14 Reasons Taxi Drivers Hate You

5. You're Incomprehensible Taxi Driver

As an exercise in empathy, please try the following experiment.... Find a willing friend and after quickly spinning them around for about five minutes, fill their mouth with fur-covered marbles. Then ask them to tell you their address and see if you can understand what they say. Need a translator? That's how drivers feel when you collapse into their cab at 4am and mumble your destination at your shoes. Do yourself a favour and get a stash of those idiot cards. You know the ones, they say something like: "Dear Mr Taxi Driver, I'm incredibly sorry but I'm extremely drunk and therefore unable to communicate sensibly with you. Please take me home to 47 Reynolds Street."
