Cab Conversations Part Deux

I wonder if I'm taking too many cabs because for the most part I get really ok cab drivers and then every once in a while I get some random strange conversation.

Just the other day, the cab driver asked me how old I was and when he found out, he said, "You should have kids now! You don't want to wait until you are too old"

WAIT a minute. Did he just call me OLD? Seriously??

And when I mentioned most of my good friends are not married, he said "Ahh I see. Birds of a feather flock together."

What does that even mean???

I think I should stop talking to cab drivers.

Cab rides can be good and..then some..

Today, I flagged and got into a cab and realized I should have RUN out of the cab when the driver was confused at what I was saying. Worst still, I felt like she didn't KNOW how to drive. I felt like I was being driven around by a student driver. Definitely not something to inspire confidence in a cabby's safety record. My suspicions were verified when my cab was almost hit by other cars MULTIPLE times as she tried to swerve into other lanes without much signalling. Did I mention that I am  not a fan of heavy footwork on the brakes? To top it all, she tells me that she knew where she was going but she kept making these weird u-turns and I felt like we were going round and round. I'm not sure how I made it to my destination.

"Oooh this hotel, I know there was one around here but wasn't sure where"

Then why didn't you just come out right and tell me that in the beginning???
