i turn a corner and theres a Chinese looking (not China looking)
man walking up to the front, long sleeve but dont know why shirt
tuck out, at his side those poly nylon type bag slingbag. looks
like 30somethings-early40s executive who had a drink after work but
not very rich, hair not comb well. he flag at one cab already
stopped in front of me but that cab start drive away, i think
strange becos i thought i see that cab is empty
then that guy turn towards me, face like not very happy and then
board like purposely slowly, not the usual passenger board. i
thought he look like Chinese so i ask him in Chinese. from the
start he sound like he wanted to pick fight when ask him which way
to go. i told him i am new then he say every td also tell him the
same story they are new! he try to insult me ask me how and where i
graduate, he until now no license also better than me, go which
road better still need to ask meh? then when i ask him again
politely which way he prefer, he turn and ask me why dont you
suggest la i want to hear you say out. so i suggested, but then he
still not happy like as if i cannot think only want to cheat him.
then i told him politely usually the way i suggested to him is most
customer will themselves suggest or accept my suggestion. then he
say loud ok lah go your way, i want to see you go your way! but
when we come near to route i suggest to take, he change again say
follow his way, dont go my way! then all the way he sit behind make
all sorts of noises and insults. i keep quiet and drive carefully,
but he say wah sit my car drive need to buy insurance.
when we finally near his place, i ask him again politely which
way, left or right side, becos left side is private condo, right
side is carpark to older hdb. he then mumble not clear so i check
with him again, but he even more unhappy thinking i am trying to be
funny, then he ask very aggresive i am PRC or
Malaysia?? at that time i really worry he sound like he going to
hit or kick me from behind. when i say i not sure what he asking,
he get even more irritated and insist i must reply him before he
pay. then i smile say i am really new, he challenge say then he can
just jump out and go away without paying, what can i do
i just keep smile becos i really dont know what to do, then he
slowly take wallet and count, but again count longer than other
usual passenger, then pay me and then i return him change. then he
still dont want to get out he dont even reach for door handle, he
sit back ask again why i dont dare tell him i PRC or
Malaysia, and then add some more insult ( i cannot remember but i
know words not nice). and finally just before he alighted, he
suddenly turn his body again ask angrily did i give him back his
50cents change
i say yes
yes i put it in your hand just, he say you sure!? you sure!? then
he laughed loudly and say something like you ah! you ah!! i cannot
tahan you ah! then he got off..i quickly make uturn in carpark and
drive away, but thats my last passnger i take
hi bro , try not to always say u are new coz instead of giving
chance , some will take the opportunity to try to whack u
instead.
Sometimes towards drunks , u need to be a bit fierce then they
will keep quiet.
Lastly , its good that u encounter all these in a short span of
time then u know what kinda pax to avoid picking next time when you
are more experienced.
gd luck
