Everytime I'm in Manhattan, I always hope that you are the one behind the wheel as I hail a taxi down. Also, because of your honesty, I've been really good to the hacks at the wheel.

You should give that some more thought, if you're seriously looking for adventure.

What I want to do for the customer is give them a safe ride via the most efficient route, and be has helpful along the way as I can.<BR/><BR/>What I don't want is to put up with any crap from a person in my backseat who feels they have the right to dump on me because I'm "just a a cabdriver," or, as one nincompoop put it, "Well, I'm paying you!"<BR/><BR/>Yes, you are paying me - for the ride. If you want to dump on me, you need to pay extra. Lots and lots extra, because I don't sell my dignity cheaply.<BR/><BR/>Get in my cab, and believe me, I'll do the very best I can to earn your respect and good will.<BR/><BR/>But, if you want me to respect you as a customer, then you need to treat me as an individual, without any preconceived notions, biases, or reations to the problems in your own life.<BR/><BR/>Cabbies: did your last customer stiff you? FIDO - "F--- it, drive on!" and do the best you can for your next fare. And the next, ad infinitum.<BR/><BR/>Customers: was your last driver a jerk? Don't take it out on your next one.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/><BR/>The Cab Guy<BR/>www.RoadRageTaxiTales.blogspot.comRonald Matthew Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04642207180941330043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914028.post-25933083826920966832007-10-24T23:59:00.000-04:002007-10-24T23:59:00.000-04:00I really hope that the end I feel coming to this b...I really hope that the end I feel coming to this blog is not so. First and foremost, I have to say that it has been great and entertaining, entertainingly written and compelling.<BR/><BR/>Secondly...I beg to differ that this blog "doesn't pay the bills". If it weren't for the blog, you may not have had the opportunity to pen your book. And without the blog, you likely wouldn't have near the built-in fan and readership base your book now has. So, indirectly, it does actually pay the bills. It is for that reason, and hopefully your enjoyment of entertianing those of us in cyberspace that have come to regard you as a comrade, that you'll continue to devote time to this effort.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914028.post-27239246436408052742007-10-23T08:49:00.000-04:002007-10-23T08:49:00.000-04:00I promise to never quiz taxi drivers anymore.
