So months ago, I met Bre, the coolest girl to ever work at county hospital. Since then, we have become great friends. She expressed an interest in what I do and asked if she could ride along with me in my cab. I told her that sounded like fun.
Well, this passed Thursday I made her dream come true. She was with me for 10 hours of my 14 hour shift. And now, worse than ever, she thinks I'm crazy and that I have the craziest job. And she's right.
Our first fare was to SFO, as was our second fare. On clearing the second time, we witnessed a man on a bicycle get T-Boned by a motorcycle in the city in traffic. We both looked at each other and couldn't believe it.
The crashing sound was so loud. I pulled over and Bre had a bystander call 911 while I ran to the byciclist who was completely laid out face first on the pavement. There was a large pool of blood where his head was and i knew this wasn't good. There was no movement, what so ever. I knelt down and yelled, "Sir, can you hear me. Sir, wake up," into his ear.
For about a minute, he didn't breathe at all. Then out of nowhere, his back raises and I hear the biggest gasp for air I have ever heard. I kept trying to talk to him hoping he could hear, even if he couldn't respond.
"Sir, you have just been in an accident. Can you talk?"
His palm was open facing up so I put mine on his and told him to squeeze if he heard me. I got the slightest response out of him. I didn't want to move him at all but there was nothing we could do til medics got there. And they took forever. And they got lost. Ya know, those one way streets. Lol
When they did arrive, Bre and I took off.
We got several other fares after that. Our last one was quite memorable, in that I kicked him out of the cab and left him in downtown Hercules.
Out of nowhere, he got physically violent and started swearing for no reason. It took me by surprise, but I stayed calm and didn't lose it, myself.
"Hey bro, I got a lady here and she doesn't appreciate your language at all. Can you please be quiet and I'll have you home in a few minutes?"
"EXPLETIVE EXPLETIVE EXPLETIVE!!!!!"
"Woah Bro! Get out of my cab right now. You have crossed the line to completely uncalled for and I'm over and done with you. You have scared her and you have totally pissed me off."
"I paid for the ride. You have to take me home. *enter Ebonics here*"
"No, county hospital paid for the ride and it's my right to kick you out at any point. Now get the Hell out of my cab or I'm gonna call the cops."
Right when I was about to show him my fixed blade 6 inch, he bailed. I didn't wanna show it, but I felt I needed to.
I asked Bre if she was really actually scared. She said no, but it sounded good and it was a good excuse.
Thanks Bre for riding with me. I had fun. Is there anything I forgot to mention? Lol
