The worst part of being a driver is that you have hours to yourself while waiting for your employer. You can spend this time chitchatting and scratching your groin. You can read murder and rape magazines. You can develop the chauffeur's habit it's a kind of yoga, really of putting a finger in your nose and letting your mind go blank for hours (they should call it the "bored driver's asana").

About This Quote

The article above is an example of the kind of attitude that can be found in many chauffeurs. They are the kind of people who get their enjoyment out of reading murder and rape magazines. They are the kind of people who get pleasure out of chitchatting with themselves. They are the kind of people who get pleasure out of scratching their genitals for hours on end, regardless of whether or not they have to wait for their employer.
