Erm ya lazy bollix took me ages to get a cab last night.
-
Finished around 02:30 myself. No messy fares at all but I didn't work the streets a whole lot. Needless there was any amount of work on mytaxi.

I gave up when the snow came down, not worth the hassle
Unfortunately some don't learn

Picked an Irish girl and a random yank at top of Harcourt St amongst 100s of ourstretched hands "thanks so much, you're the best OMG we love you". Him to Grants Row, her to Blackrock. "Just pay for your bit of the journey" says she to him. He offers me a note from the back seat €7.40 on the meter. "Give it to the lady" says I without looking at it. He gets out "A $100 dollars: says she to me. Total fare to to Blackrock €19.20. She gave me €20 and accepted the 80 cents change.....Shoulda taken what he offered me. Wimmin wha?

Did a super shift, first time in years, 17 hours with two tea breaks, job to job no hassle, snow slowed it down towards the end but punters tipped well and were grateful as no taxis to be had.
Seen a few of the new Irish skidding or stuck, they mustn't know how to drive in the snow. Not that I have a lot of experience but knew to use gears to slow down, no sudden movements and high gear with low revs, plus I put second hand German all/four season tyres on the front before the beast hit last week, don't know if they made any difference but I tipped away past me usual 3 am finish until 6.30am, bit slower but never empty. If only every day!
Have to say impressed the way the Peugeot WAV rental handled and happy as a pig in shite until I made a classic error, didn't separate me takings and punter handed me €20 for a €9.60 fare, said just give me the ten back, later I counted me takings again and noticed I only had 2 nifty's when I had 3 nifty's earlier on, gave the punter a €50 instead of a €10. Still pissed off at meself!

'Schoolboy' Error U Wha, you should have a designated 'Inbound only' pocket/place fer Nifties and excess Scores.
Keep change of a Fifty in your top pocket and everything else well hidden.

Cheers Belker, unfortunately I have to learn from me own mistakes and not the other fellas, as per your post on another thread. Take your advice and hopefully won't happen again for years. Was having a great day on Paddy's Day, pockets full and punter getting in as quick as they were getting out so stuffing cash in pocket thinking this is great and I was in great form, now I am seriously pissed off, rather burn the money than lose it like that. That Fucker is laughing and having pints on a stupid taxi driver.

'Shit happens', Swallow it ! Forget it !

I could tell the very long tale of the good deed I done last night fer a Limerick chungwan in order to retrieve her phone, she and her 2 male friends promised the world and her mother and how she would compliment me to MyTaxi and the NTA and even to God himself !
Once she or rather I got her phone back after driving her all over the city, she offered a Peck on the Cheek, No Cash !
Fook em ! Swallow it !

As FDS used to remind us, there's a reason we drive cabs for a living. I tend to put the 50s in a separate pocket myself but hey, I don't hear any of yis complaining when a drunk hands over a 50 for a fare under a tenner and says keep the change.
