Dear taxi drivers of Accra...

Some important tips for the health of our ongoing relationship:

1. If I need a lift, I will let you know.

2. Or put another way, If I don't wave you down, it means I don't need a lift.

3. Not even if you beep continuously from 200m behind me to 200m in front of me.

4. If I ignore you, it's probably because 50 of your mates have already beeped at me that morning and I'm contemplating taxicide.

5. The twisty hand gesture, the offended why-are-you-depriving-me look and especially that hissing noise won't change my mind.

Seriously guys, the beeping is driving me nuts.

Yours, with a nervous tic,
