Landed at ORD with zero unread. Thought this is Xmas morning and I'm still dreaming. Called IT and found out outlook server down. Ugh now what do I do? Chat with my cab driver? Ewwww

Because you clearly said you were looking for something to do, but you didn't want to talk to the driver. And why are you talking in the third person? You're the OP...

OP didn't say he or she thought that he or she was too good for anything. Some of us just don't like making small talk.

When do you fly out Thursday? Pre flight beers?

I shared the (dis)pleasure of arriving at ORD this morning. Always down for drinks.

Wonder why Acn1's first reaction was like that. if you really believe "we're all people", you wouldn't have interpreted the OP that way in the first place.

First, OP as in interpreting the original post, not me as a person…secondly, there were two pieces in "not wanting to talk to cab driver". It could be not wanting to talk or not wanting to talk to the cab driver. Again, it depends on how you look at things.
