THE "SHARING" AUNTY
I learnt a lesson: NEVER EVER SHARE CAB WITH AN AUNTY!
Can you believe how cunning and thick-skin some aunties can be? My colleague, Lee and i were going out for dinner after work. It was supposed to be a relaxing friday night out. We decided to take a cab from Clementi and waited patiently at the taxi stand for our turn. While we were discussing about our dinner plans, the aunty queuing in front of us overheard our conversations and found out that we were going to Bt Batok.
Immediately jumping at the chance to save some money, she offered,
"Hey... since i am going to bt batok ave 4, why don't we share a cab? It should be on the way and we can help each other to save cost as well right?"
Thinking that what she said was quite true, we got on the cab together with that aunty. In fact, all the while we were secretly thankful that she helped to entertain the taxi driver. That means both of us can save the trouble of making small talks with some nosey drivers. When we finally reached our destination, the fare came up to around $7. Lee handed the aunty $6, assuming that the aunty will automatically returned her about $2 since we agreed to "share" the cost. Guess how that shameless aunty reacted?
"Eh Eh Eh! Don't go yet. You still short of $1. You don't expect me to pay for you right?"
What the hell!!! I thought we were supposed to share? So "sharing" in 'aunty term' means "You pay I save"? Stupid aunty. Really Buay Pai Seh~ I think her skin must be so thick that even a mosquito will have difficulty sucking any blood out of her. *FUMES* On the hind sight, i should have insulted her back by saying,
"Eh... Aunty. Since that's the case, shouldn't you return us the change since the fare is not $7 exact? You don't expect us to pay that extra few cents for you right?"
In the end, seeing that she is just an aunty plus we were already starving by then, Lee paid her the extra $1 and we got off from the cab. After that, Lee told me something which i think i did not pay attention to while in the cab. She said that the aunty kept telling the driver to let us alight first when actually we passed by Bt Batok Ave 4 before we reached our destination. NO WONDER~ So that aunty had already planned her evil scheme all along and we fell into her trap. Sharing is Caring? More like Sharing is Cheating. *ANGRY* Actually it is not the extra money that we got to fork out that makes us so irritated. It is the way the aunty schemed her way through just to save that extra few dollars. Hello! Want to save money go take bus lah!
Now i learn never to judge a book by its cover. Next time, I AM NOT GOING TO SHARE A CAB WITH A STRANGER, unless you are Beckham or Takeshi Kaneshiro. Haha...
