The life of a taxi driver in small town USA


graffiti-497164_1280.jpg

When I first got the job I didn't know it would be such long hours, and the pay isn't hourly, its a percentage of the fare, which is fine, if the calls come in. Obviously right now I'm working, but here I am on steemit doing steemit things and not driving! That's fine by me, but if I'm not making much money doing the driving, I may just get on the ball and steemit!!

I think maybe Uber would be more of a money maker but again outta small town America, not many people will be able to afford it. Maybe I'm wrong, something definitely has to give! My goal was to get more people on steemit through my driving them, i have found not too many people want to talk let alone listen, so for now I'll do what I do until next time...

Taxi cab confessions

What would you do when a customer asks you to drive them across state lines for $200 a day?

Someone asked me this on my first night! Me being me knew the deal. He wanted me to be a mule...ummm... no thanks I am a mother, not losing everything I have gained over these years.

What would you do if someone was so drunk they couldn't find the door handle?

I've been there, this poor girl was so oblivious to the world around her, I parked the car, grabbed the keys, and walked her to her house unlocked the door for her and helped her inside.

What would you do if someone smelled so bad you couldn't breathe?

Me, I got pulled over! Lol!! The officer approaches the car and shines his light in the vehicle walks up to the passenger side and I rolled down the window, he asked if everything was ok, I said yes, just trying to get these guys home, he said you looked angry thinking to myself I was like hell yes I am angry officer!!! He takes my license back to his vehicle then moments later walks back to give me my ID, but wouldn't come all the way up to the car, lol. I again thought to myself, can you smell it officer! Probable cause lmao! SOS!!! He tells me get them home and stay safe!!! Now don't get me wrong I am not one to be rude, these are only a few of my experiences this far as a taxi driver, and it can be pretty interesting!

Hopefully there will be more exciting tales from the taxi driving, but for now this is what I got!

Most people are going home from work or going to work from home, no extremely telling tales but I'm sure there will be more to come! This town is full of interesting individuals!

I have gotten to talk to a few people about steemit, one is a professor at ball state university who is also a writer!!! I shared with him what we are doing with the #informationfinding championship and he seems like he is interested! I really hope he gets on board with steemit since he is also a student who loves networking!

Hopefully I will be able to keep talking and helping the people here and show them that with steemit and blockchain tech they can overcome their struggles!! I may be able to but again how does one show someone their future can be brighter if they don't see an issue?!
