Where do you sit in a taxi?

mikemac

So where do you sit?
I find the person in the front seat might be the person paying, so can't have that :pac:

Even if I get a taxi on my own, I always seat in the back and in the left.
Dunno why, force of habit.

Where do you go and any reason why?

Since I'm a nice guy and my friends are full of money with great jobs... I sit in the front and pay because they're tight gits!!!!!!!!!!

bleg

in the front if i'm on my own or with people and i intend to pay. in the back and i'm with people and don't want to pay!

[WoW]

If i know the taxi man ill sit in the front but otherwise i also sit back left..weird. :eek:

OPENROAD

The boot. I like to be different.

Back, left hand side though sod all room in Dublin taxis,back right hand side is even worse, don't want to sit in front as find better chance of avoiding conversation if you sit in the back.

Creamy Goodness

in the back all the time.

the ignorance of many taxi drivers mean they normally have the front passenger riddled with their hearld,coffee,breakfast roll and cigs.

they'd probably run the meter whilst they are clearing this stuff just so you can sit.

WindSock

I used to sit in the front. Now I sit in the back and I love talking to them. I hate a grumpy quiet taxi driver.

When I'm in Cork, always in the back on the left, if I'm at home for the weekend always in the front because I know the taxi driver, I'm always slaughtered when I'm in the taxi, and he's asked me to sit in the front because otherwise I always lean forward to have conversations with him and I disract him!

In the back at all times.

Thrill

Back.

I try to get the front seat all the time and chat away with the driver. They normally have plenty to say but you get the odd one or two who only open their mouths to ask for the fare.

Back.

Me and my mates split the fair, it works out only a few euro then.

misslt

In the front if I'm on my own, in the back if I'm with someone else.

Does it annoy anyone if they're with someone and that person gets in the front while you're in the back?

Death or Glory

Front if I'm on my own, back if with company

Red Hand

Back.

Always in the front.

Sam Kade

In the back so that I can make a quick getaway without paying it also helps if the driver is old or overweight he won't be able to run after you.

In the back.

I've learned to just shut up around certain taxi drivers I know. One night about a week after me and my ex broke up, I was ranting and raving with my friend about everything he did. I was really upset and totally let everything out!


Taxi driver dropped me off, drove back into town and told my ex everything!! :mad:

What a rotten ba*tard. That was a pretty mean thing to do.

Did you give him a tip?

I cant even remember. I was so distressed over the break up at the time (like literally mental, lol) I can only vaguely remember the stuff I was saying. I remember the driver looking back and telling me that my ex will get what he deserves eventually and saying that he'll end up married to some cheating b*tch if Karma has anything to do with it.

I didn't think for a second he'd go back and tell him. It so embarrassing because his sister and his mam were with my ex when the driver was telling him what I'd said!!

razorblunt

Back.

Should sit in the middle of the back for the laugh sometim.

Sit in the front if I'm on my tod, in the back with the gf or when I'm with the lads whoever is out of the house first gets the front seat.

Mint Sauce

in the front, or in the back if with some one special

Volvoboy

People who sit in the front want a chat.

Single people who sit in the back dont want a chat.

You sit on his lap. I suppose it's an interesting way to pay for the fare.

I sat in the front once. On the way home the taxi man put his hand on my leg and tried it on. I sat in the back left against the door from then on, until I could save up the money for my own car.

Needless to say, after that, when they internally lock you in - it left my nerves shot for the rest of the journey.

Similar thing happened to me! Well he didn't actually touch me though. It was a few weeks ago, I was on my way to work.
I always sit in the front and for the first ten mins or so we chatted about work and that sort of thing. Then we stopped talking for a minute or two (it wasn't an uncomfortable silence or anything, at least I didn't think so! It's a 20 min journey so in fairness we couldn't talk non-stop about the weather for the whole time :rolleyes: )
Then he kinda turned a little towards me WHILE DRIVING and asked if he had done something wrong?!!! Because the conversation had dried up! I just said I had been thinking about work, but I was really freaked out by the whole thing. Then he started randomly asking if I have a dog and if I'm married.. I'm only 20 and I look way younger than that so it was veeeeery strange. I couldn't wait to get to work :pac: Needless to say I shall be taking the back seat from now on!:D

That was odd as hell! :eek: If I wasnt driving now, Id prob stick to public transport, when there are loads of people about.

But if you have to do it, stick to the door on the back left

In the front if I'm on my own.

If with a crowd, in the back. Messers down the back :pac:

Rb

The boot. I like to be different.

Back left whenever possible.

Usually has the most leg room. If I'm in a foul mood or something and really want to avoid talking to the driver I'll sit in the back right and just look out the window.

Though, if I'm by myself I generally enjoy a chat with the driver.

ferdi

In the back, always.

That way I can imagine i'm in a chauffeur driven Limousine and I can have more of a master/servant type relationship with the cabby. More bang for my buck.

Always the front. I like to chat to the driver (unless he's a really ignorant prick, which is rare) and that's easier in the passenger seat.

With mates: in the back - shotgun pays so theres always a race for the back.

On my own: in the front unless it's an airport run and I want to snooze.

Alessandra

In a large unfamiliar city I sit in the back seat on the opposite side to the driver. At home usually the front as all my friends usually take the back seat first.:mad:

Jigsaw

By myself, in the front. With a ladyfriend or amongst a group of people, probably back.

I went to a gay nightclub in Belfast recently cos it served late on a Sunday and the driver said, "I used to be gay, but these days I can't be arsed". I loled.

PS I am not gay. Great fan of the quim.
