5. I never know what to tip
Some say you don't have to tip cab drivers but I always do. I usually tip 20 percent. :shrug:

6. If they talk on the cell phone?
NOTHING! Maybe the change from the even dollar but that's it.

7. I'd say between 10 and 20% depending on service and how much
the fare turns out to be (to avoid dealing with change).

I'd consider $4 on a $15 fare to be generous. :hi:

8. I don't tip cabbies.
I crap in the back seat, and then disappear through a convenient alley.

9. Cabbies pay their own gas
I know
Depends on the "Cabbie"
and the service
and how drunk you are
and how good looking you are
and how good looking the cabbie is.
But 20% up... is normal
