Just a tap on the shoulder... A passenger in a taxi leaned over to ask the driver a
question and gently tapped him of the shoulder to get his
attention.
|
The driver screamed, lost
control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb and stopped just
inches from a large plate window.
For a few moments everything was
silent in the cab.
Then, the shaking driver said
"are you OK? I'm so sorry, but you scared the daylights out of
me..."
The badly shaken passenger
apologized to the driver and said "I didn't realize that a mere tap on the
shoulder would Startle someone so badly."
The driver replied, "No,
no, I'm the one who is sorry, it's entirely my fault, today is my very
first day driving a cab. I've been driving a hearse for 25
years..."
