So here are a few tips on how to reach your destination sound! ( cannot promise your safety though!).
- Never ever mention the word "Meter" to an Auto-driver ,It will be treated as a cuss word and he will take it as an insult to his profession and will literally violate you, your parents,grand parents and your grand children are no exception.
- Never take an Auto that's in the stand, always stop a running auto, its safer - Believe me!!
- You don't choose the destination or the way, its the Auto-driver's and if that's a common Interest of both , then it is a Win-Win situation otherwise you are screwed.
- If the Auto driver gives you a look like he is disgusted with you since you are trying to give him herpes or gonorrhea , It just means he is not going that way , so will-not take you there.
- Its better to learn the words like 'Kaithe', 'Kasmaalam' , 'Saavu Grakki' , 'Otha' , 'Baadu' and a few other's before taking an Auto, so as to know whether he is swearing or just involving in a casual talk, cos you'll never know the difference.
- Careful not to Insult or look-down upon the Auto-drivers because they always earn more than you and you'll know that at the end of the trip.
- Better talk and sort out the wage before sitting inside the Auto, If you don't, then someone's gonna be penniless at the end of the month
Following these simple rules, I cannot promise you that your Chennai-Auto-Drive will be joy ride but at-least you'll know why the hell the Auto-driver is angry at your Great Grandma cheating on your Great Granpa!
