It's like the cab driver is so afraid to stop in the right place, he stops in the wrong one. It goes like this:
Me: Can you let me off up there, on the right?
Driver: On the right?
Me: Yes, on the right.
Driver: Up here, on the right?
Me: Yes, up there.
Driver: Here?
Me: No, up there, to the right. (Pointing)
Driver: On the right?
Me: Yes, over there, on the right.
Driver: Here? (Putting on the brakes, possibly signalling, jerking the car) Here?
Me: Yes, here! Stop, please! Here!
Driver: The right?
Me: Yes, here, on the right! (Sighing, pleased the car has stop moving, and the "Right? Here? Right? Here?" business is over. For now.)
