Won a discussion with a taxi driver this evening who did the classic cabbie u turn making me slam on the brakes.
Cabbie: "stop moaning and start pedalling." (I hadn't said a word)
Me: "that's no way to speak to a lady"
Cabbie: "well there was loadsa room, I bloody saw you, no need to worry,"
Me: "but how do I know you saw me, it can be quite a shock when someone suddenly does that"
Cabbie "yeah but I saw you"
Me "yeah but If I assumed that everyone on the road has seen me I'd be in a lot of trouble. Do you assume that everyone has seen you?"
Cabbie mulls it over and says "fair point love"
YES!
