I’ve always wondered this, and it turns out that yes, NYC cabbies do hate the little TV’s in the back of the cab as much as we do.
It’s kind of hard to read, but the note says:
“PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.  IF UR Not Watching TV, PLEASE TURN IT Off or TURN IT Low.  Thank u So Much. PLEASE!”

How fast you can stab the off button in the bottom-right corner of those screens is one of the tests of how much of a real New Yorker you are, along with knowing which door of which subway car to board, depending on your stop.

I think I’ve ridden in that cab.
