My taxi driver is singing

[Bodear]

And I want him to stop but I don’t want to have a conversation with him. I just want quiet (don’t mind the radio).

AIBU?

He’s trying to harmonise which makes it worse but it’s genuinely making me rage.

What song is he singing? Is he any good? Why don’t you join in?

Best stress busting technique in the world, singing. Gets it all out of you

Lovely! I was in a pub at lunchtime that had music playing and the chef was whistling loudly and tuneless something completely different, it was noise pollution! You have my sympathy!

It’s an Elton John album that he knows like the back of his hand so every little trill and “extra” is being sung.
No he’s not good but I’m even worse so I’m defo not joining in!!!

Does he take requests?

Sing along

NY cabs used to - for all I know still do - display a sign saying that customers were entitled to ride in silence, ie no music or conversation.
How far are you going? Tell him you have a headache?

"sorry, would you mind turning the music off, I've got a really bad headache"

The end.

Have you got to “I guess that’s why they call it the blues”?

You could try singing “time in your cab, could be time spent in peace”.

YABU.
Bit of carpool karaoke never hurt anyone
He's having a blast I'd leave him to it

@Bodear go on, Bodear! Belt out Rocketman when it comes on.

Clear those pipes! Let the stress float away (on to whoever is listening). Sing like it’s the last day on earth and you got nothing to lose! Channel your inner Elton and cheer up London.

I’m in the mood for a song - can you tell

@AutumnRose1 very funny!

Is he singing quietly?

I recently got into a taxi in the early hours of the morning and for some reason the driver put the music volume to full and then starting singing. The whole car was vibrating. I pretended I needed to make a call and asked him to turn it down. I felt intimidated and nervous when the music was blaring.

Taxi-oke join in.. Just humm along.

I get what you mean on rare taxi journeys I hate small talk.. But I'd find it quite nice to have someone cheerfully singing rather than miserable or something

I’m home in bed now, in silence (woo) but you’ve really made me laugh. Thanks MN

I got in a cab at some unearthly hour for work

Cabbie immediately asked “do you like Natalie Imbruglia”. I nearly said “well yes, but not enough for a threesome at 5am”.

Anyway, he put her album on and talked about her for the full journey. I expected to see him in the papers for stalking but happily he must have calmed down.
