Was at a family friend’s party today and was talking to a couple who got married last summer. Know the girl from childhood, her husband I never really talked to except briefly last year at their wedding. Seems like a nice guy.
My cousin’s 10 year old daughter was next to me and she asks him “Hey, you look really familiar. Were you a taxi driver in London once?”
Dude works for IBM.
Since my cousin wasn’t at the party, I apologized to him and told her “Ugh, *name*... You can’t tell people things like that.”

That nothing.
Last fall a co-worker on mat leave came in with her new born son. We she left on mat leave & said she was pregnant with twins, she had one with her. I ask if the other one with her partner, she told me that it was still-born. We all knew that she was supposed to have twins.

Whoops, forgot to add the part he works for a large computer company. It just comes off a bit rude... even though she didn’t know or mean it that way

Oof, that’s rough. But why did she bring the baby to the office?

I cannot relate to this story. Plus when did London Taxi companies start using Sequoias? smh.

You can’t assume all Opponauts look alike.

Bah! That’s nothing. Most folks understand that kids don’t have a filter and let these things slide...

Taxi driver and IBM worker makes me think in this context maybe he’s of Indian decent??? I dunno, still all very vague

I’m going to assume this was a veiled way of saying he was of a different ethnicity?

I think I’d rather drive a taxi than work for IBM.

You quite clearly witnessed the activation of a cold-war sleeper agent.
“Were you a taxi driver in London once?” is the most code-phrase thing I’ve ever heard.

That phrase/idea is almost worth writing a book around.
