Taxi counseling

I got this idea from a politician that hired his driver as a counselor…the politician is a prime minister, the driver…well he’s just a driver… of course the media jumped right at his throat … who the hell hires a driver to help you take decisions for an entire country.

On the other hand….the driver is the guy that drove him to work, home, to parties, maybe even to late visits around the city… so they must have some kind of chemistry.

I support this decision…and to prove it I will share a few advices I got from taxi drivers.

The city at night, low traffic, raining… I’m in a cab, we pass by some hookers. The cab driver (around 45) looks at me and says: “never get a hooker when it rains. They have a wet hair, and could wet your pants”.

The city at day, high traffic, sunny… I’m in a cab, stuck in traffic. Out of the blue, the cab driver looks at me and goes: “you know what you should do? You should walk more. I hate customers that use the cab for a mile or two. What the hell is wrong with you? Next time…walk!”

So… if you have ever been in a cab, and got an advice from the cab driver… share… let’s make it a cab driver counseling post… maybe you don’t have any use for that advice, but could come in handy to other people, or to an entire country…
