    Do you usually get in the front or back of a taxi?

    I dont feel comfortable in the front so I always sit in the back, I notice that most people that sit in the front are men!

    So do you usually sit in the front or back?

    I like to tie myself to the roof rack.

    You get a better view that way.

    Rarely in the font usually in the back whether on my own or with friends.

    The front if I'm on my own, the back if I have company

    The rare time I am on my own I usually sit in the front.
    Never when I am with someone. If there too many for us all to sit in the back I am never the one to sit infront just the way it happens

    In the back behind the driver - that way when he pulls up at the fake address you gave him, you can choke the prick with his seatbelt and rob all his country and western cd's.

    In the front.

    But then again, I'm a taxi driver.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 770 ✭✭✭sgb


    When you get put in the boot, then you have a problem

    I sit in the front on the way out for a night out and in the back when I'm coming home loaded :D

    I always sit in the back if I'm with people, always sit in the front if I'm on my own. I quite like to chat to the driver.

    A lot of girls I know say this is a no-no, and that I should sit in the back because it's "safer". Which is ridiculous.

    I always sit it the front if Im on my own... Or if Im with a few friends and theres no room in the back. Dont think its any more or less safe that way, I like an aul chat =)

    I dont like taxi drivers, they moan too much. I always sit in the back so I dont have to listen to them.

    I get in the back like a bonafide Hollywood moviestar. I find blokes who get in the front usually have some sort of inferiority complex, like they have to "compete" with the driver etc.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,822 ✭✭✭sunflower27


    Few drinks on me I'll get in the front for the chat and a bit of banter. Otherwise the back :)

    If dropping off, the front, if trying to cop off, the back.

    Only really happens with Dublin taxi drivers. They are the most whinging race of people on the face of the earth.. it's as if there's a factory in Dublin that clones Joe Duffy, teaches them how to drive, then gives them a licence to taxi people around the streets of the capital.

    I always sit in the front. Even when I'm with a group of people. I'm usually the most sober out of the lot and feel bad for the taxi driver having to listen to a load of drunk people. :/ You do sometimes end up paying most of the fare if you sit in the front which is a pain...

    I don't understand why you would be scared to sit in the front...there are surely scarier things out there!

    Yeah out of dublin taxi drivers are so cosmopolitan and on the days off they visit art galleries

    Sitting in the back makes you an ignorant c.unt.
    Unless obviously you are getting a taxi with another person. You would sit with the other person.

    I've heard alot of people say they rather sit in the back when alone. Which just screams of ignorance. Taxi chat is all bollocks anyways. Its just being civil with someone ... and this is coming from a person who thinks they are all a bunch of ripping off gits.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,847 ✭✭✭HavingCrack


    Never really thought about it, just whichever door happens to be the nearest :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,822 ✭✭✭sunflower27


    Funny when you go to get in the front and the poor driver has to chuck all the stuff on the front passenger seat into the back somewhere to be sorted out later. Mwaaahhhhhhhaaaaaaaa


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 492 ✭✭Sl!mCharles


    You're paying for the taxi, sit wherever the **** you want.

    I never sit in front. I dont want to make conversation with the driver. I am paying for his service please just bring me home and dont chat about the weather.

    Usually the front and sometimes I say this

    Are-you-busy-what-time-are-you-on-til? Really fast.

    That's two questions and I get a secret thrill if they only pick up one and answer it.
