I'm Jeff Bushman. I do a lot of different things, but one of the things I'm doing a lot of right now is driving a cab.
In this blog, I'm going to talk about the enjoyable and the silly things that happen. I hope you enjoy reading it. If you've been in my cab, or want to be, a fair warning. You may end up on this site (with identity hidden, of course).
Because I've driving for a while now, I'll start with some categorical stories, e.g., the strangest things I've seen, the worst customer, the weirdest, etc.
Let's start with The Strangest Thing I've Seen. This is a tough contest. Most drivers have seen some pretty strange stuff, and I've seen my share. The strangest, though, is discussed below.
The Incredible Naked Woman.
I received a call from dispatch to go to an address on a side street in Mesa, AZ. Mesa is the third or fourth largest city in Arizona. It's smaller than Phoenix and Tucson, and I'm not sure whether it's bigger or smaller than Glendale.
The address where the pickup was to take place was on a dark avenue, not far from a main north-south artery, Gilbert Road.
After a couple of twists and turns, I found myself approaching the address and saw the young man who had called, standing outside in front of his home.
As I turned towards him, for a brief moment, my headlights shined on a woman who was sitting on a chair, inside a chain-link fence. She was a bit overweight and quite busty. She was also, as suggested above, unimpeded by even a stitch of clothing.
I asked my passenger if I had seen what I thought I'd seen, and he said yes, she'd had some problems over the last year.
That, of course, explained everything.
