How weird can taxi drivers be? We've heard all sorts of unhappy encounters with "them" and earlier on I just faced one. His name is Quek Cheng Tee driving SHB2025K (CityCab)...
Shirlene had knocked off from her work at 12am plus and she was able to claim taxi fare for her transportation to home. So I was there to company her in closing her shop cos it was too late and dangerous to do it alone. Anyway that is not the main point lah~
Both of us then hopped onto that toopid cab along AMK Ave 3 and I told him the destination (my home of cos). So as usual, I told him to turn left (in Mandarin) at a few junctions in order to reach my house. Then we came to T junction (AMK St 52 & St 53) where I told him to turn LEFT. But I dunno if he was deaf or what, he made a RIGHT turn!! I was so near to my house k?! And with that wrong turn, it was obviously a longer way. I didn't flare up since I was a good-tempered person normally (unless being provoked - those people who witnessed the FIERCE SZE will know). So I just told him in Mandarin: " Uncle, just now I asked you to turn LEFT leh, but you turn RIGHT". There was silence......... Shirlene and me then exchanged glances and I repeated that phrase to him again. By that time, he had reached another junction and he was supposed to turn LEFT, which luckily he did (since going straight would have gone towards NYP). Throughout the whole journey after the wrong turn, he did not uttered a word, let alone an apology. Toopid driver!!
Eventually we managed to arrive safely at the carpark with fumes coming out from my ears. I just took down his name and taxi number and I WILL email CityCab to feedback about his idiotic attitude.
