Last week I called for two taxis at 3 am in the morning for my flight to Dubai. Both taxis arrived on time. One was an Indian or Pakistani or something, while the other was an Australian.
The Australian taxi driver came up to out house, knocked and informed us that the taxi's are waiting outside. And he also helped carry our bags into the taxi.
The Indian/Pakistani taxi driver just stood at his taxi and waited.
Why do migrants come here and give themselves a bad name? This is not the first time I have noticed the stark difference between a migrant taxi driver and an Australian taxi driver. Migrants are just not fucking courteous at all. Its like as though their parents never taught them an ounce of manners. So they come to find a better life in Australia with the crude upbringing.
Am I being racists? I too am not as polite as Australians are. But I learn fast. I am more courteous these days because it makes me feel good when someone is polite to me and I feel good being polite and courteous to others.
Why cant migrant taxi drivers learn that?
I am not saying all migrant taxi drivers are like that. I had an Iranian taxi driver one morning when I sent my car for service and he was wonderful - courteous and pleasant - I had a good ride in his cab. Now, why cant all migrants learn some mannerism???
