Dear Taxi Driver

From the backseat:

You are not supposed to be on your cel phone when driving me to my destination..it even says it in the backseat! And why are you trying to do 50kms in 1st gear? Did we just run over your engine back there?
I've traveled a bit, and rode in taxis in many cities, and last I checked, you're supposed to drive BETWEEN the lines, NOT on top of them...you are entitled to ONE lane at a time. It is a basic premise that two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time...capiche?
Also, can you please refrain from doing that disgusting flem clearing in your throat that you do? I do not need to see what expels from the bowels of your body on the sidewalk when you open the door at a red light to spit it out.
Furthermore, YOU should know where you are going. Aren't you a "taxi driver"? This island isn't that big and you have a GPS!
And just so you know, just because I'm American does not mean I know President Obama personally or that I happen to know the exact temperature in California today!
You're making me miss NYC cab drivers, just sayin...sorry to be so rude...but I DID say thank you and have a nice day (in Mandarin).
