Actually, the worst places for cabs that I’ve been to is Singapore in the evening when the law changes about the fare structure after I believe, 11:00.
When cab drivers refuse to take me somewhere, I leave the door open, thus forcing them to get out of the car and go shut the door. Hmph. That’ll teach them to leave me rideless on the street at 3am! Rat Bastards!
Great idea about the cab door! I always just slam it shut (& sometimes take the number down & bitch to 311.) Slamming works off a bit of steam but leaving the door open – esp. the offside – will be my future reaction.
Not all of us can look as intimidating as lechacal.
So for those Asshats out walking in a rough neighbourhood, try this.
“Sometimes it is the illusion of strength that can get you out of a tight spot. Looking scary in a rough neighborhood may save you a lot of unwanted attention and keep you safe. If you look scarier than potential perpetrators, chances are people will leave you alone.”
i have to stop going to sleep with my hair wet. i look like a troll doll today. and my allergies aren’t helping with the looks, runny nose swollen eyes. i am gorgeous today. i just looked at myself in a pocket mirror and was totally put off my lunch. great dieting trick i guess.

“CGar, Chief of Staff is just so a propos for you.”
Biff, or Mr. President, it’s the position I covet (re-write?).

Totally agree, dirty. Though occasionally you get an interesting one and have one of those random NY moments.
