking it out on you. Taxi drivers have a hard life, and have to deal with a lot of bad crap. Just pay it no mind.

I don't think taxi drivers are held to any standard of politeness, but he was probably just having a bad day and took it out on you. I wouldn't worry about it. He probably was ugly to a lot of people that day.
