Cab ride from hell

Nothing like a night out with the girls getting spoiled by an aggressive guy. Kfabs, Kat, Kafoofoo and I hopped in a cab outside of the office to meet up with Shane at his friend's opening. Within 24 blocks we experienced the following:
  • Cabbie cuts off an angry man in an suv - twice. After the second time, the suv-dude speeds up on the side of the cab driver, rolls down the window and screams, "if you cut me off again i will blow your xxxxing brains out." The hand signal of a gun shooting was especially compelling. At that point we told the cab driver to chill out and please avoid getting us shot. He shrugged. Nice.
  • A few blocks later he cut off another angry man, but this time in a van. Van-man sped up next to us on the passenger side, rolled down the window, and banged his fist on Edith's window while honking his horn. He was quite coordinated. I can't remember the exact words he screamed at us, but suffice it to say he wasn't wishing us a good weekend.
  • Just when we thought it couldn't get any worse, the cab driver from hell cut across traffic to make a left turn, cutting off a cop with sirens going. Unfortunately he didn't get pulled over.
I'm not sure of the tally on this blog war, but i know for sure that having sufficed the cab ride for hell over the weekend that the girls are winning!
