cab driver

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. I only have a little bit over a month to come up with 22 blogs.

I think I'll tell an embarrassing story .. of me, once again .. just to make it 21 by the time I go to bed tonight.

Today I took the cab. After about five minutes into the trip, I heard the good looking driver say, "OH.. I forgot to set the mirror".

At first I thought he meant that he didn't have the appropriate mirrors on this car, but a quick glance told me he had all three. So I said, "pardon me?"

The driver repeated, "I forgot to set the mirror" in his exotic accent.

I don't know why I felt so good about myself at that moment, but I thought he was indirectly complimenting me by saying that he should have a mirror beside him that shows him the reflection of me, thereby saying I'm pretty.

.........

My brain thinks extremely fast whenever I feel good about myself.

At first I thought it was a bit awkward, although I was a bit flattered, and so out of politeness and narcissism I told him, "Aww! You're too kind!"

The driver replied, "I will set it now!"

Then I was a bit confused. I straightened up and went, "huh?"

He said, "Yeah I turned it on now," and he pointed to his METER.. METER.. METER..

........

"Oh..... I see.... it's alright, I'll top off a few bucks..."

The moral of the story is, one should always maintain a modest attitude even when you're relaxing in the cab. And also, one should never be too careful with accents from other places.

So that's my embarrassing story of the day. There I go, 21 left!
