today, coming back from running some errands at the food bazar, i faced another rickshaw driver who tried to make a quick rupee. although i live virtually around the corner, he demanded at least 40 rupees to drive me home. popular reasons: "i have to come back empty" or "extra night charge" (which does not exist).
i did what i always do in these situations: smile, turn around, and look for the next driver. i did not get this far this time because someone tapped me on my shoulder saying "rolling hills apartments? i can drop you off there!" he had been in line in front of me at the food bazar and must have heard how i told the driver where i wanted to go. that's what i thought.
turned out, however, that he knew me from one of those sleepy elevator rides in the morning. we actually live kind of next door.
that's what i call friendly&nice. thanks!
