strange things that happen in a taxi

[chicken]

yea, so, i was going home tonight and ordered a taxi, as always

but yesterday was a bit strange Oo the driver was ugly as hell (i dont want to be shallow, but... seriously!) and she was telling me her life story that she was playing a browsergame and got to know the admin and the best thing: they never saw each other in RL but decided to marry after like 2 weeks of skype and webcam contact... jeez, i really wanted to jump out of the car or make her stop talking *-*

another thing that happened to me like two years ago or something:

i asked the driver to get me home for a lump sum (which is totaly illegal ) and he said yea, for like 15 bucks (which is very VERY cheap) so i jumped in. but after a while, he realized, that he thought the way would be by far shorter than it actually was... so we were like discussing a lot what he said and what he tought and that i couldnt know what was going on in his head and stuff like that...
when we were like 2km away from home, he slowed down the car and said i need to get out, NOW and i was like "are you insane? i wont get out, drive! you said you'd get me home so do it!" and we were just inches away from starting a real fight XD anyway, i offered him 5 bucks more so that he would shut up and do his job... that was one crazy ride, im telling you ^^

so what about you? dont tell me you never had strange experiences in a taxi

...strange, i'm afraid i have nothing to say, never been in a taxi but i do know that in this country they aren't that social, they drive you to where you want to go you pay get out and they go, there's about 2 sentences said throughout the entire trip.

taxi drivers here like to talk. although i havent had many funny stories, one of my friends had a particularly interesting taxi driver.. next time i see him ill ask for the story again, i dont remember the exact phrasing used

I remember my buddy sitting behind the driver, and he felt very sick because of alcohol. so when I realized it I began to sing a song loudly, and as soon as the others sang along loud enough he puked into the bag which was on back of the drivers seat the taxi driver didn't realize anything^^

They're all Indian here in Australia it seems. One told us about some course he was doing at a university, and another spoke Indian the entire time to his phone... they usually have people skills, but it doesn't usually extend beyond hello, where to, and the fare amount.
