Making A Cleaner Getaway
(I work in IT. One night, I have to work very late, and because my office is in a bad part of town and I don’t have a car, I call a taxi instead of taking the bus.)
Taxi Driver: “So, you work for [Company], eh?”
Me: *very tired, and not really paying attention* “That’s right.”
Taxi Driver: “What’s it like working there?”
Me: “Most of the time, it’s fine. I hate it when I have to work this late, though.”
Taxi Driver: “Guess you shouldn’t have chosen this line of work, then.”
Me: “Um, I guess.”
Taxi Driver: “Are they hiring right now?”
Me: “I don’t know.”
Taxi Driver: “I bet working there would be easier than driving a cab.”
Me: “Maybe… Did you study IT at university?”
Taxi Driver: “IT? You’re not a cleaner?”
Me: “What? No.”
Taxi Driver: “Oh.” *is quiet for the rest of the drive*
