Had one tonight, jumped the taxi queue in front of a young lad in a wheelchair, she pulled the door open that hard and wide to open it thought she may have damaged it, I could feel the blood rushing to my head, I was seathing, she got in talking on mobile, so I says get out, she says I have to get somewhere, I says get out now

So I whips out smartly round to the rear door, ok out you get, she tried wamming the door shut as she left, but me had hold of it

cheeky git, not my fault she had problems, giving my door grief is a no no

another thing I can't be doing with is when their getting out and they use their feet to boot the door open, also have you noticed how people get in a saloon cab, three people will get in the back using one door, beats hen racing does that

Surprised she didn't get a smack on the hooter from the rest in the queue. :?

Even more annoying is when they drop their change on the roof so that they can count it.

Even more annoying is when they make a silly comment about how difficult it is to get back out.

I said to one the other week that she was welcome to use the door beside her, but she said it was easier to get out the other door, even though she had seconds earlier moaned about it.

I think some do it merely because the othe side is in traffic, but I think it's generally the nearest door that they go for.

I had two female the other week - both got in at the traffic side at the rank, then when we go to the other end they again both got out at the traffic side.
