Are you wide to …………Taxi Drivers?

"Listen buddy, I aint going north of the river, this hour of the night"

Aren’t you just sick of them harping on about how tough their jobs are? You cant get into a cab these days without one of them chewing the ear off ya about how hard it is to make a living because of the amount of part-timers stealing their business. Here’s a crazy, off the wall, idea; quit your bitching and get a different job, which will pay the bills and put a cease to your incessant moaning, that only serves to make the general public feel less sympathy towards you. I just want to get to the pub and awkwardly talk to you about how busy it is tonight. Don’t get me involved in a subject that I care little about and in all likelihood will cause me to get out of the car and insist you drive erratically at the nearest black-spot.

What I don’t understand is why they are bitching. Not to be flippant about the subject but why do I constantly keep seeing signs (usually on the back of taxis) stating that they “Need more drivers: Call 086 blah blah blah.” And why is it that I can never get a taxi at 2 o’clock in the morning on a weekend night? I gotta get me babe home while she’s still drunk enough to do that thing we never do. Too much competition me hole! They’re only whinging because the cost of living is going up. Well tough cookies. The rest of the country has to put up with and survive on their wages. We all had it good in the past and no one complained. Now thing are tightening, time to put a squeeze on it. Live with it and stop buying those ivory backscraters. Drive more efficiently and save some cash. Or stop including that meal in between lunch and snack time…..fatty. Less weight in the car means more savings in the pocket. Plus you’ll probably live 10 years longer and die.......... aged 67..
