Taxi conversations

Taxi drivers are the same everywhere in the world. They know everything about everything!

So I had some errands to do the other day and the easiest thing was to get a taxi and ask them to wait for me at each destination for a few mins while I did my jobs.

So I called the local taxi agency ('adjaans' in Farsi) and here's how the conversation went:

Driver: prices have gone up 20%
Me: what to do? I have work to do and my only option is a taxi
Driver: we thank God
Me (thinking): yes I'm sure your wife is thanking God for your increased income

Thankfully the ride only cost me 9000tomans (£2ish)
