i have seen a good few taxi drivers leave the job in the last few years, most of them because they got sick of it, not everyone is going to give taxi driving a go and fall in love with it, its an ok job but its not for everyone, most people would rather stick pins in their eyes than work all night listening to drunks talking $hite, threatening you, dropping curry chips all over your car, throwing up all over your back seat, hitting you, fighting with you over a euro or refusing to pay the fare at all.
