“People who complain about the way the ball bounces are usually the ones who dropped it”
Taxis were in short supply on Thursday morning as hundreds of taxi drivers were off the roads because of a police lecture. The lecture was on etiquette and how to deal politely with passengers, taxi drivers said. ~ Gulf News
Talk about the height of cribbing! People in Dubai have cribbed long about how the taxi-drivers are mean, how some of them don't have basic manners or etiquette. And when the Dubai Police did something about it, they crib again.
In no other country is the police held responsible if taxi drivers are polite or rude. The Dubai Police, however must be praised for taking initiative in organizing a lecture for the cab drivers. This was done surely in the interest of the public.
Then maybe just for the sake of cribbing, people say the weirdest of reasons, or maybe this guy was all excited talking to the press and wanted to crib about the first thing that came to his mind.
I went to a nearby hotel and they offered me a limousine as an alternative. It cost me an extra five dirhams. I was getting late for work, and I had no other option but to take it," said one commuter, Altaf, who took a limousine to work. ~ Gulf News
Oh the pity! This guy is so full of himself, he does not realize that the hotel was kind to give him a limo for five dirhams more than a cab fare. And trust me, even if the hotel had offered this guy from the street a Rolls Royce or Helicopter ride to his office for just five dirhams more than a cab fare, he still would have cribbed.
“The people who live in a golden age usually go around complaining how yellow everything looks”
