The other day I needed to make a phone call so I asked the driver to turn the music down. He seemed quite annoyed though did turn the music down. This has now been bothering me for the last few days. Did I do something rude? Was he right to be annoyed?
Was my driver in the right?

Had I been your driver no I wouldnt of been annoyed. As long as ypu ask politely it shouldnt be a problem. As soon as my rider says they are making a phone call (common sense) I automatically turn it down. There are many drivers pit there that dont know how to deal with the public. They have no idea what customer service means they feel.their car their rules. Although that may apply to many things turning down the radio shouldnt be a problem. Realize all drivers ate not like him. You got a rude one.
It is completely normal for passengers to need to make a phone call in the car, as long as you were polite about it I do not see what the problem is here.
So many riders just hop on the phone and have these loud obnoxious conversations without ever asking me if it is ok. I would have been thrilled if you were my rider and actually asked me! Sounds like your driver was a jerk.
