"Thank you for your concern. See you."

To my dismay, none of the available cars were nearby. It would take a freaking thirty minutes for the nearest car to arrive.
"Godammit!" I almost angrily threw my phone on the floor. "Why isn't there a taxi? It's not even that late." My voice echoed in the empty street.

And right there, I firmly concluded that if I needed to get on my knees for whoever the driver was to helptill I atleast get a taxi, I would. Thankfully, the car stopped before me.
