Overacting to cab drivers questions

Changednameforthis1000 · 03/05/2017 23:49

Am maybe a little paranoid but wasn't keen this evening on questions asked by cab driver. I'm quite chatty so did the usual "have you been on long, will it be a long shift etc". However he asked me... "what does your hisbiand do", does he work long hours, do you have a dog, what type of dog is that, is that an aggressive dog and is it like a guard dog, do you use your dog as a guard dog" ... am I being a bit paranoid but those questions seemed a bit off

Yes that would make menoaranoid too

Definitely not the normal IMO.

He was making conversation - probably bored.

I think you're more than a little paranoid!

I don't think of myself as a paranoid person, and I'd find those questions odd. I hope you told him your husband is a trained assassin and that your Doberman, German Shepherd, and Pit Bull are all trained to go straight for the throat and or crotch. Wink

Were there any less burglary based questions?

^^ That!

I lie in these situations.

Was he taking you to or from your house? Pre-cooked cab you could trace if you needed to or pick up on the street?
