Tbf on the glasses thing, he may be long sighted so doesn't need the glasses for driving but does for reading
If he's long sighted then dosen't he need glasses for seeing further distances cause I'm pretty sure short-sighted people wear glasses to read
@@n_s3404 Short sighted person here, I wear glasses to read things that are far away. Short sighted is near sighted so I would need to wear my glasses while driving unlike a long sighted person who can see far out just fine.
Basically
Short sighted: needs glasses to see things further away
Long sighted: needs glasses to see things close by
@@keviny.982 not if you're as short sight as me, then you need glasses even for looking at your phone 😂😭
Perhaps it’s worth also noting that if he needs glasses to see clearly up close, it might be wise to keep them on for the purposes of the dashboard(speedometer, fuel, temperature gauge, etc.)
The point is valid but I think it may be age-related reading glasses for small text that's the problem. Not required for driving if your general eye sight is OK. Edit: As in not necessarily a short sighted issue.
Seemingly every anituber and their moms: making a video on Oddtaxi
Connor: *_living out the plot of Oddtaxi_*
People still ain't watching Odd Taxi ffs give your shounen and isekai shit a break and watch Odd Taxi.
This is an order to everyone to watch oddtaxi
and Shadows House
and To Your Eternity
Odd taxi just ended a few weeks ago and damn connor really live that moment
The Taxi driver didn't TRY to bribe him, he DID.
He successfully bribed him
Did he? Or did he pay back what he stole?
He didnt bruh, they payed the diffrence for the wrong ways
I have had similar experience and they always pay me the difference when they do this. I speak Japanese fluently so I usually talk with the drivers. Most of they are really nice people though they get chewed out by customers a lot. people in Tokyo can be really nasty. I had a driver cry because I was the first one to be nice to him. Was to the point he wanted to give me a free ride.
that is kinda sad
that kinda shows how fucked up people can be sometimes I mean like crying because you were the first person who was nice to him? get the man a hug, the man just wanted to do his job not deal with annoying passengers
That's so sad
But what is the reason for those detours?
@@ScileSc which road leads to where is difficult to know even with GPS. Sometimes it could be because they have never been in the area and miss an exit and such.
So the ride should have been +-15$, it turned to +-40$ and you got 30$ back.. That means Connor made +-5$ from that hellish ride..
Stonks
risking your life for 5$
@@dragoon0anime worth it
@@dragoon0anime profit my friend.
But it also wasted a lot of his time
Damn Playing Crazy Taxi irl seems not as fun as on a Dreamcast
… I have it on PS2?
fun fact: the reason why the shutter sound of phones in Japan cannot be muted is because of the underskirt photos being taken by creepy men
Waow is it that bad in Japan? That's disturbing 🤢
dang..
No.
Take pictures of people wothout they consent its illegal.
The creeps are a problem but thats not the reason
@@santiagoperez2094 its creepy either way... also its possible to take regular photos of someone from far away where the shutter sound isn't audible, so its mainly because of underskirt photos
I actually learned this from one of the Hololive girls where they were talking about a the time an older guy tried taking a risky photo of her
“So I gave him 5 stars”
Connor be like "u paid the difference, so I wasn't ripped off" then u deserve a default 5 star
Tried? There was no trying here, the man *succeeded*
Does he know that long sightedness isn’t the same as short sightedness?
Probably presbyopia
It's easy to forget or not know that when you don't wear glasses.
In another thread someone pointed out it really doesn’t matter. If nearsighted, you need glasses to see outside the car. If farsighted, you need glasses to read the instruments within your car. If you need glasses, you should wear them while driving.
They should still wear it to see the map or the dashboard.
@@ravenwraith1017 idk if u wear glasses or not but that’s not how it works. I’m very nearsighted and if i use my glasses when i read, the text gets blurrier when i get close, sometimes i have to take off my glasses to read. The opposite goes for farsighted glasses, if he wears one while driving, he won’t be able to see the road because it gets blurrier the farther he sees.
I think Connor's reaction to his driver is perfectly reasonable
what do you mean "tried to?" connor took the money🤣
You still need probably should put glasses on when drving, even if your farsighted, if you cant see your map, your dasboard, or cars that are really close to you, its still kind of an issue.
