Taxi drivers who refuse to lend a helping hand
-
Took a taxi from airport after trip. We are a family with 2 very young kids, one 2 year old gal and a 4 year old boy. We have a large luggage and a medium luggage with a stroller. Carrying my 2 year old who is asleep, I already struggling... My husband, carrying the 4 year old boy who weighs 17kg and asleep too, had to unload the 2 luggages himself while the taxi driver sat there in his seat, waiting for us to finish with our struggle and to close his boot and his door! Extremely inconsiderate! He did not help us because we can't put sleeping child on floor to get our luggage! He just watch till we finish struggling! Sigh... Was thinking that was extremely selfish and conscienceless of the indian taxi driver to just sit and watch...

TS, I don't believe that TD never help your family, when on board from Airport........
Is a rule that TD need to get off from their cab when inside the taxi pick-up lot.........TD refuse to get off from their cab, will be warned by taxi porter and will not be able to pick up any pax as a punishment..........repeated offenser will be barred from picking up at Airport........So you claim that the TD sat inside his cab, definitely must be reaching your destination.............
So this TD already help you once.........subsequently, your kids fall asleep inside the cab, why put the blame on that poor TD?.......jolly well wake up your kids upon reaching(fyi, I'm also father of 2)...........
To help or not to help is very individual, you rather let your kids sleep and curst on that TD, very selfish you are.........put that to my shoe, you don't deserve my help also..........

Rbs70, I believe she was referring to the TD when at her home.
Anyway, I believe you could have asked. It doesn't mean that they are TDs and definitely obliged to help the passenger. You could have asked but you didnt. You chose to stomach all that unhappiness and then signed up to post here. Says a lot about the way you handle your own emotions.

Don't try to defend your own selfish Taxi colleagues lah.
Once, my mother fell and broke her wrist and a taxi driver just happened to finish his lunch and I approached him and express our wish to take his cab to take my mother to the hospital. He refused though he saw my mother was in pain. He remained in his taxi and dilly dally for another 15 minutes and then he drove past us quickly while I was still frantically calling the various taxi companies.

Please -lah!!! have a heart for the taxi driver too. What if he is a man with a weak heart? You expect him to carry your dead weight luggages out of the taxi? what if he get a heart attack whilst trying to "wrestle " with your luggage? You ar eboth young and vibrant and can produce two or three more kids even ....so you can carry your own baggage!

taxi drivers are not movers . taxi driver are not obliged to carry your stuff . keep on complaining bout taxi drivers then all td will not help u . complain lor , until got luggage surcharge then u know .

You pay the taxi to drive you to a destination , not to carry stuff for you.
Want extra service better pay for it.

Definitely, and TS still want to twist and turn the facts.........
Nobody will know what actually happen during the whole journey.........
And taxi uncles are not obligated to carry things for passengers...........if taxi uncles help, which most of us do, appreciate it..........if no, so be it..........

I would have complain to the end. My mother being a devout Buddhist asked me not to pursuit the matter but my blood still boils when thinks of the matter !

Open mouth and ask for help is the key words......... most time, after reaching pax destination, I also sit inside my cab last time, than I become unhelpful?.........

Now, when I'm back from oversea, at Airport, I know myself, those TD are force to help, because is a requirement in Airport..........after that, please wake up our ideas and don't expect every TD is Samaritan............
Until the day, we are like Japanese, than you come talk about graciousness.........

TS,
You can't call the Taxi uncle inconsiderate. Just so you know, I have a lower back injury from last time fall many years back. Till today, I cannot carry heavy items or weight. So if I dun help you, am I inconsiderate or selfish? If I injure my back again JUST by helping you unload your luggage, will you compensate me for my injury, lost of income or even feed my family? Think about it before you come here and anyhow shoot. BTW, there is no law or regulation that taxi drivers have to carry your stuff for you, BE IT LOADING OR UNLOADING.
