So the other night I ordered a taxi in an app.
Just like any other ride-hailing app, the app uses GPS to show the locations of the user (me) and the taxi on a map.
Which means the driver should have known where I was.

I& #39;m waiting at a street corner when the driver calls me.
"Where are you? Which street?" he wants to know.
I& #39;m slightly confused, but I decide to tell him the street name and the house number that I can see on the wall right next to me.
The number is 18.

The number is 18.
A few minutes later he calls me again.
"Where are you? I& #39;m here!"
I& #39;m at number 18, I tell him. And that he& #39;s not here. This makes him angry.
"18? You said 80!" he yells.
"Where are you? I& #39;m here!"
I& #39;m at number 18, I tell him. And that he& #39;s not here. This makes him angry.
"18? You said 80!" he yells.
I& #39;m still waiting in front of number 18 when he calls again. I can see his car in the app. He& #39;s not far from me.
"Where are you?" he yells.
I tell him that I& #39;m still at number 18.
He says: "No, you& #39;re not!"
I tell him to wait where he is. He& #39;s not far. I will walk to him.
"Where are you?" he yells.
I tell him that I& #39;m still at number 18.
He says: "No, you& #39;re not!"
I tell him to wait where he is. He& #39;s not far. I will walk to him.
I walk for a minute, then I see his car approaching.
"Where were you?" he yells at me from the window.
I say I was at number 18.
"No, you weren& #39;t!"
I tell him we can just look at the sign on the house, it& #39;s right there.
"Get in!" he yells. "You weren& #39;t there!"

"Get in!" he yells. "You weren& #39;t there!"
When we get to the house, I point to the sign on it. It has the street name and the number 18 written on it. And it& #39;s a pretty big sign.
He says: "Oh, we WILL look at it!"
Then he turns the car around in the middle of the street, apparently in order to get a better look.

I ask him if he can see the street name and the number.
He says yes.
And then, after a pause, he says: "But you said you were at number 19!"
He says yes.
And then, after a pause, he says: "But you said you were at number 19!"
- the end.
