Cowboy Caleb Meets The Dumbest Taxi Driver In The World

The little China town I am in used to have hundreds of motorcycle taxi’s. However they got banned due to an massive increase in snatch thievery (a motorcycle would run past a woman and snatch her handbag) and a few of the lucky redundant riders got assigned to drive automobile taxi’s instead.

This is great idea on paper but a terrible idea in practice - mainly because driving a motorcycle does not qualify you to drive a car.

So I was in one of these taxi’s today, and the taxi driver was boasting about how he used to ride a motorcycle. All the while I was cringing in fear due to the horrendously dangerous way he was weaving in and out of traffic.

And then, we came to a traffic jam, but he says “don’t worry, I know a shortcut” and he drives his car onto the sidewalk!!! So instead of driving on the road, he’s driving on the pedestrian sidewalk!

After awhile, he comes to the end of the sidewalk, and there is a huge huge puddle of water there.

I think to myself “No way, he is going to drive into the water”.

But the idiot does.

And the puddle is actually covering a huge deep hole in the road, so the car gets stuck but not before the bottom of the car scrapes the ground with a heartaching “SKREEEKKKK BOOMM BAMMM”.

Then the idiot gets out of the car, jumps into the deep puddle and begins wailing while he inspects the damage.

I sit inside wondering to myself how a person can possibly not realize the reason why the puddle exists in the first place is because there is a HOLE in the ground.

Anyway, by then I had had enough so I give him a couple of bucks and begin to walk instead while I contemplated that there may be no hope for the human race after all.

Haha, how stupid can this driver be! :/

Uggh sucks…how stupid can you be. Hope u didn’t get stuck looking for a new cab.
A cab I was riding to the airport with a boasting, annoying driver was starting to smoke inside and suddenly the dashboard was on fire and we were stuck in the middle of nowhere…cabs and their drivers….

no picture?!

Ok. I thought my got-GPS-still-got-lost-blaming-say-GPS-unit-no-good driver is the dumbest but I think this round you win. Will blog about that soon.

the most recent stupidest one i can remember is this taxi driver who supposed to drop my sis at her apt and then drive me back to mine a few weeks ago.

his taxi ran out of fuel just about 1km away from my sis’ place.

his excuse? fuel gauge broken. fine. then why u agreed to take us anyways! can agak got enuf fuel or not what! cibai babi. in the middle of the nite some more ley!

we took pics of him pushing the taxi though hahaha

There is no, no no no hope for the human race

Well, at least you got to live “dangerously” for a while like Mr Brosnan in the Visa TVC. Hahaha. :P
