Reply #5: Let me ask you this

You get in a can and tell the driver where you want to go. He says OK. So, he makes a wrong turn, but you're patient because you figure he's a cab driver and knows where he's going. So, he makes another wrong turn, taking you further in the wrong direction. Still, you say nothing. You're patient. Then, another wrong turn.

At what point do you say "Hey, buddy, where the fuck are you going?" For me, it's usually about the third wrong turn.

When you're headed in the wrong direction, patience is not a virtue.
