I cringe when people start getting the hiccups sitting behind me and this is from past expeirence (19 years).......My worst one was when all the carrots went down the side windows and down the air vents! That car stank afterwards :shock: .I must admit that i have been lucky in that nobody has spewed over me YET..... This sounds like a sick post

When i first started i rented a car on 60/40, I picked this old guy up from a pub and he only lived a couple of miles down the road, we set off with him in the front and he started groaning loudly.
I asked if he was ok and he said "yes im fine just get me home", when i got him there he paid the fare and i went around to help him out, got him to his door and made sure he went in ok, got back to my car, got in and when i glanced at the seat he'd pi$$ed and crapped himself, it was thick all over the seat :shock: I banged on the door but he wouldnt answer and being a bit green i left it at that.
Luckily they had spare seats at work, so it was changed and back on the road in 1/2hr after spraying a bottle of the base op's perfume to hide the stink! :?

I must be very lucky, or I'm due a bucket load.

The worst has usually ended up on the outside of the door, which has made for a good job as I charge them for cleaning the car.

A kid in the back opening the door as we went round a roundabout! That was pretty scary and it put a huge crease in the door! :sad:

I find the biggest problem is parents letting todlers eat crisps/sweets and chocolate that usually ends up on the seats !!! requiring an immediate wipedown of the seat

The worst one recently was a very drunk ladies darts team on finals night !! picked them up at midnight with various prizes bottles of wine cups and an easter egg !

I could hear a lot of noise scuffling etc in the back and realised that they were fighting over the easter egg little did i realise that the easter egg was getting eaten with the various "ladies" and one man snatching at it trying to grab chunks off it whilst the person who had won it was trying to stop them as it was the end of a 16 hour shift i went straight home and checked the car in the morning

They couldn't have scattered the chocolate more if they'd tried !! suffice to say less than 10% ended up in their mouths and nearly every seat had to be wiped down as well as quite a job getting it off the floor.

We had a car on one firm I worked for that always smelt of curry when you put the heater on! A punter threw up after a night out and it hit the windscreen and slid down into the demister vent it made it's way into the heater matrix and cooked every time the heater was turned on! Nice! :sad:

I remember picking up these drunks one night who'd gotten kebabs and they were eating them on the way home, which was about a twenty minute drive and on dark country roads.

So we got to the other end and one bloke had on cream coloured chinos which were just covered in red chilli sauce.

By some miracle there was absolutely nothing on the car seats :lol:

Had them all in my car.

Worst one was working a Friday night for a wee bit of airport cash as I was going on holiday the next morning. Got a hire that took me back near home just after midnight and I was thinking great that will do me for the night. 200yards from drop off the wee f@@@@er but the entire nights drink and pizza buffet all over the back seats.

I was out cleaning the car to the back of 3 in the morning before getting to the airport for 6am, and my poor wee mum had to go round and air the car for me while I was away.

Same car was christened 3 days after buying it brand new with a bottle of voddy over the back seat and has since been pi$$ed in twice and had a bottle of the buckfast tonic wine dropped on the back carpet.

Paisley taxi's you can check the mileage by the seat stains ...
