I had someone drop me off at work, so I had to take public transportation back. I live about 10 miles from my job and once to save money I walked back in the cold. Never again. It was really cold this morning, and I had pants, shirt, sweater and jacket and I was still freezing.
So I go to the bus stop, and see the bus I'm supposed to take there. I run, but the bus takes off just about when I get there! I think, no problem, I'll just take the next one. They stop by abuot every 15 min according to the schedule.
So I wait....and wait....and wait....
Nearly an hour later, no bus! I see lots of "out of service" buses fly by. I'm freezing my tail off, so I think F it, I'll just take a cab. Better than catching a head cold, yuck.
So I spot a cab with the number on its side, and call them up on my cellphone. They said it'll be 10 min. Ok....10 min more...>.<
So finally I spot a simliar cab and I walk to it, checking my phone, and I see I have a missed call from them. I realize that this is the guy, so I walk up to the side window and tap on it. "Are you for HM?" I ask.
He gives me a blank stare. "yes."
"Cool, that's me." I start to hop in and I'm stopped by loud honking from another. Another cabbie from a different company jumps out and starts cursing my cabbie out. I couldn't tell what he was saying exactly, because he had a thick accent. My cabbie says, "Hey back off man! She called me!"
Continue cursing and yelling. The guy looked so angry I thought he was about to jump on the other and start punching him. He had his hands in fists and was swinging them around.
"I said, she called me!" says my cabbie. Desperately, he turns to me. "Hey, tell him you called me!!!"
"Uh...I called him?" I say to the other cabbie.
He gives me this GLARE like he was about to punch me too, and finally backs off. I go in and enjoy a nice ride back. Of course the cab ride wasn't cheap, but better than catching hypothermia.
"Why was he so mad?" I ask during the ride.
"Because....he thought you called him....I dunno."
Oh. Maybe he thought I was someone else. But geez. No reason to act like a savage. Some people.
Plus, what was up with those buses? Never again with them!
