I could tell you some stories from my 15 yrs as a cabbie, from a Formula 1 driver to well known Aussies internationally that think their $hit don't stink. All of them a$$holes to the max. Not into typing but here we go with one local. Get a maxi-job at an address that I remember for bad reasons. Lets call him Mr Far Quit who lives in a real flash house up in the hills on a long shared driveway. Picked up this mob up a few times before (driving the maxi) and Mr Quit would always take the mickey out of the me in a very disrespectful way (for no reason) except maybe for his name, and was well known amongst the maxi taxi drivers for doing so. Load 'em up and off we go to the hob nobs restaurant. 500 metres down the road and Mr Quit starts, so when we get about 2 klms further down the road to a set of lights where I can do a u-turn, I do the u-turn while turning off the meter. Everyone arcs up and wants to know where I'm going. I say back to where I picked them up because I refuse to be spoken to by Mr Quit in such a manner and that this wasn't the first time it had happened. Mrs Quit then then fires up at Mr Quit in the most sensational way with fists included. Everyone else is dead quiet. When she settles down, I call base and explain the situation and advise that they don't send another maxi to that address. The girls at base know who the better drivers are and they accept our word the majority of the time. I get them to the under cover driver and they all get out without any argument, while I say cordially to enjoy their evening. There's lots of rules and regs with cabs and I made sure I did everything according to the book. But it doesn't end there. At about 1 in the morning I get a maxi job at the hob nobs restaurant for a Mr Quit. GOLD!!!!! I pull up out the front and hit the central locking with the passenger window down about 6 inches. Out staggers Mr Quit and his crew who are all well and truly tanked by now. When they are trying to open the doors I call out to them "remember me!!!!" and drive off. Get around the corner and call up base and explain the situation and that the are all way too intoxicated to travel by cab and that they need to sober up before calling again. Girl is obviously trying not to burst out laughing as everything is recorded. Never ever heard anything about it again. Hope that makes someone else happy is it did for me on that night. The End.
