i hate people.

i got into a fight with a cab driver today.

i had lunch with a coworker today. we went all out and went to beau monde (awesome creperie). we got in the cab to come home...er...back to the office and i started sweating and feeling a little sick. couldn't feel any air, and my window was locked. so i politely asked if he could unlock my window so i could get some air.

immediately the cabbie gave me this nasty attitude and was like, "if i put the window down then that means i have to turn the air off."

so i was like, "sorry, i'm just really uncomfortable. i just need some fresh air"

to that, he replied, "so we all suffer?"

WHOA.
i forget what i said to that, but he finally gave in. he was like, "fine, buddy". in a huff, he turned off the air and opened his windows two front windows. let's not forget that the back and front seats of cabs are separated by a plexiglass window. therefore, my friends, i still got no air. and the cab, of course, smelled like ass and smoke. so i was like, "well you might as well turn it back on, because we can't open the back windows". with that, he finally he unlocks them and puts them all the way down.

coworker and i look at each other and are like, "wow, it actually feels really good!"

the rest of the ride is quiet. and somewhat uncomfortable. i didn't mean to cause such a commotion, but i am sure that cabbie didn't want me to pass out or puke in the cab. seriously, i have been having this issue lately. i got sick on saturday night. i think it was due to the heat.


so the next part gets interesting. because if you know me, you know that i am not taking this guys shit without at least getting a dig in. so when i get out, i actually tipped him (i didn't want to look like a loser/cheapo to my coworker and she paid for the cab there). so as i am getting out (coworker is out of the car), i said, "thanks for being so generous with the air." that was it.

as we walk into the building, he starts screaming. we couldn't hear him and i just ignored it. i had no idea what he was saying, but it was something to the effect of,
"you better watch who you're messing with."

now i know i was not a model citizen in this situation, but come on.
