The Art of Negotiation by a NYC Cabbie
Me: Take my way to my house.
Cabbie: No, that way is too slow. Too many lights. I’m taking my way, it’s faster.
Me: That may be, but my way is cheaper. Take my way.
Cabbie: How much do you usually pay?
Me: $28 plus tip.
Cabbie: Ok, I take my way and you pay me $35 flat fare plus tip.
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAH

What IS it with you and cabbies? Soon they will have circulated your photo and noone will pick you up. Or if you take another one to court we will find pieces of you hidden in yellow trunks.

emerald has a very sound point. I mean, I’m the most confrontational person ever and yet… so many less cab horror stories. Really Ms. Summers, how is that even possible?

Is this where we are supposed to remind Ari that she is white in a town where cabbies helpfully service the whitefolk?
