Hungers Mother ?
« on: March 05, 2019, 06:08:28 am »
I had a fare One night, it was after midnight on a Wednesday night, a drunk approx 55 year old man sits in carrying a big takeaway bag from the local chipper, he is well steamed but he gives me his address and I drive him there. The fare is a Tenner and he puts his chip bag on the floor and roots out a mountain of coins from his pocket, he drunkenly counts out the Tenner in coins and hands it to me whilst dropping more coins on the floor, he picks up his chip bag and very drunkenly exits the cab, once out of the cab he drops all the remaining coins on the side of the road and walks off in to his home. I drive off up to the end of the cul-de-sac, do a U-turn and drive back down to see all his dropped coins on the roadside, yer-man-o is gone off in home pissed as a coot and as it's after midnight there is not a soul in sight.

So what should I do ?

Option 1; Stop, pick up and pocket the coins and say nothing.
Option 2; Stop, pick up the coins and knock at yer-man-o's door to return them.
Option 3; Drive away and forget about it.
Option 4; Stop, pick up the coins and bring them to the Garda station giving them the pax address.

He who fears he will suffer, already suffers because he fears.

Yea, that's what I thought too !

It was either that or Option 3, but it bugged me to think of some Hi-vis jacketed power walker getting the booty the next morning.
22.40 all in between the dropped coins in the cab and on the roadside,  C:-)

I agree with that but still it's nice when you fuel up and pay fer it all with coins, it's like getting Free Fuel !

The fact that you did the U turn is proof that the only option in your mind was Number 1 and then return to pick up what he left on the ground

The taxi industry is not in a good place if drivers have to resort to robbing men that had a few too many scoops.
