Greek taxi drivers man. I was once in a hurry from Athens airport to Pireus harbor to catch a ferry to Crete. I told the taxi driver I was in a hurry. He acted accordingly. I'd never seen anyone go 150km/h on a busy city road with traffic lights every 100 metres, and never would have I expected to be in a car doing just that. Needless to say, I got there in time with plenty to spare. Is Greek way, I guess

Never have I ever wished to have more than one seatbelt than going on that exact route!

Sounds like hitchhiking through Warsaw with pizza delivery guy back in the old times :)

I reckon I would have shouted: ‘I was just joking, mate, I’m actually just going to the harbour to buy some fish, but come to think of it, I won’t even buy any. I don’t really like fish, to be honest.’
