The dumbest cab driver ever

So I give the address and ask him if he can take there. Obviously he lies and says that he can, but it's clear that he has no idea where it is (despite the fact that it's not very far from the airport). So then he tells me to put the address in his Garmin. I do and hand it back to him, and then he starts yelling at me, "Why did you turn it off?" I tell him that I didn't, but when he merely repeats himself I point out to him that he probably needs to plug the device in. After that he tries to drop me off on a deserted street, so I tell him to keep driving until we actually get to the building. Oh, and after that he didn't have change nor did he unload my suitcase for me. Prick.

That only works on tv

So this past May, I was unfortunately working out in Omaha. My co-worker was staying at the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel, but after a week or so I decide to stay across the street. Anyways we get in the shuttle Thursday night, and the driver is all like "Did you hear what happened last night?" And we're like no, so he tells us about how a cop came to that hotel to arrest some identity theft suspects and got hit over the head with a vase and ended up shooting the perps. Pretty crazy. I asked my co-worker if he heard the gunshots, but apparently he didn't.
