‘Roches Town Taxi Service’ is Shit
Posted on December 21, 2006 - Filed Under Life-In-General |
Can you really expect good service from cretins who can’t even spell their company’s name correctly (it should be ‘Rochestown’)? Perhaps not, but you should at least be able to expect them to actually bother showing up when you order a cab from them. Sadly, this is not the case. Having spoken to an affable enough guy on the phone ordering the taxi, I waited for 20 minutes or so before I got a call from the taxi driver.
He asked was the house with a Murphy’s ‘For Sale’ sign in front of it mine. I hadn’t mentioned anything like this in my directions so I don’t know how he came to think whatever house this was belonged to me. This stupid asswipe then proceeded to more or less blame me for his own inability to follow simple directions. I was then trying to explain to him how to reach my house, when he interjected with some unintelligible babble like “Is it the first or second intersection?”. He seemed quite taken by this little phrase of his, and so he repeated it a few times. Exactly what “intersections” he was talking about I do not know; the road leading to my house doesn’t have any.
Clearly becoming frustrated with his innate retardedness, he tersely requested “accurate directions”. Since I wasn’t able to think of an intersections en route to my house, I began from the beginning. The driver obviously felt that this task was beyond him however, and said something like “Look, leave it”, before hanging up like the surly son of a bitch that he undoubtedly is.
Ordinarily, I would just be annoyed by such insolence and get another cab. However, since all taxi services are busy at this time of year I was left with no alternatives, and so had to forego my trip into Turner’s Cross to retrieve my car from the garage where it had been serviced.
So, in summation, fuck you Roches Town Taxi Service.

I could have told you that, the ‘company’ is just one cowboy guy. He takes calls to his cell phone and then ques them up in order of where the nearest person and fastest buck is. Don’t use him. Walking ftw \o/
What does “ftw \o/” mean, pray tell?
ftw == for teh win. l337 sp34k for ‘all the way’ or well.. you get it
and \o/ is ascii art for a guy celebrating with his arms in the air.
