Originally posted by f1taxidriver:Yesterday another handsome well dressed young man got a fucking session from me at the top of my voice. After going from neil road to orchard tower, he say not enough change, ask for nets payment. I say only ezlink and credit card. He say ezlink no enough money and no credit card. So ask him go ATM and get some money. He say cannot charge for waiting time because its NOT HIS FAULT that my taxi got NO NETS. So I shouted at the top of my voice in orchard tower taxi stand, kept screaming till he took out credit card and paid. So he lied about no credit card like I thought. If fucker dare to run, me uncle will chase, shove him down the footpath and call police. I am ruthless with assholes who got money to dress well, fuck around, talk like big fuck but ask for discounts for cab fare.
Later saw a chrysler taxi and let off my steam with him. He told me he kenna this kind of cheebye pax everyday. Almost everyday got people saw taxi bill and dont want to pay. Almost everyday also must call police. Almost all troublemakers are Singaporeans. The bangladeshis and chinese foreign blue collar workers never give this chrysler uncle any trouble.
Let me start by saying, this discussion has been eye opening. It's damned interesting. I'm an "Ang moh" who lives in Sembawang. I always tip extra, because I know taxi driving is a thankless job sometimes, and giving someone the change or an extra $2 on a short trip isn't going to break my bank.
On that note, I think you should calm down a bit f1. I'm sure you have some asshole customers, but your attitude of "if I'm cheated I'll die to fight blah blah blah" is a little dramatic. To be honest, you come off like such an asshole, that I feel like every TD I meet is going to be you, and I wouldn't want to give him shit. Stop being such a hardass.
Aside from that, I appreciate what you guys do. Without you guys, I'd be lost half of the time, or sitting at home bored out of my mind.

YES AND I WILL SAY THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN TILL SOME OF YOU GET THE POINT.
Argyle,
For a start, almost all passengers are either neutral or nice. But once a month or twice a month if I am lucky, I get to fetch some cheats who are well heeled, well dressed and got a foreign education. Its one thing to have a destitute asking for a discount, and another thing to have passengers living in nice condos in good locations and still asking for a discount. I go completely insane when the passenger tells me he or she is richer than me and can certainly afford the taxi fare, but just too bad he or she did not bring enough money to pay the fare, and that they got no credit cards. They all got some drinks and maybe the alcohol impaired their judgement. I dont know. But it does not matter, if they can afford to party then they should be able to pay in full for a cab ride.

Hi Argyle, your comments really motivated me. Yes, only occasionally, I got paxs who said good words like thanks for the smooth and safe drive...or simply thanks for taking us back. But most paxs take Taxi with a face like as tho TD owed them something, no thanks, no tips and certainly no smile. Talking about gracious, we are still far from it.

Bloody hell, live condo also want to ask for discount, how can?? those living in 3 and 2 rooms more steady, paid full fare one..and also nice to talk with them. Sometime, I took paxs like mother with childrens living in HDB 2 or 3 rooms, and father working in factory or as lorry drivers, I give them discount, cos I see them like my family. It is only the poor understand the poor.
Walan , many lor ...... this is how the rich gets richer , by squeezing every cents out possible , out of anyone , anywhere . Phui big time .
Ah Nehs is nasty , talk very loud , but they dun ask for discount .
When some asked for discount , i will said : " If u take MRT , $0.10 less u have to get out one station earlier . Bus also , bus conductor will chase you out ."
Now taxi bring you to the door step , u asking for discount ?

Last time i'm pretty ok with "white" ah nehs. After started driving, i realised they are currently my top -PHUI list. Act classy, but damn bloody stingy. Keep thinking you are taking them a longer route.
Sat night, kena 4 "white" ah nehs. Boat Quay to St George. I took CTE, exit Moulmein. That fellow sitting beside me ask me
How come it takes so long? Usually the journey is very short.
Me replied : Sir, is raining heavily now. U want fast, maybe you take rocket faster.
He keep quiet. A few moments later, he said, you know where is St George? Block 2 ?
Me replied : Sir, i know where is St George but i don't where is the block, maybe you can show me later.
He keep quiet. Next moment, he says go straight go straight I replied him loudly, Sir, in front red light. I have to slow down and stop !!!
Inside my heart phui x100.
oh yeah, white ah neys are very tricky, once i told a couple, the guy wanted to view my taxi receipt book, i asked why, he said he pay me if I can give him some, so that he can claim from his company...wha lau, cheating lor, I said no to him, then he call me stupid, dunno how to make money. I dropped them at ECP, take the fare and phui at them.
