Y’all should stick to the Taurus - screw the minivan - not only does it not hold more things or more people - it has NO SHOCKS or roll cage - so as you go off-roading through the streets of NYC - your internal organs will take note of pots holes and taking corners at 40 miles an hour. CAB DRIVERS! YOU ARE NOT IN FAST AND THE FURIOUS 4: NYC Drafters. I just got off a plane - I don’t need more turbulence. Oh yeah and the air fresheners make your cab smell worse, not better. Fresh pine = nausea.

Classic expressions of stress from an Australian humor site:

1. “Okay, okay! I take it back. Unfuck you!!!”
2. “You say I’m a bitch like it’s a bad thing?!”
3. “How many times do I have to flush before you go away?”
4. “Well this day was a total waste of make-up”
5. “Well aren’t we a bloody ray of sunshine?”
6. “Don’t bother me, I’m living happily ever after.”
7. “Do I look like a fucking people person!”
8. “This isn’t an office. It’s HELL with fluorescent lighting”
9. “I started out with nothing still have most of it left”
10. “I pretend to work, they pretend to pay me”
11. “YOU!!… off my planet!!!”

Apparently stupid never travels far. Here are some quotes of real travel agents according to a few websites. If anyone knows the origin leave a comment so I can link to it. If I were a travel agent, I think I would just burst out laughing on the phone and authoritatively hang up.

A client called in inquiring about a package to Hawaii. After going over all the cost info, she asked, “Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii?”

I got a call from a woman who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information when she interrupted me with “I’m not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts. “Without trying to make her look like the stupid one, I calmly explained, “Capecod is in Massachusetts, Capetown is in Africa.” Her response … click.

A man called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando. He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that is not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state. He replied, “Don’t lie to me. I looked on the map and Florida is a very thin state.”

I got a call from a man who asked, “Is it possible to see England from Canada?” I said, “No.” He said “But they look so close on the map.”

Another man called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas. When I pulled up the reservation, I noticed he had a 1-hour lay over in Dallas. When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, “I heard Dallas was a big airport, and I need a car to drive between the gates to save time.”
