"OK, where on Gulf Beach Highway?"

"Just off to the side...in the grass."

"Uh...what?"

"Just come get me!"

Yellow Cab's side business.

Actual conversation had on 03/25/10:

"OK, What time?"

"What are your hours?"

Someone suggested...

As you all know; I no longer actually drive a cab. But I'm still in the business. I work at Yellow Cab in the main office as a call taker/receptionist/dispatcher in training. I get to hear all kinds of funny to stupid crap everyday. Would yall care to hear it? I can change the mission of the blog from my actual driving stories to funny or stupid calls/drivers I deal with. Lemme know!
