My uncle is a cabbie (taxi driver – but in a black cab common in England). It is around the early to mid-eighties. He is taking two women from the centre of town to the northern outskirts late one Friday night. Of the two, one is tipsy, but not drunk like the other.
Less-Drunk Woman: “Can my friend be dropped off first?”
After she’s scooped her friend out of the cab and into her front door, she returns to the cab and sits in the front.
Less-Drunk Woman: “I expect you get propositioned a lot.”
Uncle: Somewhat nervously. “Sometimes.”
Less-Drunk Woman: “I expect, some even offer it up on a plate, don’t they?”
My uncle at this point is more than a little uncomfortable and just laughs. She falls silent after that and when they reach her destination, she pays and goes to leave the cab.
Less-Drunk Woman: “Would you like to come in?”
Uncle: “I don’t think so, but thank you.”
Less-Drunk Woman: “I have a plate…”
NOT my story, but I have had a few bad dates. My luck was I asked out three different ladies who all were in the same graduating class and knew each other. Lucked out on my fourth one since she was the one I married!

Difficult task, but not impossible.
