I am an American driving a taxi in Bamberg, Germany since
March, 1997. The town is in northen Bavaria. spared in WW2, It has one
castle, 3 whorehouses (prostitution is legal in Germany), and 700 streets. I had to learn them all before I received my taxi
permit.
There are streets and houses that are over
500 years old. You can imagine that these streets are not designed for cars
but still used by drivers. One street in particular is only 8 feet wide and
it is a two way street.
Besides having to deal with people in several languages
(English, German, Russian, and German Sign Language), I must deal with
ladies who morals are a bit looser than normal.
I have a regular customer out of Kenya.
She is married to a German. Everytime she rides with me, she
invites me up to have sex with her. Naturally I decline. I am NOT that
horny or desperate. One night, I go into a pub to pick up a customer and
there she is with her husband. She comes up to me, kisses me, and
introduces me to her husband.
Talk about uncomfortable. Then she tells her
husband that she has tried to seduced me. The husband looks at me and asks
if he can watch. Needless to say I left the pub rather quickly.
on another occasion, A couple wave me down. They are both pretty drunk. After they tell me, in drunk German, their destination. I hear the sounds of a zipper. Oh hell, I think. A moment later, I stop at a traffic signal, turn around and see the woman topless going down on the man. I say in a calm voice, I do not allow sex in the taxi, If I cannot have sex, I do not want to hear, see, or smell it. The woman stops what she was doing and asks if i would like to join in . I say no. The man asks if I could pull over someplace and wait for them. No problem, I say. But I must keep the meter running. So they get out have sex and come back. When we reach their destination, the man pays the fare and gives me a 30 mark tip (or about $18 in today's exchange rate) for my troubles.
