guess what paramedics have to put up with and they are trying to save lives... Cheesy

Cabbies also put up with and are bashed by drunks too.....but Hird was not drunk when he forgot his manners, i.e. ~ was rude.

everyone can see your comments for what they are... a cheap shot from an Rsole who runs a "Bitch Brothel"...

bloody idiot... Angry

I dunno, I think even with the low standards this place has fallen to that is just pure abuse.

That would mean I care about The Mechanic’s opinion. . .but standards have fallen.

Ahahaha I thought The Mechanic stuffed up quoting/replying to a post, I was right and he has now fixed it!

very noticable how you havent answered my reply to you regarding James Hird... Roll Eyes

however you are a business....you earn your money giving people a service.....of course its your cab you can ask peoplenotto eat or drink or get up to other stuff..

but you would need to put a sign up outside your cab about using the back seat like it was an "office" because this miserable driver wont have a bar of it..

whats the betting you havent got a sign up aussie???

your cab your rules.. I love it..

Who needs a sign to ask that manners, a Mother normally teaches anyone when they are a kid, apply ~ even in Cabs.

\

You really are a pitiful excuse. Its also manners to shower, smell good. actually speak English and know how to drive. Many taxi drivers fail that. and you... based on posts here, who in their right mind would want to talk to you anyhow?

BS. If I am in a taxi and I need to make or receive a call, I will never ask 'permission'. I am the paying customer, not a guest. And in this day and age making a discreet phone call is a big nothing to anyone at all. Except you.

You just dont like being ignored - which is YOUR problem. If you wanted to be considered then you should have tried a real profession.

If your conduct is distracting me, placing your safety, the safety of others, and my safety at risk, I'll tell you to desist and if your don't, you'll be on the side of the road quick smart.

When you get in a Cab, don't leave your manners on the footpath.

aussie taxi drivers attack and rape their passengers as well....

but of course most people know its only a few..

James wasnt rude he was using a service and I dont think its nice you talk about him like this...he has been going through this demonising for years and now hes a broken man...and you are being extremely petty about someone using a phone in the back of your cab as if its an office..

as I have tried to say this isnt about you and your cab and the manners you expect your passengers to have...

I am sure he paid for your service and thats really all you have worry about..

if he tried to get out of paying I would be on your side..

but in this case you have tickets on yourself..

Aussie's problem is that he thinks he is being IGNORED as a taxi driver when, in fact, he OWNS the taxi and should get proper "consideration" .... "celebs" are ignoring him ... boo hoo.

Perhaps put up a sign in your Taxi, Aussie ... "I OWN several Taxis and they cost me $250,000 each" .... or something. Roll Eyes

Then you might get some feedback about YOU being a REAL dick. Grin

No. It was not me who introduced drunks into the discussion.

"Generally"

cabbies to a great job and have got put up with a lot of rsoles..

a busy person who has to make a few calls while driving from a to b is the least of their problems..

the community seems to be getting more aggressive and violent .. and that is a worry for people who work in the public transport industry..

you also get rouge cabbies who do illegal things..

but they are a minority and should not be generalised about...

......

however... I will generalise about one thing..

and thats the Cabbies standard of dress..

most of them dress like slobs (around here and other places)

I was down in Geelong a couple of weeks back and I thought a homeless person was trying to get a lift in one of the cabs near where we were shopping,

turns out.. '

he was the Cab Driver... Shocked

and thew other cabbies were't much better..

and they all smoke and stink...

"All?"

Cabbies will tell you pretty much the same thing about quite a few of our customers.

There are even these types:

Huge woman, morbidly obese, is currently likely to be black balled here by the local Cabbies, because TWICE now, in recent weeks, when she got in the Cab, she stank like a toilet, and after she left, the evidence she was using the Cab as one was on the seat she occupied.

Simple manners is all I ask for.
