Do We Understand?
This cab driver shared a harrowing experience he had while working for a Russian-owned cab company in Chicago. Although he isn’t fluent, he does understand the basics of the language. One evening he was driving around two men who were discussing some unsavory topics in Russian, assuming the driver didn’t understand.
He was freaking out throughout the ride – and probably rightly so – but all was well until he blew his own cover. When he dropped them off, he automatically said, “Good night,” in Russian. The look he got in response was lethal. The gentleman then walks over to the driver’s window, hands him $100, and says, “My friend, do we understand?” You bet your life the driver understood! He drove off and never looked back.
