Strange Reaction from a Cabbie
« on: March 26, 2007, 12:55:15 AM »
  Had kind of a strange reaction this weekend while the g/f and I were out on the town.  We hit a couple local pubs and at the end of the night I called a cab for us.  Took about 10 minutes for the cab to arrive and when we went to get in them Muslim gent looked at me and yelled NO NO NO...YOU NO GET IN with a very fearful expression on his face.  I just looked at my g/f in shock and said, "what the hell" and closed the door and he promptly bolted off.   :/O  I called the cab service and asked what the hell happened, and the dispatcher stated it was a non-pickup and sent another cab to which there was no problem lol.  I'm a pretty big guy at 6'4 250lbs so all we can think is my new look is intimidating or the poor fella has had a bad experience with a look alike.  Oh well hope this isn't a sign of things to come for my new look  :x!

I have to agree with Lance, JD. Ignore the ignorance of others.

Welcome to SBG by the way

Man, that was not a good experience JD, and shouldn't be typical of reactions to your slyness.  But perhaps it wasn't you at all, but as you said a bad experience from someone else.  From your description is sounded as though the guy was was not a native.  With all the irrational fear and hate of someone just because they are not native born, perhaps he was prejudiced against in some way and that led to his reaction.  It's a shame his fear got the better of him, he no doubt would have had a positive experience from you and the g/f.

yes, welcome aboard. Also, that is definitely NOT a typical response, actually I'm a lil stunned, yet cabbie's are a different breed anyways. I agree with the other SBG bro's  sport your beautiful pate w/ pride of being free of bad hair days, the great feel of anyone rubbing your head, no more hair cut costs w/ tips, etc etc    O0  ;)  All my best, ~Yeti

  Agreed, and I won't let one bad experience upset me too much and the pros negate the cons anyday.  Nothing like spending literally 2-3 minutes in the bathroom grooming compared to the usuall 10-15.  Those minutes add up in the long run lol.

it might not have been because you were bald....if you were out on the town drinking that would be a more probable cause..muslims dont like alcohol or people that drink it....and of course if you looked drunk..some cabbies dont like to bring drunks home cuz they puke in their cabs..
