some of the taxi drivers can be quite rude also. i just encountered one when came back from changi airport just now. after boarded the taxi and told him the destination, the driver asked me which expressway i want to take, ecp or pie. since i encountered jams before taking ecp/aye during the same hours, i asked him which way has less congestion. then he impatiently said, raining lar, he cannot guarantee anything cos everywhere will have jam, then he went on and on non stop like i shouldn't ask him such question. so ok, nvm, when he paused for a moment, i told him pie. then he said aiya there was a tree fallen at the airport to pie entrance. then while driving towards the pie entrance he kept pointing at the electronic sign board and said, "you see or not? the sign showed entrance close, you see or not?" in my heart i was thinking, wth, if he already knew then why ask me to choose? just tell me at the beginning we need to take ecp cos pie is closed, then i would have gladly agreed. i was getting a little annoyed about his rude attitude but kept quiet to avoid confrontation. when the taxi passed by the entrance, he kept pointing to the blocked entrance and said: "you see or not? you see or not?" i just kept quiet the whole time, then when about reaching my house, there was a traffic jam and he filtered into the bus lane and signaled left turn before the traffic light to try to avoid the heavy traffic. but to go to my place need to go straight, otherwise it will be a big detour, so i told him we shouldn't turn left but should go straight. then he yelled "now i turned already then u say go straight!". but since that was before he took the turn, he eventually just went straight along the bus lane. and i was a bit stunned. shouldn't i tell him if he is making a wrong turn? ;(
btw the driver's family name is also tan. maybe the same driver? :think: :bsmilie:
