To want to complain about this taxi driver?

[Genericusers]

Taxi driver picked me up. Conversation started normal, just a little nosy about work etc. But then he commented that I look "very very good" for having kids. Asked if I had a partner or was single. If he made enough money. I wanted to say something but I didn't want to anger him.

He also watched me go in the house despite me telling him to drop me several houses down. Maybe a coincidence but they usually just rev off the second I get out.

It wasn't uber, just a local taxi firm with an app

Am I being too sensitive?

if l had a pound for every time a taxi driver has " hit"on me I'd be super rich

I hate to break it to you...but you need to bear in mind that taxi drivers are providing a service for which many customers tip. And getting that tip is top of many drivers' minds. Which likely means showering compliments on certain customers, and a bit of mild flirting.

There are obviously going to be a few wrong uns out there - law of averages. And obviously you should report any inappropriate behaviour.

However, I find it difficult to believe that you're beating off all these drivers who are hitting on you though. They're mainly just blokes trying to earn a living!

I do. It's far more interesting than my real one.

Disabled women are just as likely to be sexually harassed by men as non-disabled women. Often this is because sexual predators assume we are more vulnerable, more easy to manipulate, more desperate, and less able to get away. So I believe the poster when she says she's been 'hit on' by taxi drivers. I'm visibly disabled and I've had men in the street try and persuade me to go back to their place. I was once hit on by a security guard in Habitat of all places, who followed me and then approached me. And a bloke on a train. So many stories. And yes, very over familiar taxi drivers too. So it does happen.

You all sound bloody awful. You want someone to lose their job, because they (a) complimented you, (b) made polite conversation and (c) made sure you got inside safe????
So you don't think it would be creepier if he just didn't speak at all? No one is allowed to say you look nice anymore????
not to mention its only good manners to see someone safely in, we all do it when dropping off and all taxis used to. If it had been a woman driver you would not start assuming they're creepy perverts would you? So basically you are a man hating sexist that automatically thinks the worst possible interpretation of anything. Can't believe some people

Good for you. I don't. Not the vast amount the poster implied anyway. So many, constantly, she just eventually had to stop reporting them.

Nope.

You’ll not be using that taxi firm again and what are you going to say if you report him? That he made you feel uncomfortable? I was in the same situation and it’s awful because you’re kind of captive in the taxi- but what if it was a youngster in the cab? Really they should be reported