Yeah you should still be able to read your speedometer at the very least. If you can't even do that, it's still a very big issue and you really really should have bifocal glasses
Its called presbyopia Conner, the guy can't accommodate to see near objects (which is normal in elderly people) but he can see just fine from farther away
Otherwise known as being farsighted
I have no knowledge regarding the subject, but are you still allowed to drive without glasses if you have presbyopia? I mean, is it fine not to see the speedometer and fuel?
@@rolandoobanos7444 In practice, yes it's legal. Also farsighted people can drive better without glasses whereas nearsighted people like me can see objects very close to their eyes better without glasses (better than people who don't need glasses at all)
@@bens5093 I guess you can call it that, but presbyopia refers to the normal degenerative changes of the lens, being farsighted often refers to hypermetropia which is a condition that can affect even the younger age group, when the problem is with then lens, and it is a part of the aging process it is called presbyopia, not being farsighted, I get where the confusion is coming from though
@@rolandoobanos7444 I suppose that depends on that country's laws, but usually people with presbyopia can drive without a problem (as long as they don't have a concurrent condition such as astigmatism, cataract or anything else) whether it was during the day or during the night
I had in England a ride kind of like this...
The guy was on his phone texting whole time
Guy started taking pictures of himself whilst driving
He almost crashed
He almost ran out of fuel so went half the speed limit (dangerously slow nearly crashing AGAIN)
Got lost
Kept speeding up and slowing down randomly...
I actually text my friend the details as genuinely thought we would die...
Then he turned up to pick us up...
I'm in a wheelchair so only specific cars can take me and we had no choice
Luckily on the way back he just drove 20 the whole time on a 70 road and kept having random stops by just pulling over on a duel carriageway ( no not in the areas to do so just on the side of the road)
"you speak the 1's and 0's"
so binary code?
Had a taxi driver try and scam me by missing the exit and rerouting twice. There’s no traffic, wasn’t dark outside, no reason to miss an exit. Dude tried to go the longest route to rack up the miles and I straight up told him I ain’t paying a dollar more. Drop me off now and then I reported him. This was in the states.
I've had people do that before. 10am, bright as hell, no one on the road, the app is clearly telling him to get off at the exit and he misses it. It added 20 minutes to the ride. I even told him like "yeah take this exit" and pointed at the upcoming exit.
With my experience in our country taxi’s, I was thinking the driver was a scammer. But he was just actually confused because of the fault of the app (wrong pin) and because he was old, panicked, and also maybe felt guilty because he inconvenienced his passenger and made him rack up a large fare that he was honest enough to pay for the difference. Only in Japan.
In our country, either these scam drivers will get your money or you just pay them what you think your fare should have been after getting off.
Connor: I'm gonna file a complaint!
Taxi driver: _pulld out 30 bucks_
Connor: Then again, I did get here safely
Shouldnt the title be "Taxi driver sussessfully bribed Connor"?
Yes lol since "tried" could imply failed bribery.
I've had Lyft drivers like this and I legit thought I was going to be murdered.
bruh, not everyone who wears glasses are just nearsighted, many are farsighted... so they can't read a phone but can do fine driving.
that's correct. also pretty much everyone with good vision, will become farsighted later in life. around the age of 50 most people are starting to need reading glasses.
How will he read the map app to see where hes going.
Whatever is your vision issue, you need glasses to drive. Even if you see at far, it's important to be able to see your velocity thing and the mirrors.
There's a difference between reading your dashboard and reading a in your face phone. He could've been fine.
I have glasses because I'm nearsighted so anything more that a few feet in front of me becomes a blurry mess. The issue with this is that when I wear my glasses it kinda just swapes my vision making me farsighted. So I can understand why that guy might want to drive without his glasses.
Sounds like a pretty odd taxi, amiright?
I mean the part at 5:05 did happen in an episode
it's pretty common in Japan to find drivers who shouldn't be driving or at least should update their license
a crazy taxi even
@@dragoon0anime its a refference to odd taxi.
The man is probably far sighted so he needs glasses to read anything near but can see fine for things at a distance so driving is okay. Though I just hope he can read his dashboard fine such as the speedometer.
As a retail worker, I am so glad for Connors way of treating lower paid working people
Garnt: That’s the British way of doing things
Me: *Maybe I am British*
The new studio looks awesome!
How does One bribe their customer like what did he do take a wrong turn and hit somebody?
