Taxi Driver Drinking- What to do?

deman · 01-10-2007 09:52AM

I would have taken the Red Bull out of his hand and threatened him with the law and demanded a free trip home otherwise be reported for drinking a high-caffine drink while driving.

The responses to the OP have been side-splittingly funny. Good lads for cheering me up on this dreary Monday morning.

No no no, Griffith avenue, not griffiths avenue.

I bet you're a taxi driver

I love this.

Bet the op won't show up around here for a while.

Board-in-work · 01-10-2007 05:45PM

It's a good job he wasn't on the coke - I've seen what that does to people.

Kate Moss is a mess these days. Perhaps we should help you draft an indignant letter to the Garda?

Dear Sir,

I wish to express my utter horror....etc etc.....(insert next line)

GLaDOS · 01-10-2007 06:09PM

I'd say the OP hit google after reading the replies

Then started banging his head off the screen

Cheeky_gal · 01-10-2007 06:27PM

LOL!!! aaaaw OP thank you...you've given me sucha laugh! haha that was tooooo funny!!!

01-10-2007 06:40PM

Fantastic!

It usually bugs me when people don't read the whole thread and then reply, but not this time.

growler · 01-10-2007 08:08PM

Whats the world coming to when a law abiding, upstanding member can't get a taxi without the sight of taxi drivers swigging soft drinks in the early hours of the morning. tut . wouldn't have happened in my day.

OP, Welcome back after your years in that cave, also maybe worth noting that all those people you will see walking around talking to themselves aren't clinically insane, they're using mobile telephones. And they have the internet of computers now too.

Volvoboy · 01-10-2007 08:26PM

Taxiiiiiiiiii's it gives you wiings!!!!!!

-VB-

MikeHoncho · 01-10-2007 08:36PM

The real shocker here is if you check the op's public profile he is a medical student.:eek:

Imagine you died in a car crash and this guy reviewed your toxicology reports and deduced you were over the limit from heightened levels of mountain dew in your system. Your good name could be ruined.

MarkR · 01-10-2007 08:43PM

Lads, the driver clearly wasn't putting the fear of god, nor giving 110% to his driving.

As for what I would have done. I would have posted on boards. It's the only thing a sane man would do.

ZOMG! My house is being robbed! They is stealing my xbox 360 and Halo!

If you thought it was alcoholic you should have called the cops instead of posting about it on the internet hours later.

I can't believe all of you think this is a laughing matter-the driver was drinking Red Bull FFS :mad: OP-next time you see this happening make sure you get his number and a physical description so you can call the gardai immediately.

or air traffic control

GhostInTheRuins · 01-10-2007 08:57PM

Haha, looks like he was back at half seven but didn't have the guts to post. You should all be ashamed of yourselves, you's scared him off. :mad:

No wonder our hospitals have massive waiting lists.

OP: I refuse to operate on someone who is intoxicated, he was drinking 7UP earlier, straight from the bottle!

Spook_ie · 01-10-2007 10:18PM

I'm realy sorry but I have to stand up and be counted, its not something that I can deny anymore.....

I'm a reformed secret drinker

Cuddlesworth · 01-10-2007 10:54PM

You should thank the lucky stars he wasn't drinking that H2O stuff. You could have ended up going into a ditch.

Keith186 · 01-10-2007 11:03PM

Maybe it was this guy drinking red bull and that's why the cops pulled him over

Trojan911 · 01-10-2007 11:21PM

Thank God the OP does'nt get into my cab on a Sat night. I have a die hard core of six stunning young gals that I pick up regularly in my Galaxy from the same address every Sat night... The same one always jumps into the front seat with two jelly vodka shots (one for her & one for me & the invite to the house party after) I always decline the shot but one night I will head for the party after......

Savman · 02-10-2007 01:00AM

Nothing new here just another taximan wingin' it.

Sorry.

Pinker · 02-10-2007 01:28AM

WTF???...I dont think this is funny at all:rolleyes: ...it just goes to show how deranged after hours gone of late...OP hats off to you, btw did you get much help when you reported it?...
The rest of you guys need to grow up, I guess this one of the faults of the Celtic Tiger= diminished responsibilty...:mad:
