My Taxi Driver this morning looked something like this .. Kind of like a descendant of Osama Bin Laden.
This morning I called a cab, I usually use the same cab driver I know but was in a rush today and didn't have the time to wait for him. So I had a gentlemen who looked very much like the picture above. Except a lot more gray hairs in his beard. First of all he was pissed cause I took too long to come out of my room. Dispatch told me 15 min, I came out in literally 3 and he was already there searching the lobby for me. Business a little slow there buddy? Anyways I get in the cab with him. He immediately asks me when i'm heading back to the air port (obviously so he can get my business). It was very hard to understand him because his accent was so thick, but i picked it up and told him. Well the cab ride to Google from there was interesting. I LITERALLY couldn't understand a word he was saying and he was getting mad cause i couldn't.

It had said on his badge on the dash he had been cabbing for 6 years. How is that even possible? oh well. Needless to say i'll be using a different cab driver next time I go to work.

You are right, it was nothing against people wearing turbans, it was more to express the humor of me not being able to understand a thing he was saying. I can understand why you are upset and i shouldn't have made the comment. Sorry if you were offended.