I mean pretty close
The ride sharing app have a rating system. Everyone always give 5 star. Everyone want 5 star. If you somehow fuck up it affects your rating and you'll get fine or less call.
Dude know he fuck up. He will do anything to get that 5 star lol.
NGL, the new set looks fucking sick!
Connor has never heard of fuckin reading glasses before I guess
The new decor slaps af
I know this is going to be great
Hooo boi, I'm glad it ended well!! I heard stories from my mom when I was younger, she lived in Iran during the revolution in the I think 70's, and when a taxi made several wrong turns with a foreigner it was like "You're going to be mugged and/or killed."
One of her roommates during that time actually threatened a taxi driver with a knife before they got on the right route. We live in America now, but still oooo watch out yo. From what I hear, Japan is super safe, but that backup energy is like oooohhh nnnoooooo
I would love to know where Connor got his shirt from, that shits hella fresh
That's an ODD TAXI
You wouldn’t think the guy who was street fighting people at his school is now more worried about inconveniencing a driver that almost killed him. 😅
i've watched this video a couple times and i never paid attention to the sketch shown at the beginning of the video but i just realized it's a sketch of my hometown what a coincidence lmaoo
"tried" to bribe lmao
lmao I just watched the taxi episode of cromartie high school. I didn't expect that to be so close to reality
‘Hold up let me put my glasses on so I can read the speedometer’ 😂
What an OddTaxi ride ...
The only issue I had with taxis in Japan was in Kyoto, my wife and I wanted to go to the daiwa roynet hotel but didn’t realise there was more than 1 and the taxi driver started to take us to one then randomly pulled over and kicked us out.
connor saying he doesnt want to complain about something hahaha
From what I've heard (and I don't have a Japanese phone to confirm this), on iPhone, if you turn on "Live Photo" it doesn't make a sound when you take a picture, because it's considered a video.
On Japanese iPhones, Live Photo will make the “video recording sound” instead of the standard camera capture sound
This is my favorite trash taste story
Worst Taxi Speedrun Any%
Connor needs a full time camera guy lol Connors reality show.
The driver sounded like a gag old character in a comedy anime.
Mad respect for Connor
TIL nobody on trash taste knows how farsightedness works
No one of them wear glasses or, obviously a doctor, so why would they know? it's kinda common knowledge but still not everyone would know this
@@zer0legend109 you literally answered your question, "kinda common". At least we expect one of them to know.
Ooohhh I have that same Ishtar statue !
original oddtaxi reference
The subreddit surely was filled with memes about that.
old guy glasses usually for an extremely close up reading... you can drive and see navigation (at least line and arrows) without it
while I could play games, read, and all without my glasses, but need mine to drive while my mom got the opposite.. calm down dude xD
if you want to take a pic without the flash or the sound going off, just take a video of the card or something, then screenshot it.
Wouldn't that still make a sound? Coz video upskirt would be worse than a pic.
@@PaulNapkinds @@PaulNapkinds ive never had my video function make a sound
Also, why is upskirt the example of choice you decided to go with?
@@Citatel1412 upskirts was one of the major reasons this law was implemented in japan
And I thought they were talking about the movie lol
what an Odd Taxi
Japanese drivers are mostly stubborn ojiisan! I used to get a taxi to come and pick me up to take me to the nearest shinkansen station in the old days when I lived in the country. They always went to the wrong apartment block; ie my friend's one instead of mine. And I'd even argue with them and they insisted they were at the right place. I would actually say, "No you're not. I'm inside my apartment and I know you're not outside." They all think they know their way and they know everything... they would argue with you stubbornly etc. I was actually very scared of encountering stubborn ojiisans! I really dreaded whenever i called a driver to pick me whenever i was traveling.
it's a refund not a bribe
Connor always seems to make sense to me more than Joey or Garnt.
"WHEN I WAS A KID BATMAN WAS MY HERO BUT AS I GREW UP I REALISED THAT THE JOKER MAKES MORE SENSE"
Coz he's normies 🤣
he appeals to normies like us xD
The title says tries, but he susscceded
It is fairly common for people to use reading glasses to see something up close once you hit middle age. So commenting on drivers doing that to see your phone has nothing to do with their ability to drive. It's also a common ride share trick to bump up the price by going a longer route. While that's not as viable now as it was a few years ago some drivers will still try to make a extra buck that way.
