Dear NY cab drivers,
I know your job sucks. Driving around all day and all night, picking up annoying, often drunk, people who leave lousy tips, having to drive people home to Brooklyn, knowing that you won't be able to get a fare back into the city. I feel for you, I really do.
If I am getting a cab home to Brooklyn it is because it's too late to take the subway safely by myself. I tip well. Therefore it would be very nice if you could restrain yourselves from:
1). Telling me that you have cancer and your wife just had a stroke and that it is my fault that you will be losing money tonight because you are taking me home to Brooklyn. (Especially after a Leonard Cohen show - thanks for bringing me down from my Leonard Cohen show with a fucking CRASH).
2). Complaining about lousy tips en route before we have got to my destination. It's not going to make me tip you more, quite the contrary.
3). Trying to make me get out of the cab when I have already got in. I am paying you for a service - I don't assume that you driving me home is for free.
4). Talking my ear off about your problems. I have enough of my own thank you very much. You are not my family or my friend.
However, if you are the lovely Russian driver from Odessa, or the awesome Indian driver who sings songs to me and gives me bangles - I adore you and wish there were more of you. Thank you for making my late night trips home a pleasure more than a nightmare.
There - I got that off my chest now I can move on to my next thoughts.

Honey,
Taxi drivers would love to take you anywhere you want to go if you would call and ask the TLC to let them put GPS back in their car.
Also, People in NYC are just F*cking cheap.
When I ride to Brooklyn I tip no less than $10.00...
WHY? because its a long f*cking way back to manhattan with no money and cops ride their ass for no reason, besides the fact that you can hardly drive in that ghetto of a burrow.
Anyway, I refuse to be one of Bloombergs bitches and be brainwashed into thinking that all taxi drivers should be hated. They weren't even recognized as heroes during 911, however, all of those crooked cops sure did.
Why don't cant you see that they have been put in a prison of society. Jews own the city and Muslims drive taxis, what do Jews hate the most??? ... MUSLIMS!
girlfriend, GET A CLUE!
I only decided to publish this because of the profound stupidity and uneducated generalizations in your comment.
Of course, the bad old Jews run this city, all cab drivers are poor, hated Muslims, and, you forgot to mention, the righteous Christians rule over everyone and everything. Did I forget someone?
SIGH.
