Taxi Drivers I Have Met 1

Certain taxi drivers really get my goat. Some are interesting and friendly while I just want to smash others in the face. I hate it when they're selective and ask you where you're going before they let you in. I get back at them by leaving the taxi door wide open and walking away when they reject me. I heard one guy cursing loudly once when I did that as he leaned over to try and close the door. Suck it.

I also hate it when they start making comments like "Naku, traffic. Mauubos gas ko dito." Or "Naku, ang layo. Walang pasahero pagbalik." A few nights ago, I was in a really bad mood and just told the driver to let me out if it was such a hassle for him. "Ay, malapit na tayo eh." Frack.

Just venting but there are cool taxi drivers like Johntrey who I've actually ridden with twice. The first time, we had a good conversation as he told me that he was trying to fix his his papers to go to Canada. A couple of days later I was flagging down a taxi when another driver sped up in front, veered in front of him and waved at me. And there was Johntrey smiling and telling me to get in. Cool guy.

Dude! You have a goat? Hehe. Kid-ding.

I do the same thing with cab drivers who reject me.

Rock on, Johntrey! Next time, tell him to cruise somewhere in Pasig. Hahah!
