Big rant coming up.............
OK I ‘m waiting in a nice warm shop tonight for my taxi to pick me up and there is one of those people outside that just have to pace up and down when they are on their mobile phone. Why !! So every time he turns past the doors they automatically open and I freeze my bits off. Just as they shut he turns back again.
My taxi arrives I get in and pacing man then asks my taxi driver if he can call for a cab for him as his mobile isn’t working properly. He said he couldn’t do that so being the nice person I am
I called one for him. (well it was a free call ) and with all the pacing he had done he had probably flattened his battery.
Wrong move as my taxi driver then thinks I’m this lovely person and goes on and on about people in this world not wanting to help others and how nice that was of me. And I was his first customer ever so what a nice start for him to find someone so friendly. Anyway we keep chatting on the way to my house and I said as my road is really icy to drop me off at the top of it. He insisted he took me to my door saying I was a special customer and also he wanted to prolong our journey as it had been too short, ok at this point I get a little bit suspicious, and you get the drift, he goes on about wanting to be my friend, and I needed to adopt him, and we could have some fun together, I tried to laugh it off but he then got serious. I said I didn’t need a man friend in my life atm. And tried to pay. He said he didn’t have any change so he would come back to my house later, and perhaps we could have a cup of tea. Errr I don’t think so. He still kept stressing it was only to be a friendship, because I was so lovely, and he didn’t want anything else. Now I certainly don’t look like I was born yesterday, a long way from it actually, and by this point I was ready to leg it, but he still had my tenner in his hand. Luckily I knew this cab company take debit card so I took my money back, paid that way, with him still not wanting me to get out and trying to hold my arm, as I was getting my shopping out from the back he was still trying to convince me. FFS If I want a leg over it won’t be from a taxi driver who I have known for all of 10 minutes.
I know I wanted a ride home, but that isn’t quite what I meant.
This isn’t the first proposition I have had from taxi drivers so nothing new, I felt quite safe though as I had bought a large baguette and would have had no hesitation in using it
