i was taking a cab back today from my friend's place (eh legitimate reason k, it was after midnight. no more buses =x) and my cabby was this really polite, soft-spoken guy. my impression of him was that he was one of the rare breeds of cabby that spoke mainly english and was not loud. and was polite and at least bothered to ask me what route i wanted to take. i was impressed with the guy's appearance as such.
while we were on the road, at some point along amk ave 3, this fat dude in an old rickety sedan filtered into the lane, dangerously closely in front of the cab i was in. no signal.
hohoho. you shd have been in the cab when that happened. all i could do was sit there and smile to myself. my apparently civil cabby started muttering to himself.
'knnccb. sob mofo" etc etc etc.
and he filtered to the right and floored the accelerator, going at 110 along amk ave 3.
later, he started cursing under his breath again because he was behind another cab doing 40 along the right lane on amk ave 6.
i dont blame my cabby for this behaviour. esp the guy that filtered in, really oughta be screwed inside out. but this just goes to show that driving can bring out the worst in people.
after all that, when we were nearing my place, he was like all polite and stuff again. exactly the way he started out. he even offered me a thank you and good night as i was disembarking.
i was just confused after that. i thought he was pissed? hahaha.
