It is amazing how one misfortune
can turn out to be
not so bad at all
Having no confidence in the public transport
and no patience for getting stuck
in between stinky arm pits
and sweaty bodies
I have numerously called for the cab to take me wherever my heart desires (okay just to go home actually)
And by far
yesterday's cab experience
I must say, was the best
It is bad enough that you are stuck in a traffic jam
moving an inch every 5 minutes
Worse if you really have to go
with the feeling that your bladder might explode
anytime
And it is another notch worse if the person who has to go
is your cab driver
Why?
Not trying to be dramatic here But
he Is, from the point of pick-up and drop-off, responsible for your life on the road
and my cab driver yesterday
Really really, i mean really really had to go
And he did
Behind some pillar
by the road side
leaving me all alone in the car
with the emergency light blinking
Crazy thoughts started running wild in my head
What if someone hijacks the car?
Do I make use of my pepper spray or try to poke his eye or any other part of his body with my metal chop sticks?
What if the line starts to move?
What if people start honking and honking?
Do I have to scoot over to the driver's seat and move the car?
What if my cab driver gets caught for indecent exposure or illegal peeing?
Do I have to walk home in the rain?
And by the time all these thoughts ran out of thoughts
He came back into the car
All relieved
and the line didn't move
even a centimetre
Phew! and boy he wasn't the only one
relieved
In case any of you take the Zalnas cab
Beware of the cab driver named: Mervin Dennis
ask him if his bladder is all clear before you get into the car
ps this is not a fictitious story
pss this is such a true story
Lesson Of The Day (for males especially)
Always have an empty bottle in your car
Preferrably one that isn't used for drinking anymore
