Last
Wednesday a passenger in a taxi heading for Tampa International Airport leaned
over to ask the driver a question and gently tapped him on 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.”
