One common element is strange driver behavior. For example, drivers who tell really bad jokes but are so enthusiastic about it that it becomes funny. Another is unexpected passengers. Maybe a passenger brings in a really large or unusual pet. And also, unique vehicle decorations can be really funny, like a taxi filled with stuffed animals.
I remember a taxi ride where the driver was singing opera the whole way. He had a really powerful voice and was completely into it. It made the journey really interesting and funny. I couldn't stop laughing at how passionate he was about his singing.
Sure. Once I got into a taxi and the driver was singing along to every song on the radio at the top of his lungs. He was really into it and his voice was quite unique. It made the whole ride so hilarious.
Sure. One time, a taxi driver told me he once had a passenger who was a parrot trainer. The parrot was in a cage in the backseat and kept saying 'Hello' to every car that passed by. The driver said it was the most entertaining ride he'd ever had.
One time, I was in a South African taxi and the driver was singing along to the radio at the top of his lungs. He was so into it that he completely missed our stop and had to backtrack. It was hilarious.
A crazy taxi driver had a parrot in his car. As he drove, the parrot would repeat everything the passengers said in a really funny voice. One passenger said 'I'm in a hurry' and the parrot kept squawking 'I'm in a hurry' over and over. The driver just laughed along and told stories about how the parrot was his co - pilot.
I heard of a taxi ride where the driver thought he was a race car driver. He was speeding up and down the lanes, taking sharp turns. The passenger was terrified at first but then started to laugh as he realized the driver was just being overly enthusiastic. It was a wild ride.
The unexpected actions. For example, when the driver suddenly starts doing something completely out of the ordinary like dancing in his seat while waiting at a traffic light. It catches people off - guard and that's what makes it funny.
There could be many positive stories. For example, a taxi driver who returns a lost wallet full of money to a passenger. He could have easily kept it but chose to be honest.
