You are correct, vagina is definitely not the correct term here.

I had no idea this was a thing!! I've always wondered why I tend to get my worst migraines on the weekend, usually after a very busy week. I had started to wonder if it was something psychosomatic because at that time I was still struggling to convince a doctor that my migraines were real (they told me I probably just had allergies, the sexist morons).

I acknowledged in my comment that there have been incidents with Uber drivers. What I'm really wondering is why taxi drivers are so consistently huge fucking assholes. I run into people all day long that are doing their jobs, and they're not wide eyed newbies. Sure there is a jerk here and there, that's life. Why is it almost every single time I'm in a cab that the driver is rude, condescending, driving like an asshole, etc.?

This is a good question. I did Uber for a short time. It's true that the drivers make pretty much no money, that Uber doesn't properly insure so the drivers get fucked a lot of the time, etc. It's not true that they don't do background checks, but I digress. The reason people like Uber is because 9 times out of 10 taxi drivers are rude, terrible drivers, and make their passengers uncomfortable. There have been incidents with Uber drivers as well, but most of the time your driver is just some random person that is pretty pleasant.

I have taken more taxis than I can count. The only one I can remember that was even close to being nice was a guy that drove around in circles because he didn't know where he was going, so I eventually told him I needed to get out because he had run the fare way up and I didn't have enough money on me to pay anymore than what I already owed. I say he was almost nice because he sheepishly said he would take me the rest of the way home for whatever cash I had on me. Should have been like an $8 trip, ended up being like $22.

Ok, so maybe I can try this one more time. I'm not asking about a comparison to Uber. I hate Uber as a company, and I don't use them. Let's not talk about Uber, since I haven't asked any questions about Uber.

I'm asking why cab drivers in particular, are such giant assholes all the time, despite the fact that the vast majority of other service workers (who yes, have to work the night shift, work in places that are terrible areas, deal with all different segments of the public, are not on their first day of the job, etc.) basically act socially normal? What about driving cabs attracts these people?
