Road rage never pays off: An off-duty firefighter got into a shouting match with a cab driver while on an Upper West Side street...and he also managed to get arrested for drunk driving. According to the Daily News, "Sean Farrell, 36, was driving a 2005 Ford Explorer north on Amsterdam Ave. at 3:15 a.m. when a yellow cab pulled in front of him near W. 79th St... When the vehicles stopped at a red light, Farrell began screaming at the cabbie - which caught the attention of a passing cop, police said." The police then determined he was drunk and charged him with DWI; the FDNY has suspended him for 30 days without pay from his position at Engine Co. 250 in Parkville, Brooklyn.
