Dubai content creator @yasminesays has called out a rising trend where people film themselves making fun of taxi drivers. These clips show passengers acting like the driver “smells,” rolling down windows dramatically, or sticking their heads out just for laughs. She said the behaviour is flat-out disrespectful — and it needs to stop.
“Where are your manners?”
In her video, she explained that passengers who hold their noses or act grossed out in the back of a taxi are disrespecting every hardworking driver in the city. There’s nothing funny about mocking someone’s personal hygiene.
Yasmine also said she can’t understand why this trend is blowing up online. She called it “vile” and urged people to pause and think before posting.
“Imagine it was your family member”

The influencer urged her followers to put themselves in someone else’s shoes—what if the driver being roasted was your dad, bro, sis, wife, or bestie? She reminded everyone that Dubai taxi drivers grind long hours every single day to take care of their families.
She stressed the importance of staying humble and checking your own vibes. “Look in the mirror, have a real talk with yourself, and then step back out,” she said.
Kindness is always the better trend
Her message was straight-up: kindness is free, and respect should always come before chasing clout. She said if you can’t act right in a taxi, just stay home stop putting out content that hurts people.
The takeaway? Disrespect should never be “trendy.”
