CabbieTales Episode 2
Posted: Sun Jan 31, 2010 8:35 am
It's difficult to communicate with my coworkers. The other night my cab got stuck in a parking lot full of ice, and after 40 minutes of chipping at the ice with a hammer I finally got it out. Later at the cabshack, I decided to try to have a conversation with a fellow cabbie, and told him that my car had been stuck in the ice. I said the ice was so thick I thought I'd have to let the taxi company tow it out. He said the tow truck cost $80 at that distance. I said, \"Geez, well they should just wait for the ice to melt\". I thought this was sensible, rather than pay a towing company, just come back a few days after the ice melts enough to drive it out. To which he said: \"You're going to sit there and wait for the ice to melt? Cmon now.\" And then dismissed me with a wave of the hand like the revealed moron I was.
Yea, that's what I meant: \"I'm going to sit in my cab and wait for the ice to melt.\"
