The quick answer is: people gets crazier!
Now, please don't get me wrong. After 2 years of experience driving cabs around, I actually met and dealt with a lot and all sort of people. And believe me, usually when the moon is full, for some reason, people acts more wild and more crazier than usual. This may sound like a myth. Of course, after all, this is just a theory made up by me and a couple of other dedicated cabbies, without any scientific reason.
But, last week, while I was working (I work night shifts), I realized that people somehow are more grumpier that usual, slightly no manners, and even there are a lot fights going around town. And straight to the point, even I got caught in a middle of a brawl! I actually picked up a bunch of teenagers, and sent them to a party near Gaven. Then there's a girl stop my car as we are close to the house. The girl asked me to turn around the cab and take those kids back to where I picked them up. She said that if they go to the party, they will eventually get killed!

Shocker! I thought actually that was just a prank. Then, a bunch of 'drunken angry guys' ran towards my cab and start throwing glass bottles at my cab. Those kids in my car were scared and shouted "Run cabbie!! Run!!" I stepped on the gas and go as fast as I could. As my passengers window is down, one 'steel baseball bat' actually flew right inside my car and landed right on my steering! I was stunned! I drove off like a flash!
That was lucky. If I duck my head down a bit, definitely the bat will hit face and you are not read this article today. After getting those boys to a safer place, I let them down, and the gave me a big tip for saving their a*ses.

After having a chat with some other passengers that night, one of them (she was a nurse in some hospital) admitted that whenever the moon is full, there will be a lot of emergency cases in the hospital. And another passenger actually agree with our theory about the full moon. He said, there are actually some researches regarding the moon stated that when the moon is full, the ocean level lowers, and for some reason affects the oxygen level in the air that we are breathing. And for some medical or psychological means, it affects human behavior, especially for us that live just by the sea.
So whenever the moon is full, just be careful!
