The Mutual Exchange of Stereotypes…

Taxi Driver: Oh you’re European – you guys are afraid of guns, right?
Us: Um, well, it’s not that we’re afraid of them, we just have very tight gun control.
Taxi Driver: I love guns. I love going out into the desert and shooting shit.
Us: …
Taxi Driver: You Europeans all pay really high taxes don’t you?

The Love-In

Taxi Driver: I love you British people! You don’t take yourselves seriously. And you guys are crazy about soccer! And that Ricky Hatton? He was a great guy. We loved him!
Us: We love America! It is hot here, and you have Buffalo wings and good hamburgers and free refills! And Vegas is so much fun! We don’t want to go home!
Taxi Driver: I love you guys!
Us: And we love you Mr Taxi Driver!

The Crazy

Taxi Driver: British? You like BBC?
Us: Sure
Taxi Driver: *switches radio to BBC World Service*
BBC World Service: *news report about somewhere in India with sewage problems*
Taxi Driver: Sewage! Ha ha ha ha ha! That’s funny.
Us: Um…
BBC World Service: *news report about something else bad happening somewhere else in the world*
Taxi Driver: Ha! Hahahahahahaa!
Us: We’ll just… this is us! We’ll just get out right here! No really, STOP THE CAR. OK thankyou.
