Taxi driver watching porn?

Collected by a guy from our regular taxi company last night and his screen had “Secret sex vacation wit……” (unknown artist, unknown album, 13min45) showing.

This clearly wasn’t a song I don’t know about.

Do I mention this to the taxi company? It was disgusting to see and think about, but obviously I’m none the worse for it ultimately (and had my husband with me on the journey), but equally, I trust that taxi company and shouldn’t feel uncomfortable around a male who clearly masturbates in his car whilst working, and if I’d been alone I don’t know how I’d have felt.

I already think I know I should report him. 🤦‍♀️

Awkward Season 9 GIF by The Office

My face reading this 😭

I don't even know what I'd do 😄😄 he's definitely been wanking during the quiet times

I'd leave it, i think and just giggle privately - they really aren't paid that much and it would be his car after all

😭😭🙈

Yes, do report. This is increasingly happening in public spaces and it's fucking not on, even if the pp would have a giggle.

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 16/03/2025 21:37

Well hang on

So he was driving with it playing out loud and masturbating??

Or he'd got a call whilst wanking, quickly finished up and then set off, forgetting to close the incognito browser?

This was my reaction last night.

But we have teenage kids who take taxis occasionally and I feel so uncomfortable about it in that respect (not just them but every young woman). It wasn’t even 9pm 😳

I’ve talked to DH and we are going to report to the company. I feel a bit shit as you’re right, they’re not paid well, but dear lord, not watching porn on the job is probably pretty universal.

Licensing at the council monitor what goes on with the taxis. You could ask them for advice.

It was paused for the whole journey. Just sitting there clear on the screen (has the photo been accepted yet)

Edit. For the journey both hands were on the steering wheel. (That’d have been a very different situation that we’d have dealt with then and there!!!)

It shouldn’t, but this made me laugh 🤣. I bet he was right pissed off if his wank was interrupted.

The photo has, it just shows it paused

If he was doing both, I'd be mildly impressed, I can't have any distractions whilst driving 🤭

In all seriousness, I understand why you'd want to report it, it is concerning. It really couldve been a young woman in the car - he'll probably get a well deserved telling off x

🤭🤭🤭 'oh man, bloody work interrupting secret sex vacation 🙄'

Theextraordinaryisintheordinary · 16/03/2025 21:45

Is it a podcast?

BlumminFreezin · 16/03/2025 21:50

If you type 'Secret Sex Vacation with' in Google, there's only one result that comes up matching the title (Pornhub).

It's a 16 minute video so I bet he was tamping to have been interrupted 3 minutes before the end 😂

Seriously though, 🤢

ButFirstCovfefe · 16/03/2025 21:50

Thank you for your replies. I think they show the utter absurdity of the whole situation.

Like, was he foiled mid wank? He accepted the fare pretty immediately and got to us within 6 minutes. He seemed pretty happy though 😬.

I miss the guy who shows me pictures of his wildlife photography whenever he collects us.

Absolutely report him.. This is not ok.

Newtess · 16/03/2025 21:58

I think licensed drivers are meant to follow a professional code of conduct set out by the council. It would really creep me out if I was in that taxi on my own. It's not ok.

Dweetfidilove · 16/03/2025 22:04

This is really grim. He's at work FFS ☹️.
Report him.

ChappellRoan · 16/03/2025 22:08

Report. What a fucking weirdo.

EmeraldShamrock000 · 16/03/2025 22:34

I'd report him, the creep.

paulettu · 16/03/2025 22:52

10000% report that’s awful
