Well last night: same story.

Got in a cab at ORD. Naturally, the cab driver did not get out to help me with my bag - just popped the trunk.

As we pulled out he immediately gets on the phone. I asked him to please hang up. He told me he was talking to dispatch (yeah, right

).

Told him my address and which exit off the Kennedy and he said he knew where to go.
Of course, he is about to blow by my exit before I remind him where I'm going and he swerves across two lanes to quickly get off the Kennedy. Naturally he had no idea where to go after that so I had to walk him through it. I thought you said you knew where to go???

I tipped him $2.
