Who's the Moron?

While crossing a busy intersection in Times Square, a taxi got caught "blocking the box" and had to go in reverse a bit to avoid blocking the oncoming traffic. This sudden reversal inconvenienced me and the woman walking near me ever so slightly. But, the woman decided to let the driver know how she felt by screaming into his window as she passed it,
"Moron! It's no wonder you drive a taxi for a living!"
She looked at me for approval, to which I replied,
"My brother was a taxi driver. But, then he got killed."

She looked confused, ashamed, embarrassed, and humiliated. Just like she hoped the taxi driver would after her rant.

I sure do miss that brother I never had.
