I can't express how much I hate taxi drivers. I'm suprised that with a small place like HK, i'd expect taxi drivers to know where they are going and be able TO DRIVE IN THEIR LANE!!!
Tonight, the first time, i felt scared to be in a taxi. This stupid taxi driver was looking anywhere BUT straight when he was driving. He looked left and right out the window, he looked at the meter, he looked at the air conditioner controls - he was sliding into the right lane! I had to tell him to look forward cos he was going in the other lane. When he drove, the white lane was in between the 2 wheels of the car. I'm serious. He must be blind or have seriously bad night vision. How I wish I could of kicked him off and drove home myself ! Before I got on the cab (realising now that SOME cabs take you to HK Island and others don't) I asked him whether he goes to Quarry Bay. He said "yes" very confidently before I jumped in the cab. I gathered that if he knew how to get to the place I was at - some enclosed bar place in TST, he would know how to get to Quarry Bay. But he didn't. He lied. And since I didn't know the way back, it didn't make things any easier. Thank goodness he got lost and somehow landed on the other side of my street so as soon as I saw my street, i asked if he could stop and let me off. (and of cos, my good memory! hehhee )
The lesson learnt - maybe i should keep a map of my street in my wallet so that I can show the damn taxi drivers next time !!!
** My sincere apologies to those who have family members/friends that are taxi drivers - no offence, but seriously, this one was BAD!!!!
Revolves around a sparkling world of small to big things that happen and love sharing the way I think with the people who are in my life. I believe laughter and eating yummy desserts is the best tool for stress relief.
