Linda stood at the corner of 53rd street and Fifth Avenue with her arm in the air for almost ten minutes before a yellow cab finally slowed to a stop in front of her.

"About time!" She thought to herself. She hopped into the passenger side back seat and shut the door when the other door swung open and he sat down next to her.

"Get out!" She yelled.

"Come on, we can share."

"Get out! Get out, now!"

"We're both heading downtown and it's starting to rain. You're gonna be waiting a long time for another one."

"Oh am I? I'm not getting out!"

In his thick Middle Eastern accent the cabbie began yelling at them to make up their minds or get out of his cab.

He gave the cabbie both their addresses and the driver made his way into the midtown traffic heading downtown.
