So I was late & had to take a cab to the psych hospital for a meeting...
I tell the cab driver the address. To which he replies (while laughing) " oh are you crazy".... I was shocked, pissed off, & hurt tremendously. But felt like I can handle this guys ignorance, and this will be an opportunity to educate. So I did a spiel about the inappropriateness of his comment & the hurtfulness. And told him that he could end up hospitalized one day as no one is immune. He was quiet. Non apologetic & turned on the radio.
I didn't tip him. Before I got out I said that I really hope he keeps his comments to himself in the future. To which he laughed and passive aggressively told me to have a nice weekend. Omi goodness!
I've been calling the cab co to complain (unable to get through). Am I overreacting? What ignorance!

What would you have done?
I felt like crying. But I felt like I needed to try to get this guy to at least look at his impact on others. What a douchebag.
