What kind of a taxi driver will you be?

Asked by mazingerz88 (29260points) October 18th, 2011

Hypothetically, if you find yourself a taxi driver, how would you have been dressed and how would you fare? Would you decorate your cab and with what? Just a fun question. : )

I would be so boring. I’d dress in jeans and t-shirts and I wouldn’t decorate my cab. I would, however, never get lost, even when the GPS was on the fritz. I may not look like much, but I will get you where you want to go. And sometimes I will even get you to the places you didn’t know you wanted to go!

I wouldn’t want a bunch of accessories in my car. It would just be whatever I needed. I also probably wouldn’t talk very much. I would wear whateever I wear now.

An evening gown. With sequins. I’d smoke a lot and talk about chinchillas.
I’ve only been in a taxi like twice in my whole life.

I’d be the kind of taxi driver who wouldn’t speak much, but will speak if the person I’m transporting does. I’d dress comfortably, I’d avoid constricting pants and shirts because who gives a damn how I look? I’m a fucking taxi driver. Same goes for decorations, I wouldn’t have any, anyways, but if I did, it’d be for practicality mostly. And I’d put a hidden camera in the car just because.

Dressed casual but official. Polite, but perceptive enough to know when conversation is welcome. On time, honest – and always on the side of the customer. Choosing the fastest route, to get the client from A to B. Or, if he/she is in the mood, choose a scenic route.

(And soon out of a job to Google driverless cars)

Cute idea for a question – one of the best I’ve seen in years.

I’d love to have a cash cab type of taxi and play trivia games with my fares all day long.

@mazingerz88 Shit yeah. I had some phase as a teen, where I watched it over and over lol.

@Symbeline I do have a model statue of Taarna like this. And every time I watch her flying sequence, that glorious music just leaves me speechless every time. I’m hoping one day I could score this one.

My kind of taxi driving. Lol!

I’m gonna go with demented bobble heads over every free square inch of space I have in the car. I also would speak with a made up accent that is not from anywhere. I would always drive with my window down and slap the side of my door when stuck in traffic.

One that would practice personal hygiene.

I would have a Cuban black and white 50s jobbie fresh from Freddie Fender’s repair shop. I would have a couple big dice hanging from the rear view mirror and wear dark glasses and wear dark green shirt and trousers. No hat. My Brooklyn accent, would give me away. Oh heck just picture Jackie Gleason in the 2nd month of his diet, that would be me.

Splish splash Yellow cab service.
Dressed in all white with yellow goose beak, rubber ducky on the roof, and a “honky” horn.

I’d wear a mustache and a cap with a bill and talk in my lowest voice. My cab would be smoke free. It would have blue upholstery and silver colored trim and I’d keep it spic and span. Only soft music would be played, so soft that the passenger would have to ask me to turn it up to hear it really clearly. Despite this, I’d be a total failure. I’d get lost all the time.
