I am amused. Not about phone guy (because *wtf*??) but because of how you handled this. The transcript of the conversation made me grin at first: How can this guy be such an idiot?
Then it gets less amusing. The "lady... or a woman" comment induces just a giant *WTF, is that idiot for real*?
Yep *nods* he's an asshole.

And that driver better be impressed by your extreme capability. *g* (Although it would be even better if your being a woman wouldn't even make him raise an eyebrow.)
