This week i was forced to take a taxi to work because my car had to go for repairs. I dont know maybe i got irritated because its been more than a year since i was last on a taxi. It just so happened that when i get to the taxi rank , i see the similar people i used to catch a taxi to work with a year ago (i dont know when they are going to buy cars). That just made me think that there are a lot of irritating things people do in the taxis that just make one wanna scream MURDER!!!
Here are a few irritating things i encountered this week:
1. Anyone ever noticed that taxi commuters do not have a problem to just open i-Kentucky noma umgxabhiso in a taxi and dig as if its no body's business? I-Kentuck iyonuka e-taxini.
2. Than there is this fellow, when he gets to a taxi he opens both windows from his side and the other side. Just imagine that you have just done your hair, when you ask him to close the window, he replies "This is a free country, go and sit somewhere else" and then you think "sit somewhere else the taxi is already full you idiot!!!!
3. Then you get those people who love to sit in front but who do not know how to count money (if there is no scabha bhoyi). You ask for your change, umuntu avele akubhavumukele athi "Awukho ushintshi" with an irritating voice than you think this exact person will be sitting at the back tomorrow, how will it feel to him when i say the same thing?hhhhmmmm
4.Then you get those sistaz who do not wanna make space for someone else to sit, especially if the taxi is the 4 4 one. You ask her nicely "please can you move a bit so i can be able to sit?" They normally dont reply, but bakuklonyoloza uze ubone ukuthi hhabe kanti eyakini yini le-taxi.
5. What about those people who loves to talk in a taxi, umuntu wakhona afune kulalelwe yena. He will brag and brag and normally he doesnt talk about anything else except ukuqoma kwezingane, imfebo yamantombazane, ukugcola komhlaba, you know those topics nje. Most you find those people do not know how to discipline their own children and they busy preaching in taxis.
So what's the worst you have encountered in a taxi? Im happy im getting my car back tommorrow.
