TAP ON THE SHOULDER
Something my HP did to me when sanity returned!
A true story from the pages of the Manchester Evening Times:
&nb sp;
Last Wednesday a passenger in a taxi heading for Salford
station leaned over to ask the driver a question and gently
tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention.
&nb sp;
> The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a
> bus, drove up over the curb and stopped just inches from a
> large plate window.
>
> For a few moments everything was silent in the cab. Then,
> the shaking driver said "Are you OK? I'm so sorry, but you
> scared the daylights out of me."
>
> The badly shaken passenger apologized to the driver and said,
> "I didn't realize that a mere tap on the shoulder would
> startle someone so badly."
>
> The driver replied, "No, no, I'm the one who is sorry, it's
> entirely my fault. Today is my very first day driving a cab.
> I've been driving a hearse for 25 years."
