I have no idea if the phony rules of the show prevent it, or he's just assuming that they do and not thinking outside the box.

Sure you do. Omarosa is the engine that drives that show. The producers know that. They want you to tune in to hate her.

That's me allright. I look just like her. What happened here was this man carried an umbrella at a weird angle andit jabbed me in the leg.

You must be really fucking tall.

I'd hate her even more if Kwame canned her and they filmed her running to some trump world guy, if not Trump, to complain about getting fired. So, no, keeping her on the show doesn't require a no-firing rule.

You'll be relieved to know that this is one of the rights enumerated in the NYC T&LC "Taxi Rider's Bill of Rights" (the violation of which entitles you to refuse a tip.)

You are never required to tip, though it is customary, misleading wording of the taxi rider Bill of Rights notwithstanding.

Other fun cab facts:

The driver is required to drive you to any destination in the five boroughs. No matter what, no matter how he whines about his "shift ending."

Only if the driver has been operating the taxicab for more than 8 hours of any continuous 24 hour period may he may refuse to take you to a destination in Nassau or Westchester counties or to Newark Airport (but he still may not refuse any destination in the 5 boroughs).

Taxi drivers and passengers are exempt from all seatbelt and child car seat laws, but if you want to use them the driver must assist you (and help you install the car seat, and not start the meter until it is installed and he is ready to go).

Drivers are not permitted to use cellphones, including hands-free cellphones, at all while driving.

Has anyone ever been told that they are in violation of their firm's dress code policy? One of our computer guys is sporting a basically cap-sleeved t-shirt today that displays his bicep to forearm sized dragon tattoo. Some other associates and I checked our dress code and learned that while we cannot wear clothing that reveals body piercing other than ear piercings (????? what would this be?????? no half-shirts? no crotchless panties?), there is no prohibition against visible tattoos. Huh. Who dares me to push the envelope on this one?

Does this only trigger once you're actually in the cab? Because the few cabs that do pull over for me tend to ask me where I'm going before they unlock the door.

I also love the "turn the off duty light on as soon as they see me" trick, especially if they have to stop and wait right next to me at a red light.

Is this like the jaywalking law in NY?

It's not pushing the envelope until you've had your tounge split.*






* Unless, possibly, you have more piercings than Christina Aguilera. In that event, we'll have to go to the judges.

Edited to add: Going full commando will at least get you a look at the envelope.

One of my tattoos is visible even in traditional business attire. The other is visible in quite a bit of tasteful business casual attire. Unless the tattoo is patently offensive (naked woman, swastika, beavis or butthead) I'd say its none of your business.

Where on earth are your tattoos? Unless you are talking ankle I can't imagine. Neither of my tattoos are visible in business attire.

Who wants to explain the style problems with this post, not to mention the utter lack of comprehension of my point. And I already am commando, bitch. Every other Friday.

Your "tangy" and "zesty" forehead script tats must be quite the conversation starter at depos.
