After I typed this I realised it was quite dull. But illustrates how drunks think odd things might be normal....
Waiting to give my daughter a lift home from work, 11.45pm.
Bloke opens the back door of the car and says 'where are you going mate'
'Nowhere you're going, I'm not a taxi'
'Oh, sorry'
Walks off with his GF, comes back 5 mins later, taps on the window
'Has Bar **** called you?'
'No, why would they, I told you already I'm not a taxi'
'The bloke over there said they had done'
'How would they know my number, and if they did why would they call me when I'm not a taxi driver'
'Listen mate no need to get gobby, I'm only asking, they said they'd called you'
'No they didn't, because they don't know me, just piss off'
'What you making a deal about, you have a mobile, they might have called you, stop giving me a hard time, and step out if you want to make it a big deal'
GF pulls him away and I think 'can't wait to tell online strangers such a dreary story'
Lock your doors in future
"What time you on till "
"you been busy"
All said in a Peter Kay accent of course .....
Thanks for the waste of 20 seconds of my life
😉
missed a free cash opportunity there
what was the GF like?
timbur - let me know when you have 5 minutes, there's more material I'm working on.
'Listen mate no need to get gobby, I'm only asking, they said they'd called you'
Seems a fair comment.
Why were you getting gobby anyway ?

How would you react if your back door was being breached by a drunken bum?
His back door was being breached ?
Well he never mentioned that.

I suppose you could have tried being polite and explaining rather than being a sarcastic bell-end..
but maybe that's just me...?
😀
Yeah I saw that. Where's the bit that his back door was breached ? There's no mention that the geezer entered his car.
I'd already done all the polite explaining stuff. You got the abridged version.

Fair that a Bar 400 yards away and out of sight said they phoned a member of the public in a car that has no outward signs of being a taxi?

No, I meant the "no need to get gobby" bit. Seems like a fair comment to me.
Polite was getting me nowhere ernie, I was tired, emotional, these things happen. I'll apologise to the gobby drunk next time it happens.
fancy an airport run 2 am
I always take "Babs Cabs"... local cabs for local people... we'll have no trouble here.. !
*League of Gentlemen content*
Far too many mentalists about these days to even consider getting out for a bit of toe to toe action!!
The bloke was Snakebite and I claim my £5.
Did they need to go on a diet?
idave drives for lucky7. Maybe if you had dried your hair properly instead of going out with a towel wrapped around your head in a rush, you wouldn't have been 'genuinely' mistaken for a taxi. 8)
In their defence I have staggered out of the pub into the passenger seat of a car that had the temerity to be the same colour as mine and was being driven by a brunette lady the same height as my missus.
On the other hand we used to get a lot of wrong numbers looking for taxis. Initially I'd tell them it was a wrong number, but after a while the temptation to tell them it would be "there in 10 minutes" got too much...
What tyres for a taxi?
Clearly the drunks congnitive powers were somewhat dulled by a night on the lager.
I'd have been a little brusque with drunk too after 5 minutes of explaining why im not a taxi for him. Well done on not beating him to a pulp with your penis. 😆

I don't understand. 🙁
I remember when I was at school in Coventry some years ago, a lot of taxis were dark red peugeot 305s. My friends mum had the same colour and model and was forever telling drunk people that it wasn't a taxi. I think she sold it as a result.
A bit like having a cream coloured Mercedes in Germany (at least the towns I have been in)
oliverd1981 is just being racist
I had a white Austin Montego as a company car (the shame!) when I lived in Bristol.
I stopped driving in the city after about 10 at night - people kept climbing in at traffic lights or jumping out into the road to stop me.

If he genuinely thought you were a taxi, he's totally misunderstood the principle - usually a customer tells you where they want to go, not ask where you're going 🙂

The only car I've not been stopped/walked out on and hailed in is my celica as it's a bit noisy and they probably don't want to be embarrassed by a taxi that sounds that loud 🙂
But ultimately in this case it was daft to try to reason with him, not a taxi- jog on is all they need to know. If you start baffling them with "why would a bar have called a private number" bla bla they'll get confused and want to answer back.
This is useless without pics of aforementioned girlfriend.
I was tired, emotional
But driving a car? It's all coming out now...
[i]I was tired, emotional[/i]
but not as tired and emotional as a newt?
5 mins? No chance.
Unless you happen to know about Mercedes auto gear boxes and can fix it cheap? If so I'll listen for ages and even make coffee and bring cake.
