Ros the ecentric - Part 1
People who know me always say tht I am an Super eccentric person who does weird things all the time. Unpredictable, cranky, eccentric are phases which are not strangers to me. Sometimes even I myself is amaze at the things I say and do.
Me and the 68 years old, gambled horse and lose many money whose son work in sales line Taxi uncle.
Today I took this taxi's uncle cab and is super amaze by my overall behaviour towards the whole incident.
This was wat happen.
I board on the cab at clementi this evening and the 1st thing which the cab uncle did after he found out tht I was heading Pasir Ris and not Jurong was To nag non-stop at me, complaining tht He had thot I was going to Jurong as he had the intention to go home to eat his dinner since he is nearby. He even went on to comment abt there were many passagers waiting for cab at the taxi stand and confirm most of them are heading to the far west.
I was thinking to myself, since this poor uncle want to go home for his dinner. Then I shall just get off and let him pick some other passagers which is on the way for him to go home for dinner. So i suggested to the uncle that if he dun mind, why dun he let me alight and pick some other people instead so as not to delay his meal time. I dun mind waiting for another cab. The uncle then reply me saying tht he will not chase off any customer once he accept them onto his cab. For if he really want to choose customer, he will have ask me even before i board on the cab.
He started chatting, complaining abt some other previous customer who blah blah blah.. which to me was not very pleasing to my ears cos I am really tired. And I also realise as he was Nagging... He was actually driving at 60-70km/hr on PIE!!!
Haiz.. At tht moment, I really feel like telling him if its possible for him to drive a bit faster, say maybe abt 80-90km instead but I hold back my tongue cos I just didn't want to be rude. =(
So the orignally 20 - 30 mins cab ride became 40-45 mins instead. And I also had to endure endless of comments and complains abt life in general from this 68 years old taxi uncle whose life.. I dunno sound like super tragic.. Lose a few hundreds thousands on gambling horse, got to sell off his flat to pay his depts, go thru depression and nearly jump off the building.. Blah Blah Blah.. *Pls note as the uncle was talking.. my eyes was on the speedo meter.. 60-70km on PIE. AND I WAS YAWNING NON STOP COS I HAVE A SUPER LONG DAY AT WORK!!!*
But this wasn't the best part.. I wanted to settle the cab bill using my CC as I intend to claim from my company by mth end. So politely I ask the uncle if he accept CC and he say Yes but sometimes.. the machine is spoilt and can't be used. So I told him nevermind, we will just try the machine if its down then I will pay by cash instead.
Guess what?? The uncle actually does not know how to use the CC machine and needed me to read thru the instruction on the screen and assist him instead. This wasn't a big thing but the thing was.. I saw tht my transaction had gone thru successfully, it turn out tht the receipt printer was actually faulty and thus I was not able to print out any receipt. So the uncle once again.. Started his nagging session abt the machine faulty.. Impossible tht if transaction went thru.. cannot print out receipt.. Blah Blah Blah.. But as i see from the status, the transaction had went thru sucessfully and there is no way I am going to pay this uncle cash for it will mean double charging for me.
So.. guess wat i did???
Hee.... Can you guys guess what I did with regard to this naggy taxi uncle who drive throughout at 60-70km on PIE, nag me with endless sad stories and finally freaking receipt printer which doesn't work????
Like I say.. I am simply amazed with myself and the amt of patient tht I actually bother to give to this uncle. -_-"
I actually gave the uncle my name card and tell him tht he can go check with his company if the transaction did went thru. If not just feel free to call me on my HP and I will be more than happy to pay him in cash.
Seriously.. As I walk from the cab.. to my lift lobby.. I still can't believe tht I actually did all those and never bother to scream at tht uncle.
I must be crazy and under serious stress pressure.
