So, sitting at the airport tonight and this lady comes out for a taxi. I was not the first taxi in line, so this didn't really affect me directly, but it was still annoying to hear.
She hands one of her bags to the driver of the taxi ahead of mine and asks him not to start the meter until she gets her other baggage, which she has not received yet. (I have seen this take up to 15-25 minutes)
What the hell, lady? You're going to hold the guy up and keep him from getting another (possibly higher) fare, and you don't want to pay him for his time waiting for you?
I know you probably don't care anyway, but consider that time spent waiting for you increases the amount of time it takes us to re-enter the line at the airport. This can mean the difference between having 4 taxis in line ahead of us when we return, and having 10. Whether you know it or not, you are messing with our money when you do this, so please explain why you think you shouldn't pay for it!
