@OP I remember one cab driver upon hearing my drop off point was KFC asked me why and then spent the majority of the journey telling that I shouldn't be eating there because I'm a woman and should've cooked instead lol

crackhaus:

What was your response?

If you do not need companion while going to work or anywhere, You can always avoid their loquacious tendencies and their mouth odour by driving yourself....it is not difficult to figure out...

Or

you can always introduce yourself after his introductions and politely tell them that you are not in the mood to talk...You got alot on your mind...in a polite manner..It is not hard...This world is just very easy to live in you know?....Though not a Nigerian thing but a lot of people like to talk to stranger instead of people that they know.and cab drivers are the real deal for people like that.... a lot of cab drivers has helped strangers with good advise when they were on cross roads in terms of decision...

I took a cab going to work one day, as soon as I got in I knew I was in for it.

The cabbie first of all introduced himself and I remembered thinking, what is my business with your name?

Next thing, how long have you been in this job? I told him. Next question; where are you from? I told him.

Then this one; are you married? No answer. I brought out my phone and started scrolling through.

After 5 minutes, just 5 minutes! he started talking about his landlord (like I care). There was a heavy traffic on Ikorodu road.

I hated myself that day, because I was having menstrual cramps and being tortured by a cabbie that won’t stop talking!

From the corner of my eyes, I could see him staring at me like he would pounce on me at any minute.

Then all of a sudden; do you know you are pretty? I felt hot blood rushing down my face. I almost told him to shut up and drive!

Why in God’s name would he compliment me? oh my gosh, this was too much for me to handle.

I reached inside my bag and brought out my earpiece, tuned to my favorite radio station and started clapping and nodding my head.

He carried on talking, I couldn’t believe it. By this time we were at CMS, I couldn’t take it any longer. I told him to stop that I needed to use the ATM machine.

I jumped down like I was thrown out of the cab and crossed to the other side of the road and continued walking without looking back!

true that but many of them go overboard and start telling you stories you're not intrested in

You might take a cab going to work.idle jisting or listening to stories is the least of your issues. As you're already planning or praying in your mind how you want your day to go.sometimes you just want to rest and have a quiet time few minutes before work

At the same time on your way back from work you're tired hungry or sleepy do you think a chatter box driver will not likely annoy you Tillman you snap at him to shut up

I laughed lol

Why not use Uber.

I discovered that in this world, there's no where good manners and Polite statement cannot take anyone to...The tone of voice one uses to pass a message across matters a lot.....If you politely tell a cab driver that whatever he is selling you were not buying, I believe he will understand .....But I believe my people are simply aggressive and that aggressive tone could come out as being rude..that why some wallow in silence instead of speaking out....

When will taxi drivers learn to shut the f up when driving with a passenger on board? I lost count of the number of times I have had to pick a cab and get pestered with never-ending stupid topics by a cabbie.

The most annoying part is that, I pay little or no attention, yet he wont stop talking. How can a cabbie expect me to enjoy a conversation coming from a mouth that reeks of bad breath?

One very peculiar thing about cabbies is that, most of them are perverts, have you noticed? I don’t understand why a cab driver, would pick a total stranger and then starts a personal conversation.

If the conversations were very formal, I won’t have to bother, but what freaks me out is that they start asking you personal questions like; are you married? are you single? got kids? and so on.

This is what many people go through almost on a daily basis, this is just one of the many encounters I have had with cabbies.

Lately too, I was in a cab with another annoying cabbie, he went as far as telling me things that are highly sexual. One look at him I knew he was crazy.

I don’t have a thing with talking with cabbies, but there has to be limits, it doesn’t have to be too personal and I realized most cabbie are very nosy.

Taxi drivers have been reported severally to raping their female passengers, so if you are one of those starting or igniting erotic conversations with a cab driver, remember they are men and have blood flowing through their veins too!
