last week i experienced for the first time the mean new yorker.
almost late to work as usual, i decide oh well what the heck i'll take a cab. i stand on 14th st for 10 mins and there are absolutely no free cabs in sight. i'm back and forth between cab bus subway cab bus subway- neither of which is gonna get me to work on time anyway. finally a cab appears and as he pulls up to me, a lady from across the street runs over and tries to steal the cab from me!! i shouted out to her hey that's mine! she turns around aggressively and says "I am late for my meeting!" oh yeah, and so the earth must stop spinning so you can get there in time? try waking up earlier next time bitch. but of course i being the non confrontational asian that i am, the retaliation happens only in my head and all i can muster up is one big fat HUH? looking half perplexed and half pissed. i walk up to her and say EXCUSE ME- I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS CAB FOR 10 MINS! and she says WELL IT IS MINE. I AM LATE FOR MY MEETING. she proceeds to open the door to get in and whaddya know- the door is locked! the driver seeing the crazy bitch that she was locked the doors on her. hahahahahaha. she was furious by now and stomped off in a huff. and in her hurry she managed to squeeze a moment in to swing back around and spit a very nasty FUCK YOU at me.
i got into the cab the the cabby said "what a crazy bitch! you should not have let her get away with it! you should have told her to GET OUT OF YOUR FACE. if it was a black girl in your place, she would not have let her get away with it- she would have told her to fuck off and get out of my face bitch. you have to be aggressive- you're in new york!" that was probably the first time i've had a bad new yorker encounter.
i woke up early on sunday morning and decided to walk cross town from ave A to the hudson river. and the funny observation i made- all these girls in clothes from last night walking home from the last night's hookup.

thank goodness for nice taxi drivers. that was sure one mean bitch! haha if it had to be anyone, i thought it would be you being the aggressive one. :P guess being in a foreign land makes it a bit more difficult. - addie (sec 3 and 4 classmate. hee yup it has been a long time)
