The scene plays out everywhere in NYC.
Standing on a street corner, a car rolls past. He sees you, and hopefully, he slows down. Trying to make eye contact, all he can think about is picking you up and getting you in the back seat. You wave him past, the car picks up speed, and drives off, looking for someone else.
Except you know what? This isn't about hookers.
[SPOILER]This is about every fucking cab driver driving past my apartment towards the Brooklyn Bridge. All I want to do is cross the street and THESE FUCKERS SLOW DOWN TO 'PICK ME UP' AND END UP MAKING ME WAIT. I know how to hail a cab, if I wanted one, I would have raised my arm for you, or for the THREE OTHER GOD DAMN CABS THAT PAST ME RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU! What makes him think that I was passing up the first three just for that one special cabbie?[/SPOILER]
Fuck them.
No, really.

Start opening their doors and chuck in some limburger cheese

Obviously the only choice is to start wearing a trashy red dress and pumps and some flashy cheap jewlery, Im sure that would turn them (and everyone else) away.

Obviously, the real problem is that you live in NYC.

Saturday night in downtown Edmonton it takes 40 minutes to wave a cab.
Never mind the fact that half the time they won't pick you up anyway, as if "too drunk" is a valid excuse.

Obviously, the real problem is that you aren't black.
And, really, could you come up with a more pathetic whine to use as a basis for a thread?

You have no imagination, you utter pathetic troll, if you can't appreciate a thread comparing cabs to picking up hookers.
And I'm working on the NYC thing, just can't find a job anywhere else that'll pay me more than $200k a year unless I want to move to London or Dubai.
And who in their right mind would want to do that?

Some solutions (can possibly be combined):
- Yell at any cabdriver while wearing a recognizable hat and waving a cracked open nail box. Do this for a year or so.
- Become a cab driver. I heard anyone can drive a cab in NYC.
- Pretend to be paraplegic.
- Give up and move to the other side of the street.
