Do you talk to the cab-driver?

**Mr.White** · 11-02-2007, 09:56 AM

shut the fuck up and drive, idiot!

**Makingcoin** · 11-02-2007, 09:57 AM

I chat with them, usually only in cabs when I am loaded.

**everestcash** · 11-02-2007, 10:11 AM

i never chat with them and i'm ready to kill any driver who tries to talk to me
it's really irritating

**James_Hotmovies** · 11-02-2007, 10:12 AM

I almost always chat with them.

**DBS.US** · 11-02-2007, 10:12 AM

Never. I don't think some of them can drive and talk at the same time.

**leftsans** · 11-02-2007, 10:12 AM

I talk to them, they are usually from somewhere else and have had interesting lives.

yeah agreed with you.

**jalami** · 11-02-2007, 11:31 AM

You'd have to speak their language first -- never been in a cab where the driver had command of English.

I like talking to the immigrants. It seemed like San Diego has a lot of drivers from Somalia... it was kind of interesting hearing about eastern Africa. Anyone that thinks they have it bad should just talk to one of those guys. :-)

yeah when im loaded in the cab the cabbie becomes my best friend and he should because he is saving me the trouble of getting a DUI

I have a regular driver who has been taking me to the airport for years. We have developed a rapport. But on the drive home from the airport, it is usually some guy I've never met, so I'm fairly quite.

Or...perhaps the reason I am so quiet is because I am half in the bag from the flight?

**ztik** · 11-02-2007, 11:48 AM

I don't really care about what they have to say or what happened in their life

**BlackCrayon** · 11-02-2007, 12:28 PM

Not usually. Sometimes they'll try and talk to me though. Very strange sometimes. Other times just usual chit-chat. The most strange cabbie had to be the one that was on the cellphone with a 1-900 number. Creeeepy.

I just had a chat with a Russian cab driver. He was telling me about how whats going on in Russia now was like America in the 20's ... and a whole lot of other fun stuff. It was almost really interesting

cab rides are boring, i always talk to them

**PornMogul** · 11-02-2007, 01:12 PM

Usually if the dude is cool ill talk but if not then i keep my mouf shut and they usually do too

**KBoogie** · 11-02-2007, 01:20 PM

I chat with everybody. I think most people are extremely interesting or comedic at the least. Specially service related people.

**dynastoned** · 11-02-2007, 01:22 PM

i always talk to the cab drivers unless im severely hung over or something. those guys always have some cool stories to tell.

**dav3** · 11-02-2007, 01:45 PM

If you talk to them, they will let you blaze a bowl in their ride!

**The Fist** · 11-02-2007, 01:47 PM

Only when I'm drunk.

NYC cabbies love drunken fools.

**Michaelious** · 11-02-2007, 02:14 PM

In the UK i do, but in the US i don't. I don't speak Arabic.

**Lemons** · 11-02-2007, 02:26 PM

I love chatting with the cab driver. In montreal we got alot of Arabs and Haitians .... I dont think u people understand how hilrious some of the stories they have.

lol

In the cabs I've ridden in, the driver was usually an African-American. And by "African-American", I mean English was not their first language, nor the US their home country.

Haha. Guilty of that myself. They are usually happy to see me leave.

**Easton** · 11-02-2007, 02:31 PM

i prefer silence too: that way i can daydream and he can focus on the road

**Vick!** · 11-02-2007, 02:34 PM

People like this always have something interested to tell you about .. I always talk to anyone who I think have something new to tell me, unless my mood is off of course.

Usually.

Chatting and thinking at the same time isn't that big of a deal - and sometimes the collaboration of the two leads to certain epiphanies.

The only times I'm generally not up for chatting is when I'm tired, and getting a tocuh of shut-eye, or reading... and most cabbies are smart enough to realize when I'm up to either.

And if one wasn't, I don't think I'd bother being rude to them... no real sense in that... I'd just let them know what was up.\, and that I'd prefer a little quiet, if they didn't mind.

Do you talk to the cab-driver?
