I’m sure you have a few funny cab-riding experiences, but I had this one just a few days ago.  I was running late for work, and starting to feel grumpy,  so I decided to take the first cab I saw. By then, however, I decided that I’d just ask for a change in work schedule because I figured I won’t arrive on time anyway, so I got a little bit more relaxed even when the driver suddenly turned for the gas station without warning.  While filling up his car’s gas tank, he asked me: “Are you in a hurry, Ma’am?” I smiled and said, “Not so much.”  He smiled back, “Well, I am.”  I almost laughed at him but decided against it. Having sparked a conversation, he then proceeded to tell me stories as we went along, from his jealous wife, to his ex-girlfriend, to his previous passengers, and later even about affordable term life insurance rates (the amazing thing is, he’s not even an agent). You’d think we were traveling for hours  with the bulk of stories he shared. Truth is, it hardly took 20 minutes. For what it’s worth, I was terribly amused.
