Quoting libralady: I remember years ago, sitting the front cos' there was so many of us in the taxi, and the driver started to touch my leg  when he changed gear! I have never sat so close to a car door in all my life - my friends in the back thought it was funny  |
You (and your friends) thought it was funny?

Quoting AEnigma III: Quoting femme_fatal: Quoting AEnigma III: Quoting Trudy: Quoting turquoise: if ur female and alone,dont sit on the front seat next to driver,you should always sit on back seat cuz something more than being ripped off may happen,especially if ur a foreign.i dont mean that all the taxi dirivers are pervert or abuser or disturbing but some of them... |
Same here. Taxi drivers are universal in that I believe. |
Are you serious? Its not funny. If this happened in the UK the guy would be out of a job straight away and probably face prosecution. If any taxi driver touched me they would never have children again.... |
how about libra's post above?  |
Well, I guess she just thought it was funny - and didn't report him  |
She enjoyed being so close to the car door and got completely confused by the comments coming from the back seat.

to be honest I've never had any problems in a taxi in Istanbul before :-S I nearly always agree a price before I get in the taxi and not once has there been an argument about it when I got dropped off, even when the driver got totally lost looking for my hotel!
One time though I asked 2 taxi drivers near the blue mosque how much they thought it would be from kadikoy to sabiha gokcen, so got that amount of money out...the next day when I was in kadikoy I found a taxi, asked how much it would be and it was about 80 lira cheaper than what the other drivers had said!  bjk was not a happy bunny

Turquoise said: Dudu means ive just fart in turkish
It means MORE than farted in English. It is a childish word for a bowel movement! EWWW... like "bird doo doo" or as said to a child, "OH honey! Did you step in doo doo?"

Yep I thought it was funny - I was not alone! If I had been alone, I would have been out of the car whilst it was moving But then I would never have got in the front in the first place - I drew the short straw that night
