Q: Do you do that effeminate little wrist wave to hail a cab?

Dumb question, I know, but I'm bored. For the record I do the wave, though sometimes I embarrass the wife by calling out "Coo-wee!" as I do it.

No, I do it falsetto with one leg off the floor like a 50s housewife. She swears one more time and she'll file for divorce.

No, I can't say that I have developed that habit. There again, I very infrequently use taxis and, when I do, it is usually from the taxi rank where they wait in line.

(raise both eyebrows and head)

Shining_brow:

So, you said 'phone answer'...  did you, or did you not, include the "ay bro" with it?

Yes, I always do that girly move. I even walk to the taxi with short, girly steps and all happiness....

In Anshan, none would gave me a ride at night in freezing weather mastards, so now I always comply  .

 

But then, I rarely use cabs.

what about village bikes?

I'm semi-pro bike rider, so I can't ride clumsy-es.

My bike weight is only 7kg, 'Ti, Al frame'. It's more 'sailing boat' than 'push-hard-wheels'.

I can't see it, but that's acrobatic most likely.

I'm more peaceful. No helmet, silence with bike gear clicks only, and 'sailing'...
