No, this is not Phil's Taxi Service

Posted on July 2, 2005 By admin

My phone number is one-off from a taxi serice. The taxi is 918, I'm 819. This means that once in a while, we get the occasional random phone call (usually either really late or really early) asking for a cab.

This morning, I spent 2 minutes arguing with a little old lady that no, this wasn't Phil's Taxi Service:

LOL: I'd like a taxi please
me: I'm sorry, you have a wrong number
LOL: No I don't, this is Phil's Taxi Service
me: I'm sorry ma'am, but it's not.
LOL: Yes it is, I have the number on the card right in front of me XXXXXXXX918
me: You've reached XXXXXXXX819.
LOL: That's what I said. Now I'd like a cab.
me: *silence*
me: I'm really sorry ma'am, but this is a private flat, not a taxi service
LOL: Oh bother (she actually said that) *hangs up*

I was told off because I wouldn't send a cab out to her. If I'd have been just a bit more evil, I'd have taken her address down and hung up way before the end of that stupid conversation…

Quote of the day

WHO KNOWS WHAT EVIL LURKS IN THE HEART OF MEN? The Death of Rats looked up from the feast of potato. SQUEAK, he said. Death waved a hand dismissively. WELL, YES, OBVIOUSLY *ME*, he said. I JUST WONDERED IF THERE WAS ANYONE ELSE.
--(Terry Pratchett, The Truth)
