 “What right do you have to adjust my air conditioner’s ventilation …”

 

The air conditioner's vent was probably the only action that cab driver has had in years.

A background investigation and surveillance would confirm the truth!

 

Video and still shots might get his fine money back!

Or maybe just by beeing a paying customer that pays for the trip in the comfort of a perfectly cool taxi.

But on the other hand, nothing is surprising. Today they even ask their customers to buy them lunch. A bunch of morons!

He could have put the 1000 bahts to better use and hired the real thing. 

[Beats56]

Bad behavior. What is exactly is.a additude ajustment? Is some drill Sargent chewing him out for three hours. I have no idea. Anyone know?

 

[pattayadgw]

I wonder if the 'attitude adjustment' is similar to what the 'red guard' did to people in China back on the 60's?

[realenglish1]

1000 Baht fines do not hurt a driver 

 

Make them feel the pain a little and they will stop Raise it to 5'000 Baht and you will see a world of difference

 

In their attitude  Money is the great attitude adjuster

A foul mouthed taxi driver, what a suprise!

Tomorrow someone will find forgetful shopkeeper who short changed a revengeful, spiteful, lazy, spotty, spoit brat of a student and be wounded for life by their viral facebook social media hissy fit.

[wakeupplease]

[SiSePuede419]

Hardly. That little Government-sponsored social experiment included public beheadings, kangaroo courts and other victims (virtually the whole social caste of China's well-educated, other intellectuals, landlords and nouveau rich - all way to uppity for an insecure tyrant group) sentenced to years of torture and slavery. If you were literate, that condemned you as proof of dangerous intellectualism. The authorities here, at the moment, can only dream of such power and nurture their envy.

[Moonmoon]

Only 1000 Baht? Thats definitely a "cheap whore"... jus joking. Dont judge.

[jethro69]

At least the kids got him reported to the police. The outcome, well soso but at least it hurts, maybe a little, hope it hurts a lot. A stupid farang would have not even know how to handle it, so kudos to the students.

Manners, Use of.

Whore or not, it's his job to drive his PAYING customers from A to B and not to pass judgemrnt. 

Highly UNPROFESSIONAL!

Send him back to his buffaloe and rice paddy. Maybe there he'll learn to keep his mouth shut.

Don't be silly. She is to blame, if she wasn't a whore then he wouldn't be forced to call her one and she didn't choose his taxi he would be a thousands baht better off.. Damned whores!

The whole case was based on a great misunderstanding. The driver actually said; I`m paid to take you from A to B, not take you stupid tour.

Whorses for courses. 

 

We don't do a lot of things. Scream in text, elevate coherence and speeling, refrain from non sequiturs, and we never cite professionalism. A very dubious concept.

 

All light hearted dj

[Aussie69]

Now that he has been fined 1000 and forced to endure 3 hours of training he is probably going to be even more disgruntled

Attitude adjustment?? Hmm maybe you have to sit in a chair and listen to Mozart for 24 hours kind of a mental lobotomy. No insult to Mozart lovers of course.
