lol my bad. what I meant was this. I was perspiring and
sweating inside the cab. I told the TD to make it colder as
in air con blasting at full strength, as the air con was not cold
enough, think it was the minimun on.
he flat refused and told me, sorry, go take other cab. I really
farking felt like alighting and take the next cab when he said
that. I also dunno why he flatly refused. I am not the complain
type, as in complain to the taxi company cos of what he said.
could it be yr tone or the way you request? here are some of the
common phrase I heard..
1) "Uncle, increase yr air-con pls!"
2) "Uncle, yr air-con can on higher or not?"
3) "Uncle, sorry ah, can you dun mind sw on yr air-con slightly
colder? I am very hot. later can sw it back to normal. can? thank
you ah... thank you."
4) "Uncle. pai-sey pai-sey. air-con can turn a little bit
colder? I sweating here becos outside was so hot. sorry ah.. thank
you very much..."
can you see the differences?
