Wave Of Taxi Attacks Leaves 1 T.o. Cabbie Dead - meford4u - 05-05-2006 I used to drive a cab. Man the stories I could tell. Especially about the drunk women you take home at the end of the night from the bar. Like shootin fish in a barrel. Wave Of Taxi Attacks Leaves 1 T.o.

My favourite stories involve the single moms who wanted help taking the groceries up to the apartment ... yeah, that one bag was heavy. But on a serious note ... in the 2 years I did it I had no trouble with anyone ... it's a much different job today. Wave Of Taxi Attacks Leaves 1 T.o.

Did you make the kind of $$ I made? 6 days a week, 12+ hours a day. Take home $1000 cash no taxes a week easily. Wave Of Taxi Attacks Leaves 1 T.o.

Mine was a summer job in university as well.Yup - at least in the equivalent money for the early 70s. I rented the car 24/7 so I'd pick my times to be out - usually 13/14 hours. I never thought about it much but the guy who owned the car (he didn't own the plate) was a heavy drinker and actually lived on the rent money I paid him through the summer. This was before you needed a special license to pick up at Pearson and every once in a while we'd get a fare to Kitchener or Niagara Falls and they were sweet because you could make your day in like 2 1/2 hours. And yeah ... meeting girls/women was inevitable -- single moms, bingo queens (for that redneck experience), bar hoppers, strippers (lots of strippers), lonely housewives (I was stoopid fearless, couple of real close calls) -- I was once even picked up by a woman I drove home from the hospital after her car accident --- we waited for her to heal for a couple of weeks before having our "date." IIRC gas was about 0.55 / gallon (= 0.14 / liter) and I could do a day's business on $8 worth of gas. |
