I’m not sure. its all so sudden, it happened today. He drives a cab.
I have had my eye on this original oil painting in a local gallery, and it was kind of expensive so I saved for it and today went to pick it up. its wide but not really extra deep and the sale guy suggested I go home with it by cab, (I did want to hang it today and couldnt wait for delivery). The cab arrived and the driver almost fell over himself getting out and offered to put the painting in his trunk for me, he looked so neat. Opened the door for me and told me the parcel fitted quite well and was safe there. “Where to ma’am”, and so began a journey of enlightenment. This guy smelled clean and had a pet at home and loved his work, cut his own grass, went ‘power’ walking each morning and called me ma’am, It was a pleasant surprise. at my home he almost ripped the door off the cab getting it open, took the fare with a smile and carried my painting to my door. then wished me a pleasant afternoon and was gone.Why?
Where did this guy get off destroying years of built-up contempt for cab drivers?
Why?
I think I may go shopping tomorrow and come home by cab again.rhiannon

Why?Such a cynical view of one small section of humanity. I hope you took that shopping trip the following day and realised that the contemptible (in your eyes) cab driver is as a priest.
Cant see it?
OK this non-judgemental person drives his ‘confesional’ every day, he doesnt choose his passengers, they thrust themselves upon him, then share their most intimate life moments cos of the anonimity of the situation. There is an emotional sharing in listening to anothers pain, it can hurt the listener.
Have compassion for the humble cabbie/priest this guy/gal deserves your respect, give it freely.rustedtight
August 2, 2002 at 8:07 am #101507shearheavenMemberHey…I think you should just ask him if he is married Rhiannon…But of course in a casual sorta way……Then when he say’s “No ma’am I’m not”…”just been waiting for the right girl”…
Smile big at him in the rearview mirror…then fumble around looking for something in your purse acting like you might have lost your keys…being the gentlemen he sounds like he is, he will without a doubt help you get into your house…Hmmmmm…then for all his heroic efforts offer him a cup of coffee……and with nice conversation and a hot cup of coffee, anything could happen…shearheaven

Remember also that cab drivers know all the best places to eat, the best places for entertainment and the smart places to be seen at.

Yes Shear…but your still not as forward as I would be. You two (Shear and Rusty) better leave this department to me…I would go a step further and offer him a deep massage maybe. To get those kinks out…And beleive me…there would be no fumbling around about it…I would get to the root of the tension…he would be like putty in MY hands.
August 4, 2002 at 1:29 pm #101502rustedtightMemberOMG.
Cab drivers aren’t my speed Kasey.
Do you do house calls?rustedtight
August 4, 2002 at 5:59 pm #101505rhiannonMemberKasey, , OMG.
Stay the hell away from my cabbie, OK?, please.
We have progressed to waving at each other in the shopping centre. I need to know how he relaxes, and then I should be at that place, kinda casual like and I’ll be OK. God I hope its not touch football or boxing or muscle stuff.
I begin power walking this week, early.rhiannon

VAPIR N02 VAPORIZERAugust 4, 2002 at 9:40 pm #101511TrixieLuMemberOK I know I’m only 18, but I think I like Rhiannon’s strategy better. All you need is to scare the guy off with a deep penatrating massage that will either make him think you’re easy or go the complete other way and have a platonic, business view towards you.
As much as I’ve learned from the male species, it’s better to just be you and play no games, then maybe you can avoid the “wrong guy”…
Your idea was cute though, Mom….…the fumbling does add some cute clumsiness which will show a bit of innocents that the nice guys seem to like…

But your post got me thinking…. if you consider the first cab trip as a kinda date thingy then Rhiannon can walk barefoot over his warm body next meeting huh.
Sigh, I get out of bed every day waiting for the massage that never happens. Sigh.rustedtight

August 6, 2002 at 10:29 pm #101509Mr. DiablosMemberLemme tell ya something Rusty… The massage won’t come to you. YOU MUST GO TO THE MASSAGE! Grab life by the horns, drag it to it’s feet, and you order that massage!
