When a cab driver asks you about your boyfriend, there is a narrow window of time in which you can answer before he starts to make assumptions.
If you answer quickly enough (in the affirmative. Always the affirmative. Even if you’ve been single for years. You know that coffee mug that you use compulsively every morning? It’s name is now Trevor. And it is dependable, lovable, and quite the perfect companion in every way.) he will usually leave you alone for the rest of the trip. And you’ve just saved yourself an entire cab ride of wondering at what point you should just jump out of the moving vehicle because man he has gotten creepy.
