ever have to deal with cab drivers that don't speak english? isn't it a pain? you get in and say you want to go somewhere like say the airport and they take you to some hair stylist place called "The Hairport". so you get mad and start flaping your arms like a stupid person with too much too drink and when he nods and smiles you think it's all good and he's on his way. when he pulls onto the southbound freeway though you kind of statrt to wonder if he's sure he knows where he is going. unfortunately about 30 minutes later he pulls up in front of this lake with millions upon millions of ducks and turns and smiles at you with that big old gap toothed grin of his. you yell and you scream and once again say airport and flap your wings though this time you start to pretend like you're the pilot and so he kindly nods his head and smiles real big once again. so big in fact that you're starting to get a bad case of vertigo. and he drives you around town closer and closer and then suddenly turns off and pulls up in front of the local amusement park ride with all the cool roller coasters and stuff. screaming at the guy won't help you any cause all he does is smile and make you start thinking the world is falling out from underneath your feet. so you go through the airport and the arms and the flying thing and point to your suitcase in the back seat. he looks at you and realizes that he's been mistaken so he lightly taps his head with his hand (though it probably does more harm than good at this point you're thinking) and gets back in his seat belt and drives on. you start thinking he's finally got it so you start looking out the window staring off into space and losing your mind (what little bit you have left at this point) and he starts tapping your arm again. you turn around to face forward and see that he's taken you to the biggest luggage sale in town thinking your bag needs to be returned (cause truthfully it looks like mark mcguire and sammy sosa used it for the great home run chase instead of baseballs). now you've had it and so you start to smile at him and pay his fare while you say such loving words as the like you'd never say in church on purpose. he's smiling back and you think you've got it good and put in well worth you're losses in time and reduced funds. and as you walk away the driver rolls down his window and sticks his head out to shout "I not a punk [edit]! Stupid American!!" and he promptly drives away. Now the moral of the story is that you should never lose your temper, never become agrivated, and always remember to get the last one in.< !signature--> "There were times in my life when I was going insane tryin to walk through the pain when I lost my grip and I hit the floor yeah I thought I cou [This message has been edited by Alicat (edited 01-28-2001).] |

I think it's time for you to come home, James... You have WAY too much trouble with airports, my friend... If you're not lost, looking like Groucho... then you're sabotaging the doors so they can't shut you in... or you're hopelessly diverted at the hairdresser... What's up with you anyway???..   |

just remember this, des, even when they speak english people can do this to you because they REALLY understand but just don't let on because they think it's funny or some [edit] but really they just want to give you the runaround in and out of the airport or on the internet superhighway or wherever the hell you are or aren't and sometimes they show up with groucho disguises so how do you know if the guy REALLY is a cab driver or if he's just PRETENDING to be a cab driver after all and so i say, get your scrabble tiles in order, drink a wine cooler, get up on that table and dance because i've got dollar bills to stick in your pants but don't tell your dad, he might get mad at me but the deal is this, too, i've gone NUTS, or haven't you heard? *g.... loveya!!! *smooch*  [This message has been edited by Alicat (edited 01-28-2001).] |

OK guys. I understand the angst. I understand the frustration. Howsoever, cursing, or even the innuendo of such by using an asterisk, is not allowed in the Alley, nor in any other forum. Towards that end, I replaced any such reference with [edit]. Des, that sounded like one hellish trip you had there, but on the plus side, you definately got the scenic route. In the future, though I encourage rants and complaints and suchlike, please keep it clean.
