Cabs of Pure EVIL!

Yes,yes...i know its a little too early for the second post but i feel duty bound to share this particular incident.
this is a piece of insight to my life:i am always, ALWAYS late for school. its a part of my identity now...
anyway, it seems that my being late has now become a universal law...i am late even if i start out early(eeesssshh). today was particularly beautiful...
i left my abode in good enough time to reach school before that hated bell would scream. but of course, how could i defy THE LAW? i got into a cab and sat there while that wonderful man (the driver) waited for others. waited..waited..and waited some more.
for those who do not know this, shillong taxis are share taxis.now, i have no problem with sharing. but ah!there is a fine distinction between share cabs and pile-on cabs. there were FIVE people (including myself) seated in the backseat of a maruti 800 (there are supposed to be 5 people in the entire cab actually). there were 3 people in the front seat.
to top such inhuman treatment, the wonderful man drove at a speed of say 10kms on those rare stretches of empty roads. oh!he had shoulder length hair...i had to control myself a great deal so as not to pull his mane.
the traffic today was just awesome (what can i say?im so lucky). i finally reached my destination and asked him to stop. but how could he? i guess he had fallen in love with me. so, that wonderful man goes ahead of that point. now im not violent exactly. but at that point i felt like thrashing him with my school shoe. i had to cross the main road thanks to him.
i reached school when the assembly was halfway through. i had to hide myself in the science building to save myself from the teachers.
after school,i was supposed to meet my cousin and go to ma's office for work. so i found myself another cab(this one's driver was also long haired.ghastly!). this cab broke down exactly 7 minutes later.
its been a wonderful day...
P.S.: wonderful man...wherever you are, this is my earnest wish for you:you will have not less than 3, yes i mean THREE tyre punctures on the SAME DAY!

haha..twice in a day? that's enough to irritate anybody. that's why somepeople wish for horse drawn carriages..at least you can hit the horses a little.nicely, not very hard, but try to hit the man and it's blue murder.
calcutta taxis are just as bad. if they say they'll go, that is.
