A requested story sample...here's a shorter one!
50) Pay your cab driverThis is a bit extreme, and the driver was unstable to say the least. He had driven for the company I was with for awhile and moved on to the other company in town. I pulled into a shopping center and saw him with another guy on the ground and pulled over to see what the deal was. I find him and his evidently beaten down passenger on the ground. Curious as I can be, I ask him what the deal is… he said, without missing a breath, “he wouldn’t pay the $3.00 fare, so I’m beating it out of himâ€. Needless to say the police arrived just after I did and arrested the driver for assault or whatever the charge was, and arrested the passenger for not paying his fare. I guess you better pay your fare if you don’t want to be on the ground being beaten by an angry cab driver.
