At Middle Road ( opp Fortune Centre Taxi stand ) , i was the 3rd in the Q .
2 Blue comfort crown infront of me .
This Indian lady walk to and fro the taxi stand , i saw her , wondering why she still hesistateto hopinto the 2 taxis . So that i can be 2nd .
The 2 taxis got paxes and went ...
Left me at front of the Q .
Sekali she walk towards my cab , knock onto my window , i opened my window , asked : " Ah why ? "
She asked : " So sorry , i only left with only $10 , can you take me to Bedok Reservoir ? "
I buay song liao : " hello auntie , $10 where got enuf , starting fare oready $7.05 ."
She replied : " The most i give you another $1 ."
I this time really pissed off liao ... she think i beggar knn ?
I sarcastically told her off : " Hello auntie , u better walk to Bugis MRT , take a train to Eunos MRT , then take a taxi to Bedok Reservoir , $10 more than enough . And also , u wait la , after 8pm , more cheaper after peak hour ."
Closed my window and go on listen to my Class 95 FM , read my Strait Times .
Why Indians are like that ?
Young ones also like that , men oso like that , now women also like that ?
last month pickup 3 kukumaniam. They want to go to Mustafa. On reaching there was a jam. They said "ok ,can drop here". (shocking that they said it together) So I stop the meter and wait for fare... When the front vehicle move forward they said abit more, forward again... a bit more..abit more.. Move forward by about one and a half lamp post. WTF Next time when their member say "ok, stop". I will print out the receipt. Want to move forward, can ...I will start the meter. New trip.

This lady knew $10 was not enough to send her home, that's why she apologised, and said "so sorry" to you first. At least,she got courtesy. If you don't agree, just tell her you can't.No need to get so upset or pissed off.
Everyday,so many hours on the road, sure to encounter many happenings. All types of people, all ages, all races, all nationals.
irrespective which national...if there're signs of desperate pleas...i would help...cant tell he/she need to rush home urgently to feed their children or attend their sick parents
maybe lose few $$ maybe get rewards in other ways

If one feel that it doesn't make sense to pick the pax, juz simply leave it and carry on, no need get so work up lah.... Therefore i'm sorry but i have to close this topic.
