Angry man steals cab

Last Thursday, an irate passenger stole the taxi he had been riding in after having to wait in a blocked street. According to the Shanghai Daily, the man, surnamed Wang lost his temper when a truck blocked the traffic of Wanping Lu in Xuhui District. After arguing with the truck driver he "broke off the taxi's rear-view mirror and hit himself over the head with it", and then proceeded to smash the taxi's meter. Subsequently Wang injured the taxi driver, managed to take his keys and drove off. Wang was soon detained and the taxi later found abandoned.

Himself? Someone needs an English lesson.

Sounds like a perfectly rational response to me.

Whenever the driver has the radio slightly too loud, my first response is to set fire to the seats.

What time was this? It could have been me...there are a number of hours unnaccounted for, and my head hurt like fuck on Sunday morning

Quick! Check your ID card, is your name Wang?
