As a member of this forum, esp the Taxi Drivers Thread, I for one felt insulted….
Believe an apology from you is appropriate…..... since you are one “with taste, know how to use a fork and knife and got table manners”......
Dear MDT2410, i must apologise if i did offended you.
my line is - if people dun even know how to use their tools to eat ( in this case, driving a taxi for their livelihood) and have the appropriate attitude in making their living.
Manners ?
Then if paxes dun eat inside the buses and MRT , pls don't eat inside a cab !
These 3 are all public transport .
If u want bloody good service , where u can get serve , eat and drink , and even smoke inside a cab , pls flag for a Chrysler !
U paying nuts , pls prepare to get monkeys , not elephants .
And pls pay up !!!!
U have to thank god u no need to pay first than take a cab .
In buses and MRT , u no money , u can smell the smokes .

please use chopsticks to eat your prime juicy big slice of meat and please dun use your hand, u will look ugly
It isn't nice to say taxi drivers here have no taste,no table manner and don't know how to use forks and knives.Many families like mine do not use knives on our dining tables.They are in the kitchens to cut food into smaller pieces.
I consider mobile phones as part of tools or necessary aid for taxidrivers.
It's unfortunate such an incident happened. I can only say that the lady taxi driver was not altogether wrong to use the phone while driving.I guess she didn't handle the situation efficiently upon reaching the destination.Lack of experience and tactfulness may be the cause.
Having said that, if she is so good, so well mannered, she could be better off flying a plane or rich tai tai at home.
What the heck you expect from a taxi driver ??

Good commuters i fetch usually came into my cab and said all this heartening words that make you replied positively.

Look down on Taxi Drivers???
Mr Donsan himself also taxi driver, why would he look down on his compatrioit?
Anyway, if Celine had answered the phone via an earpiece, what right does the ang mo to refuse payment? Even TP also cannot fault Celine on that...

"What the heck you expect from a taxi driver ??" - maybe he thinks drivin a taxi is a ignoble job.
too bad that she met a bigot who refused to pay

there is no kitchen and no one to cut your meat in this jungle.

Firstly, can you define ignoble for me? Sorry, I'm not very well education, hence my England not powderful.
(Ok, above is a joke. But, I really don't know what ignoble means until I check up dicktionary.com. Thanks for teaching me a new word today. I meant it.)
Secondly, I feel you are being very harsh to Celine when asking "can't taxi drivers chit-chat on the phone when no passenger on board.?" It was reported:
"As it was an urgent call, I apologized to the passenger and told him that I needed to answer this call but the passenger kept quiet."
Hence, if the passenger is not happy about it, he can voice it out then. He's just being a (forgive me) bastard by just keeping quiet about it.
I don't know what is your job function. Let's just assume that you work in a office. What if one day, you're in a meeting and someone related to you called from the hospital. (I'm not cursing you. Shit happens.) I would love to hear you tell your manager that the person in the hospital can wait, while you stayed to finish your meeting. Afterall, that's your job and you're paid to attend the meeting.
Let's be sympathetic towards Celine. In my opinion, the only thing that she erred is trying to provide a good service by helping an ang mo unload his luggage, despite being a lady herself, even before collecting payment. I don't even want to suggest that he's got a big body frame and perfectly able to unload his luggage himself, although that's most possibly the case. In fact, even before the handphone incident, which occurs after they left the airport, the ang mo already displayed his attitude by not even offering to load his own luggage at the airport.
What happens to the "Ang mo are gentlemen" image?
Ok, I don't really like to get into the flame bait between you and Donsan (I think)... but your arguing for the sake of arguing without checking the facts is really... "Major Face-Palm" moment...

Ever wonder why we call them "CAO ANG MO" coz they stink both in and out.
A coin has 2 sides and we do not really know what had happened.
