    So, taxi driver called me bitch this morning.. i am writing about it here ..everyone is protecting driver and moderator is telling me this not my soap box. Is this normal???
    This is not first time something like this happens here. Are you so obsessed to protect your "locals" even on the internet forum?
    Why did you close this thread???

    oh my god.

    It has nothing to do with you being from elsewhere (hi, I'm from elsewhere too!) but it has everything to do with your general negative attitude. And the fact that maybe your reading comprehension isn't up to scratch so you seem to always suspect the worst, ie the pm you sent to me to reply to my post that you blatantly misunderstood, and misunderstanding pook's post in your thread as well.

    So, like, I don't think that the taxi driver was, like, right, like, but starting your diatribe with, like, so, like, makes you sound like a, like, person the taxi driver refered to you as , like.

    So, why did the taxi driver refer to you in such a manner?

    I'm not from Galway either.

    Life must be difficult for you Maja, when you feel that everybody and everything in the world is against you.

    Jesus...you're all a bunch of misery holes. That taxi driver sounds like a horrible person and the op has every right to be pissed off. I'm sure she's shocked to see so many people defend a taxi driver when on another thread they'd have vastly different opinions. I think sometimes people act like pricks for the sake of it

    Srsly.
    srsly?

    So you didn't read http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=1397 or http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/faq.php?faq=bie_faq#faq_bie_faq_guidelines or http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=231026

    And then you acuse me of xenophobia when the only knowledge I have of you is that you wanted to get a cab to a vet this morning but didn't take it because life happened?

    I wasn't defending the taxi driver. I was offering an opinion.

    Here's some genuine, from-the-heart advice: Cop yourself on fast.

    I'm only going to lock this, but if you pull this crap again you'll find yourself banned from the forum for wasting the moderators' (plural, possessive) time.
