let's normalize making fake belief families when creepy tnvs drivers ask you a lot of questions that they shouldn't care about:
okay so today, i was out for my check up in makati, and then after i decided to drop off to mckinley to bring my mom some food for her shift, so instead of going home directly, i had to book grab to mckinley then another going home, and since home is just few kilometers away from mckinley i decided na gsm nalang book ko and easily i was able to book one
i'm used to grab/indrive and sometimes gsm so i thought it's going to be the usual, it started okay pa actually, asked me where dadaan and such, until he asked me about my age, and i answered naman kasi akala ko he'll stop there, and he then replied, "ah matanda ako sayo, 36 ako" and i just "ahhh-ed' there because i didn't want to engage and honestly anong pake ko? but then he continues about saying, batang 90's raw, and saying it's more fun ganyan and i just agreed ganon
until he asked me if "pamilyado" na ba ako and i said yes, he asked pa if papasok ba raw ako sa work, and idk my gut says i should just answer even it is a lie, because it's night and he's really giving me the creepy vibe
he asked if i have a kid, and i said i do, and he asked ilan, sabi ko isa lang and he said, "bakit isa lang? nagfafamily planning ata kayo?" so im like, "hirap ng buhay ngayon" kasi parang, why would you talk to your female passenger about family planning? it's just so off for me, he is also asking how old my (fake belief) kid is and if may work raw ba asawa ko at this point gusto ko na tumalon sa car hahaha pero we're in the middle of c5 pls
until he kept on talking about his kids, i asked him on and on para di na nya ako tanungin, then he kept on talking about his kids, his partners, and how his second wife is "mahina" kasi 2 palang raw anak umayaw na kasi ayaw nya raw sana tantanan, please lang diring diri na ako at the point talaga, until he was saying how his wife cheated on him with another girl, and how fun it is to be single, and how he can now buy briefs kasi raw non may partner sya nakabuka na raw brief nya- yes, kwento ko lahat dito so you know how inappropriate and gross i felt during this ride home
at this point, i realized na hindi naka-start trip yung sa dash nya, which i thought was just a glitch, so i let it go (will return to this later)
and then he started talking about guns! yes, guns! at first, it was just a passing story about one of his friends raw were held at gunpoint; then he talked about how he knows how to handle a gun, pinaglalaruan nya lang raw ang guns kasi laki sya sa mga sundalo within their family, and at this point i was really....scared already, so i kept on engaging so he thinks i'm friendly......pero nasusuka na ako dito kasi kinakabahan na ako talaga hahahahaha
good thing, it was near my place na, gulat rin ako that my fare is the same as my fare earlier this morning which is from taguig to makati, mind you, taguig to taguig nalang to, less than 5KMs nalang but i was billed with 17kms, but i just paid it because i really don't want to argue and talk to him anymore
anyway, it's been a long time since i felt really unsafe dahil babae ako, and maybe i might not book gsm for a while, yes, grab is expensive but i have never felt unsafe sa grab
yun lang, stay safe ladies, dami talagang tarantadong lalaki ngayon
