I realise now I should have shouted, ‘hey, you talkin to me? you talkin to me? Then who the hell else are you talkin to? Well I’m the only one here. Who the fuck do you think you are taking to?’ Thus using a shared cultural reference to imply the cab driver is a socially inept homicidal maniac. I’m disappointed in myself. How can I ensure my retorts are always witty in future?
