A taxi rant – it’s all about service people!

This is her problem not mine and yet… and yet…

Let me tell you the story.  I flew into Perth today from Geraldton where I’ve been the last couple of days – stories coming soon – I met so many interesting people – but anyway…

The queue for a taxi was exhaustingly long but I had my book and was quite happy to read it as I shoved my bag with my foot.  

As we waited a voice apologised over the PA system and said that taxis had been called.  

Fine, whatever… I’d got to a good bit.

Anyway eventually I’m at the front of the queue and I have a woman driver who looks friendly, she pops the boot and helps me load my small case and laptop.

“Where to love?”

“Please take me to work in the city.” I had to pick up my car.

Was it my imagination or did she sigh?

Anyway I settled back and read my book and sooner than I wanted – I’d got to another good bit – we were pulling up outside my workplace.

I hand over my cabcharge.

These days they are those little cards with a magnetic strip down the back – thinnish cardboard.

“Do you have another card?”

“Thanks, I hate these cards, they never work in my machine – even when I use two together.”  She swipes the cards repeatedly.

“Dammit I’m going to have to use a slip.”

So making conversation – as you do in the awkward silence while waiting to sign the slip – I say “Are you just starting your shift?”

“Yes just started.  And I came all the way down Dianella for this.”

As if it were my fault.

I was speechless.

“Can you get your own bag out of the boot?”

“Er yes… of course.” I say and scoot out of the cab.

And I’m SO angry.

Angry at her for making me feel bad because she didn’t get a big fare to, I don’t know, Bunbury or something and even more angry with myself for feeling bad!

And the ironic thing?  As she drives off I notice that she’s the driver of a Silver Service cab.

Yeah.  Right.

The chicken of discontent

The sign that he loves me

This is our bed. Pretty ordinary. You’ll note the second duvet as required by the freezing cold mornings lately.

What I see when I look at this bed is that Groover is not angry with me. I’m in his good books.

So what is the sign that this is the case?

He has placed the big cushions on the floor rather than leaving them on my pillow.

That’s right. If I was in the bad books I’d have to take the pillows off myself.

Subtle yes?

In fact too subtle for this little canard noir. He had to eventually tell me about this sign of his love.

I think it stems back to his childhood. He was the youngest in a family of four, his next oldest sibling six years his senior.

As a youngster, Groover was often frustrated by his older brothers and sister. They were bigger, cleverer, meaner. They could gang up on him…

So to express his displeasure Groover used to put a toy chicken (or it might have been a rabbit – but he thinks it was a chicken) on the offender’s bed.

The chicken of discontent.
