[Ulysses]

As much as I want to like this, I have to say that it sounds like a complete douchebag move. This is based on your statement that there was a "taxi line." If this were a street and Phil were standing in the middle of the block and shaniac walked by him closer to the corner and sniped the cab, awesome. But at a club with a taxi line? Douche. That's not New York rules. That's how shaniac gets his ass kicked in New York.
