When you land to the country you are traveling to then how will you get to your hotel or your guest house or to your destination? If you have booked a transfer from airport then you will easily be able to get out of the airport and get in your cab and then relax until you reach your destination; but, if you are running low on money and are hoping that local cabs and the transfer will be cheap, then you are mistaken.
If you have your transfer cabs pre-booked; you will travel in a stress-free way without worrying about anything. However, if you don’t have any means of transportations; you might get annoyed and annoy your cab driver. Click here to know more.
Below is a list of five things which you shouldn’t do in the cab because it makes the cabbie angry and annoyed.
- You talk rudely to them: if you are having a bad day and you have to leave for someplace before your mood gets better (in our case it is vervoer luchthaven Charleroi) an, unfortunately, you are taking a cab then by no means you are entitled to talk or behave rudely to you cab driver. A cab driver is not your servant and is a person just like you, so, nothing permits you to be impolite to them. For example, if you are late for your flight then it is not the driver’s fault; it is your fault that you didn’t book your ride or airport transfer on time and so you shouldn’t be angry at him. Instead, you should own up to your mistake by being patient and asking him politely to take the shortest route and to drive fast.
- You don’t give them a good tip: most cabbies live on tips because they have to pay the taxi company the rent for their cabs and if they don’t earn much through their rides or tips they go home with no money and a debt to the company. You shouldn’t pay them a lousy tip because it is almost useless to them so you should give them a handsome tip to at least make a difference. For example, you take your cab driver to the most famous exhibition of the year, and there is a huge parking line before the drop-off area, and when you finally reach the drop-off point you pay him only 2$ as a tip which is embarrassing for you as a human being.
- you being way too much drunk: people choosing to travel via taxis when they are drunk is nothing new, people do that all the time, and that’s the reason the taxi drivers hate it so much. When you’re drunk, you can vomit in the car or fall asleep or can’t talk properly or all three of these things, so you are not the favorite customers of the taxi drivers. For example you are having a bad day at the office, and as soon as you get home you want to drink away your sorrows at a bar but instead of drinking away your sorrows; you drink away your sanity too, and so your cabbie (if he is a morally right person) will have to literally drag you from the street to up to your house. Which doesn’t sound nice, right?
- You make-out in the cab: your taxi driver is not fond of watching you make-out with your date from the bar. He is a stranger and public cab drivers for heaven’s sake… please control yourselves. Just remember that someone just a few inches away from you can see everything you do in the backseat through the rearview mirror and you also owe him respect (what if your driver is an older man?). For example, it is your first date, but you take things a bit too fast, and after pouring your heart out to your partner in a few drinks, you decide to show your affection to them… not appropriate to write any further…!
- You ask your cab driver to break the law: everyone knows that you want to reach your destination as soon as possible, but you shouldn’t ask your driver to violate traffic laws just because you will miss your plane or miss your essential interview. You should plan your day ahead so that you won’t have to worry about getting late. For example, you are about to miss your flight because of your lack of time management, and now not only are you being rude to the driver but you are also continually asking him to break the law.
If you do that; you might get to your flight to vervoer luchthaven Charleroi on time, but that cab driver will have to pay the ticket he got because you asked him to break the law.
