I’ve lived in New York for almost 5 years now. The worst thing that happened to me was in a cab, where I was almost raped. Thankfully, I got out with my life and a few bruises, etc. However, last night I almost bought the farm.
Cabs = a very real fear of mine because two of the most dangerous and life threatening things have happened to me in them. At this rate, I might need to start taking my chances with the subway system as it seems safer.
I got taken 12 miles out of the way far beyond where I live, had to run for my life and was robbed of my coat and wallet. Also, I have a huge black eye from getting punched in the face. Assaulted and robbed in the same night by a goddamn CAB DRIVER.
And let me tell you, he was fucking nuts. I’m surprised I’m alive.
THE UP-SIDE: Having a black eye for St. Patrick’s Day.
