Feb. 5th, 2008 01:23 pmLast night after fencing I hung out with Jessica for a bit, and then eventually took a cab home, as it was late and I wanted to get home before Patty needed to go to bed.
Of course, my cab driver is paying no attention at all and starts to speed by my street.
"106th!" I holler at him.
At which point he makes a sharp turn, without looking and we crash into a livery cab. Honestly, I couldn't tell who clipped who -- it happened very fast, and the whole thing made us spin out a bit.
I then had to talk the cab driver through the obvious basics.
"Pull over."
"Stop the meter."
etc.
Such fucking drama. I am totally fine, but a bit of timing in any other direction and I wouldn't be.
Not exactly the "hi, honey, I'm home" moment I was going for.
