You not what really grinds my gears... Cab drivers, or even massage therapists who fancy themselves conversationalists. whats the deal with that. here i am driving home from the airport in a taxi, tired as shit and not in any sort of mood to be talking to a total stranger, when out of the blue the cabbie strikes up a convo. i am all for being nice, but common. I'm just trying to get where i need to go and your getting paid to take me there, not to become my new friend. same goes for masseuses. all i want is a nice relaxing massage, but then you have to go and ruin it by talking to me, making me feel compelled to respond, and worse continue the conversation. there should be a button in cabs that when pushed informs the cab driver that your down for some dialog, otherwise silence should be the standard. in conclusion, those in service industries who deal face to face with their customers should understand the awkwardness that follows any sort of unneccessary converstaion. in this man's opinion silence is golden.
