The Talkative Cabbie
I'm actually in Rockhampton at the moment. Flew to Rocky at 6:00 AM this morning which is just bad news.
Caught a cab at 5:00 AM from home and the cabbie was just the most talkative guy in the world. And I don't mean smart talkative. He was dumb talkative as in he just seemed to string words together.
He spent the first five minutes of the trip trying to coax out of me what radio station I wanted to listen to (even after I repeatedly told him I didn't care). I eventually relented and told him to put it on to Triple M which he diligently did.
From there we moved on to the volume of the radio which took another couple of minutes to get just right. After that we approached the topic of the temperature in the cab until we agreed upon an acceptable level of air-conditioning.
I think by then he'd used up all of his conversation power and just mindlessly rambled for the remainder of the trip about anything that came into his mind. Was one of the most brutal experiences in my life. I've never come so close to just screaming at somebody to shut their mouth and I've lived with Trish for six years now.
Ah well,