Ok anyone want to explain the boys what nearsightedness and long-sightedness is?
anyone know where to buy the shirt that Joey's wearing? I love how it looks
Reminds me of odd taxi
I read the title as connors taxi driver tried to bible him
I had this happen to me once. One time in Vietnam our driver tried to make a little more money by going through longer routes and going in the wrong direction my dad who was in the passenger seat quickly caught on, but didn’t say anything. When we finally got to our destination he wanted my family to pay the full amount but my dad wouldn’t budge and didn’t pay the extra costs they argued but my dad walked away and the driver didn’t call the police or anything perhaps because he knew he got busted.
The worst taxi driver you've had so far Connor.
Is that Moriah Elizabeth's purple monster plushy behind Gigguk?
I can relate to that tolerance level. If you leave a taxi mid trip b/c you feel unsafe is that legal? And what did he mean by camera shutter? Isn't that in every phone?
However it can be disabled. In Japan it might be different because of upskirting or something similar. They already talked about how different Japane smartphone this might be another difference.
@@djabeacocteau132 im not sure if upskirting was the sole reason but it was definitely a major one, Japanese camera shutters have to make a noise by law
of course it's legal to leave a taxi mid way, if anything it would be illegal for the driver to deny you that right
Sometimes, money talks......literally. 😆
The man took his sweet time no biggie
Old people can usually see fine into the distance but not at close proximity
ah yes
Connor forgets that needing reading glasses doesn't mean you need glasses for driving
You take out "Tried"
That day connor came close to getting isekaied
Today I learned Connor doesn't understand reading glasses
NEAR VS FAR SIGHTED CANNUR!
Honestly anyone can do a decent job no matter what. Give them a second or third chance or simply more time if they need it but they should be able to accomplish an acceptable ending
Exactly. There’s a point, even with low-wage jobs, where a bad employee *probably shouldn’t be doing their job*
I don’t say that as they deserve to get fired, i say that as there’s probably someone more suited for this that won’t fuck up that much and risk both themselves and their company as well as the customers. That’s my problem with connor giving him a 5. God knows how many more customers got fucked over with that guy on the wheel afterwards 😓
or report the guy and possibly save a life. Which do you choose?
2:11 - bro.. that's not how reading glasses work for far sighted ppl lmao
I think he meant that the taxi driver didn't even look at the destination on the phone in the first place because he only wear it when asked. He wondered if the taxi driver know where to go.
Eventually Connor will be in fake taxi
Another passage in Connor's Bizarre Adventure
here in malaysia we call this
i help you, you help me, everyone happy
Connor is a Karen. Lol he had the wrong address
No..but okay
In Cambodia, my cab driver tried to pass on the inside lane, and smoked a moped driver coming off a side street. Then turns around yo me and friend and says "I help you you help me" then he floored it until police found him On the side of road with flat tire. Police took us all in for questioning. Then his brother in law showed up who happens to be a police captain, and let us all drive home. So yeah that was my trip to anchor
This title is wrong. Connor’s taxi driver successfully bribed him.
"so I nearly got killed by the taxi driver but he handed me 30bucks so 5 stars it is I guess"
same thing happened to me in Portland. The dude was super old and didn't listen to the directions. I even asked him to just listen to the directions and he refused. made a 15 minute ride into an hour. Lyft tried charging me extra but they fixed it. I tried getting a complete refund for wasting my time but they didn't. Oh well, never using Lyft again since apparently they don't screen their drivers.
Connor is good vibes
Money is the universal language lol 😆
maybe they are far sighted
I thought this guy was gonna hire him for a Japanese Fake Taxi shoot when I started this video.
80 or 90? In my country those people would be in wheel chairs or stay home already
this is japan,work your body till death spirit
Ah! People without glasses complaining about glasses problem. (Pushes my glasses up) Got it!
HEY HEY! COME ON OVER AND HAVE SOME FUN WITH CRAAAAAAZY TAXI!
(okay) 🎶YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!🎶
Half the comments talking about glasses, the guy nearly hit a car, just stop talking
connor doesnt understand that some people are far sighted and cant see well up close so they only need glasses for things like reading
lie the speedometer and the map
@@KrissFliss almost all cars these days have digital speedometers with large numbers and center consoles with screens much larger than your phone
mans 90 y/o dude, cut em some slack ...
