There's nothing like Christmas when you want to get punched in the face

What is it about this time of year that brings out those crazy stories of insane encounters with cabdrivers? First, my friend Alexandra Billings gets hassled by this guy in Chicago, and then complete madness happens as a result of the transit strike in NYC.

The lesson here, my friends, is speak slowly and carefully, and do not share the cab with a crazy person, strike or no.

In other words, Merry Christmas, now stay home already.
