The look on the Border Agent&#39;s face when I pull up in my Toronto cab was...resigned. I told him to ask her all the questions, I was only gonna be in the US for less than an hour.

He was ridiculously wealthy too. Let me be clear, this wasn&#39;t stupid rich guy a la Zoolander talk. He talked just like the crazies in downtown except he had a wife and kids, a really nice house, and had showered that morning.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>Oh and on a happier note: I had the two bro-iest bro&#39;s that ever bro&#39;ed get in my cab. They were attending the local college and had been friends since like childhood and it was one of their birthdays (they drunkenly reminded me of this repeatedly). Part way home they start horsing around. Wrestling and whatnot. They are just getting to the point where I&#39;m about to tell them to knock it off when it just stops.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>Then a lot of loud drunken whispering happens. From what I could piece together one kissed the other and that&#39;s how they both found out they were gay. They could have been f**king with me, but they left with their arms on each others shoulders. It&#39;s nice to think I got to see two guys come to terms with who they were and find a little happiness in the process.</p> </blockquote><p>3.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/CrashAndBurn11/">CrashAndBurn11</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>My close friend&#39;s dad used to be a taxi driver and he tells this story monthly. At one point he had the mayor get in his cab completely wasted, and telling him where to go. Halfway to his destination he would giggle and change the address. After half an hour of this, he finally gave up and said he couldn&#39;t remember where he lived. He didn&#39;t know any phone numbers and couldn&#39;t locate his phone, so the driver had to call a member of the city council to come pick up the mayor and take him home. It was a well paid night of babysitting the mayor that&#39;s for sure.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><p>4.)

She unbuckeld her seatbelt and get up. Scared the shit out of me when she stood there next to me while driving. After 3x times put her back in her seat I asked dispatch what to do. They said: &quot;Tie her up with a strap &quot; (we also transported people in wheelchairs) So I did, but afterwards I felt sick to treat another human being like that.
