It was you who made the comment about people, nay APES...who used their phones. I then reminded you of the incident in my Cab and you have been unraveling since then.

Grin

oh so APES means CAB DRIVERS NOW>..

what a dill you are.. go away..

go and abuse a customer for using the back of your cab like an office instead of speaking to you.... Angry

No....according to you, cods, a person using their mobile phone is an APE.

Cheesy

I think what Cods meant is that all depends on the situation.

For example, when someone is walking down the street eyes glued to their device and causing pedestrian collisions, they're an ape.

When you're in a situation where you can reasonably expect the attention of someone and they're paying more attention to the phone than the person in front of you, they're an ape.

When you're in a taxi, the driver has no right to make any claims on your time other than communications about your destination.

Thus if the taxi driver has issues with a passenger being on the phone, the taxi driver is the ape....and most are.

Did I just about cover that, Cods?

14.

The number of times in 2017 I adjusted my path only slightly so someone would plow into me and drop all their schitt because they were staring at a screen instead of their own path.

Aiming for 30+ total this year.

I ram into them now especially when they are walking 2, 3 or 4 abreast.

Hey, I thought of you while I was having a shower yesterday.

no pet aussie is the forum seerer he can read fortunes and minds...he knows exactly what every one is thinking and or means when they post...

I dont even know what hes talking about.. I do know what he said about James Hird though he is now denying he whingeing and bellyached.. like a big baby..

I dislike people like that and he does it all the time denies denies denies.....

ye has no problems bringing up something others =have done..that he disapproves of.....

he is so one dimensional...all he focuses on is himself..

its all ABOUT MEEEEEEEE.....

why I am even bothering I dont know....so once again I am bowing out and let him rage to his hearts content...

I usually go the other way when I see him posting...

whatever was I thinking this morning..

Former Essendon player and coach James Hird has reportedly been taken to hospital in a major health scare.

Hird is said to have been taken to Cabrini Hospital last night before being transferred elsewhere.

Other news links say it was a deliberate poison overdose.

I dunno whether to feel sorry or otherwise for this bloke. I had him as the sole passenger in the cab some years ago, after he retired from playing.

He was constantly on the mobile and the discussion seemed all high flying business deals going on in which he was the centre of success.

Pretty rude of him actually.

Quote:

but someone doesnt wish to talk to the driver..REALLY!!!!!

sorry mate that sounds like someone with tickets on themselves....

Cods, can you show me where I said anything about about my having a need or wish that Hird talk to me?

Quote:

the back seat IS an office as if the tax driver were not there - because he isnt.

Fact is....he is, and it is rude to not excuse yourself while you are in his Cab with a simple polite, "Apologies, mate, I need to take/make this call

is that enough for now there are more...?????

you really didnt want him to talk to you did you.... Roll Eyes

nah you dont have tickets on yourself... Cheesy

It would be courteous, according to my deceased parents. Contrary to belief, including that of the ignoramus in this Thread, a Cab is not where you get to do what you please. You are entitled to be taken safely, expeditiously and without aggravation from A to B, and nothing else. In all other respects, the Cabbie decides the circumstances in which that occurs. If you don't like that, ask him to stop, pay the meter, and get out.

Simple as that.

Cool
