Weird lady that I've encountered..

This is something that I would like to share to you guys.. a 'real' situation that I've encountered yesterday (2 Jul) morning.

I was late for work and was standing at the road side waiting for a cab. Across the road was a lady waiting for cab too. She looked impatient and kept looking at her watch. As there wasn't any available cab passing by, I've called for a cab and was waiting for the cab to arrive..

What amuse me at this moment was the lady opposite the road has crossed over the road and stopped about 5 metres infront of me. In my heart, I was thinking "what the hell are you tryig to do??". (I've taken some shots of the location where the lady was standing.. was quite pissed off at the moment.. oopps)

She kept trying to hail for a cab, not caring if the cabs were hired or not. Although at that time I'm waiting for my 'booked' cab to pick me up, I just felt so angry.. Supposed if I didn't book for a cab and was waiting for any available cab too, this means that she will stop the cab before me.. Wasn't that ridiculous?? Anyway....

The best thing was when my 'booked' cab was driving towards 'us', she wanted to stop that cab too. I believed the driver thought that this lady was the person who has made the booking so he slowed down the vehicle. Luckily I did see that car plate, and signalled the driver that I am the caller. Hence, the driver didn't stop his cab.

Just don't understand why she don't feel awkward when she walked and stood infront of any person who is waiting for a cab? So what if she is in a hurry, does this mean that other people are not in a hurry?
