第六天 － 雨天

Me, Neo and Jason met something weird yesterday (or rather, this morning at 4.30am)

We were just walking back to our vehicles when we were stopped by this taxi uncle, who asked us for help. Apparently there was this foreigner who did not want to pay her cab fare, and insisted that she speaks to the taxi driver's boss due to poor service.

We could see how flabbergasted the taxi driver was, and how he wanted to settle this entire saga in a cool manner. But after speaking to the lady (Jason did), it was apparent that she would not budge. The only solution that we 3 could think of was to drive her to the nearest police station, because the taxi driver did not do anything wrong at all. We were quite sure that the lady was actually just trying to do something funny, or that she was drunk. Even after the taxi driver told her to get off the cab and that he would not want her to pay the fare anymore, she still refused.

There was nothing we could do but walk away. The taxi driver apparently didn't want to drive to the police station, because it would mean more trouble and more time wasted. We then stood at our vehicles and watched from afar for about 5 minutes. Finally, the lady came out of the taxi, but somewhat unwillingly. What happened next, we do not understand. The lady seemed to be using her phone to dial someone, and the taxi driver was trying to stop her from doing so, and at the same time not being able to touch her at all for fear that she would use that against him.

But who could she be calling? The police? If she's a foreigner or a tourist, how would she know what number to dial? And moreover, was she really that confident that she would win the case? Everyone's definition of poor service is different, and I do not know what is the definition in the government's view, but I guess it's just totally ridiculous.

Why must she do such a thing to the poor old driver, who is just out to make ends meet? We could really see the face of the taxi driver and pity him that such a thing is happening. Hope that everything is fine for him now.

我觉得我还是用英文比较好 :)
