Cabbies at 7am

Some cabbies just pissed ppl off!

Have u meet cabbies who are rude nad reckless on the road?

What are those who drives exceptionally slow when u are very late?

Or those who "purposely" go that "extra mile" for you to pay more?

Well.. There are really so many black sheeps around within the cab drivers in Singapore. Just this morning I was kinda pissed off by this cab driver from the company with the blue cabs. This was what happened.

I decided to take a cab to school this morning instead of taking the bus becos of the drizzle. So I went to the main road and waited for a cab at 650am. By right, if I am able to get a cab in time, I will reach school at 705am.. And usually for the stretch of road, it is quite fast to get a cab.

I was waiting beside the road near a junction turning to a carpark. So at about 655am a cab came from the opposite side and I flagged. It decided to make an U turn for me. It was waiting to turn to my side of the road but the traffic was really heavy. In the end, the cabby decided to turn into the next carpark. I supposed it want to make a turn inside the car park so that it was able to pick me up on my side of the road.

Happy.

So I waited.

And waited.

And waited.

But it did not turn out. And it was close to 7am soon, which means I have to pay $2 more for the surcharge.

I was envious to get into a ab by 7am so that I dun have to pay that $2! But the cabby didnt turn out aft a long wait. Luckily, another cab came by so I decided to flagged for it instead.

659am. I managed to hop on before 7am.

So I turned around and saw the cab finally wanting to turn out.

Too late! I was too pissed.

How can cabby do this just to earn that $2? I am disappointed la..

Not only was I almost late for school but I came in feeling so pissed of with the cabby.

So sickening that I didnt manage to catch the car plate no. If not, I am sure to lodge a complaint. I dun care if he is the sole breadwinner trying to earn a living out of driving cab. But it is really not ethical to do that. Hope that man is not one of my friends' parent..
