Common Dialogue?

The common questions that would-be passengers always ask before they board my cab goes like this, "Uncle, do you take nets?", "Do you accept Cards?", "Do you have $50 change?", "Uncle, can go 3 places?", and the questions asked as soon as they board, "Can lower air-con, very cold?", "Can wind down window, not feeling well?", "Can go faster, I am late already?". These questions are most likely answered by a "Yes" or an "Ok" or "No problem" from me.
Then there is the "Navigator" who will direct me the route he wants to go, road after road, sitting upright, in the middle and just beside my shoulders, (I will usually remind him to put on the seat belts).
Here comes the "Commander" type, and he goes like this, "Go straight", "Turn right", "Turn left", "Keep left" or "Take a right", "Make a U-turn" and suddenly "Stop!". These directions sometimes require my "Staccato" questions like "Right?", "Left?", "Straight?", "Here?", "Where?" and "Ok?".
Finally, "Best", I get the relaxed and easy going type, "Can", "Anywhere also can", "Whichever way also can", "Up to you" and "Good".
Don't you think these phrases "Catchy"? Goes on and on everyday, have to accept and then, "Like".
