Mid-way through the journey, this cab driver started to frantically chomp on lozenges.
Oh-oh.
A sign he's trying to suppress a cough.
Nearing the last leg of the journey, he couldn't suppress it no more and coughed violently to the extent we thought the cab was going to crash.
We were too nice to tell him we want out - right there and then.
Bad mistake.
To cover the awkwardness, he struggled to talk about how he was cheated with fake US dollars followed by another cheat who ran off in the middle of Chinatown's heavy traffic. You could hear from his shaky voice that he was not well. He shouldn't be driving.
He spread the cough virus of course, causing us a loss of 3 days' work as we lay bedridden.
Before he picked us up, he must have coughed and coughed to his heart's content. By the time we boarded the cab, it must have been infused with virus.
Very irresponsible.
