Taxi drivers

Today's school day was quite broing, as usual, but 'slacker' than usual. Out of five one-hour periods, first one was some form class admin stuff, then chem teacher had parental care leave and there was no relief teacher. Half of math period was free, then second half was spent doing a few questions, or slacking. But I still have to complete 20 comprehensions, apparently the essay is to be handed in next week. But at least I borrowed my higher-chinese friend's book, I'll copy his answers :3.

Taking the cab home today, and I had another encounter with a weird driver. I've encountered many types of taxi drivers, once or twice females, some rude, some exceedingly nice, some flirty, some braggy, and some just crazy. Not exactly crazy, but just plain weird.

I've had before a taxi uncle who scolded me for not having enough money to pay him, I was a few cents short, and he drove around a much longer way, causing a fare which was supposed to be $10-15 to become $20++. And then I've met before those that gave me discounts, and wanted to give even more just because I was a student, those that rushed and drove as quickly as they could just to help me get to school on time, even when I never requested them to, even though I wasn't even late. I've met one before that talked about how he didn't know the directions that well, and that passengers should know their way and not scold him for not knowing his. He also gave me a whole long lecture on how students shouldn't be late for school, and how not to be late. One of the most memorable ones I've met, would be the one that kept bragging about his singing, saying that he posted videos on YouTube, asking me to watch him, subscribe to him, etc etc. And then he started singing throughout the ride up until the end, trying to persuade me to watch his videos. Not that I'm dissing his dreams or anything, people should have dreams, But your singing is...not quite good enough to become a singer.

Today, my dad couldn't find his keys and he told me to take a cab home from school so I could open the door for him, and then I've met yet another eccentric taxi driver. Today's driver, I think, has ADHD. When I first got on the cab, he we as murmuring to himself. And then later after I told him where to drive to, he started talking about my school and all. Then he started singing a song, and then whistling, and then at a red light, he was so restless that he start tapping/banging his hands around the car. After a while later, he started singing all of a sudden, again. And for the rest of the ride, he was singing, and it's funny how he struggled to keep his voice stable as the cab rode through bumps on the road, making the whole vehicle shake and all. It was entertaining, yes, but I'd rather not meet another one of those weird drivers, it was way too awkward for my tastes.
