Sometimes there are newbies here (or maybe people that has never travelled outside Malaysia before) and by reading these post they'll know what to expect. Rather than getting a rude shock over there at least they'll be prepared for the worse and should their luck be they get a bad supir they'll know what to do. Like some posters say, it was only one time they got a slightly pushier supir, other times they had nice ones.

i didnt really read all the long posts about bad experiences and all, but its bad to generalize.
sometimes you need to think, you are in a different place, with a different culture, you cannot expect people to treat you like a king, or like how you always wanted. sometimes you gotta give in.
who knows, those who complaints a lot are also douchebags? there's always two side to every story.
all my travels, i have encountered different types of people, and yes there are a few rotten apples here and there, but hey, that's the point of travelling. you see the world and meet new people, learn new stuffs and learn to be humble.
also, as for the supirs,
sometimes there's a reason why they dont want to entertain your requests. bali is a big island, and traffic/road conditions are not that good.
maybe the places that you want to go are to far apart from each other? usually if you go to the north, you'll spend one day exploring the northern part. then suddenly you ask to go somewhere in the south, of course they'll reject.
but whatever it is, always come prepared and do your research first before making a fool of yourself and ultimately ruining your travel experience.
