I remember someone saying that they didn't like really friendly taxi drivers. In a way I can relate. When I get in a taxi, I have to be asked the same foreigner-related questions for the upmteenth time. "Where are you from? How old are you? Are you married? (and when I say no) You're old enough (22), you have to get married!"
I really hate it when the taxi driver is so dense that he can't understand he has to speak slowly because I'm not a native speaker of his language. I'm sitting there saying "what?" and still all he says, really quickly is "mumble mumble mumble."
Speaking of annoying taxi drivers, one kept asking me yesterday if it really was true that black people have soft skin. "you have soft skin, don't you? you do, don't you?"
I demand to know why I get all the weird taxi drivers.
And you know they all spit. I know I said it in another thread, but that spitting thing drives me crazy. Not a delicate spit. Oh no, a big from-the-depths-of-the-soul spit. gross.
