last night claire and i took a cab home from benihanas. the cab driver ended up cutting off a van so he could pull up to our corner. the van's sirens go off and out storms this white guy (not wearing a uniform) cursing at the cab driver. he rolls down his windows, and guy starts screaming at him. that he almost killed him. and himself and his passengers. something about how the driver makes a living for his family from driving a cab so why is he so reckless. then turns to us and says that he doesn't care how much we demanded to be dropped off on the correct corner, it was the driver's responsibility... all that while shouting and saying "fucking" as much as possible. and teh driver just takes it and apologizes politely.
i was so fucking pissed off. the driver may have made a mistake, but no one deserves to be yelled at the way he was. all of the curse words and talking about how he makes a living was so incredibly degrading. he never asked anything. just yelled. and when he was done yelling. he got back in his van and took off.
so fucking terrible. i wish i would have thought to (and had the balls to) get out and demand to know who the guy was. if he was a cop, he needs to be reported. such fucking ass holes exist in this world. i know it happens every where else too, but new york is starting to get to me.
other news...claire and i just had an incredible weekend...
