I used to work in a minicab office awnsering phones.
There was a lot of twats in there, I call them Life Losers, because that is what they are, and always will be. They gave me the oompth to better myself so I don't end up like them. There was a handful of times where I cried, I'm not going to see the worst, or anything that isn't legal, but here is a couple of things.

The Jewish Holiday
It was the jewish festival of Rosh-a-shona, I believe. Someone left their sydor (bible) at home, where there was something important happening, I can't remember what, a blessing on an individual (perhaps a barivement or mitzah (celebration) of some kind). On this day, she couldn't handle money directly, I don't know the details. The Instruction was to leave the book in a special bag (that also contains other religous artifacts), with the money in an envolope. They wouldn't accept the job, followed by load of anti-jewish comments. In the end, I said I'll pay for it if the envolope isn't found, and thats the only way he sent the job. They told me there was no envolope, so I paid for it, it was only a £8 job, but I was getting £5/hour. A week later the driver gave me the money back, telling me not to tell anyone, and that he had the envolope but shared it with the controller... he said they wanted to teach me a lesson, but driver felt sorry for me.
TLDR: - Made me pay for a job that they got paid for already.

The Toilet Paper
The boss wouldn't pay for toilet paper, I had to buy my own, every few days when I came in. After a few months of this, I put it on an expense thing, where the responce was "I didn't tell you to buy it" and wouldn't give me the money back. I probably bought £5 worth a week on account of everyone using it.

The worst haunting thing in my life
It was 9 in the evneing on a saturday, when we got an account job. We were totally packed, 30 minute waiting queue, and nobody wants to do an account job on a night like that (as account jobs get paid a good 6 weeks later). It was a hospice to pick up a prescription from the phamacy in the 24 hour ASDA (closing at 11, sunday trading and all that). They called every 5 minutes asking where they were, it was an old lady with cancer needing painkillers. I was pushing and pushing the job, but he wouldn't give it out 'cus we had all the pub'n'club lot which pays more and pays on the night. Eventually at 10:45 he gave the job out, and suprise suprise, the ASDA was closed by the time he got there. I cried myself to sleep that night, I can't say I know what happened to the lady, but I am a pain patient myself, she was living her last nights in agony becasue of this guy.
tldr: - Wouldn't send a cab out to the phamacy to give some cancer old lady meds 'till it was too late.

Footballer's wages
I used to get fined £5 for every 5 minutes I was late, even though I was on £5/hour.

Website Woes
I created a website with online booking and price estimating and they only paid me half , then "sold the company" with exact same names, numbers and staff, and told me they're not going to pay for the rest. I spent a year building that system giving them everything they want.

Granny Sexual Abuse
One guy was talking about how this granny pinched her bottom in a club, so he did the same to her, but he was doing hand movements and went "I stuck my finger right up her crack." The granny then called him a cunt (or something like that) so he shouted at her 'till he had to be removed from the club.

There is a lot more.

That job taught me something there, there are some horrific people in this world, and I am a damn site better than that scum. And if anyone did the things they said they have done to my family, I'd firebomb them in their car infront of a police station, then hand myself in.... and I'd take an oath on that.

Christ, that Hospice story goes far beyond the classification of twat.
Glad you got out of there and used it as a positive driving force for yourself.

I worked in a taxi office too, and have come to the conclusion that ALL taxi drivers are cunts. My mum's seeing one and he tried to bully me at every opportunity, little realising that it's hard to push someone about if they don't give a shit about your opinion...

Anyway, the drivers all acted like wankers, refusing to do a job if it was worth less than a fiver, arguing over who was next on a job, eventually I just packed it in because they're all full of shit.

as for selling the company, I think all taxi companies do that to avoid tax, the one I worked for "changed hands" twice while I was working there.

Just like to say
We're not all cunts; some of us are only doing it because we HAVE to earn a living somehow.
