Why do the public think we are robots?
« on: December 19, 2022, 05:27:21 pm »
Are you working Christmas day?

Can I book you for 6 am, main street to the train €8 fare.

Can I book you for 7 am tomorrow morning? No, I will be working until 5 am. Oh so you definitely can't collect me at 7 am?

Tell them you're on day release from prison as you near the end of your life sentence for murder but you'll be back inside on whatever day they want to book ya.  Then laugh and say they're safe, you only killed your missus.  And finish with another scary laugh.  They won't bother you again.

 rofl

I will make it worth your while then they say to bribe you to do it. Like say its a 10 euro trip and they even offered you 100 (more likely they think you will be delighted with 15), is it really worth getting up at 5 am to do it? health is wealth and I don't think id be doing myself any favors by depriving myself of much needed sleep.

It's worse if you have a wheelchair taxi.Every (wheelchair bound)punter tries to make you their special driver.
I just tell them to book me on the app.

Yiz could be on to something there, a few very early morning hotel or b&b bogus airport bookings well thought out might piss him off a bit, mix it about a bit over time, different B&B's, different phone numbers (block him the next day) and always have the flight information and number at hand if he asks.

He is cagey about who he brings as far as I know. It's all word of mouth how he gets business. He knows about the NTA officers catching people like him. Still he is a greedy fcuker so you never know.

Did you give them the illegal lad's number?
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.
