    I'm ok.

    Just had a taxi driver get irate at me for only giving him a $1.50 tip on a $8.50 fare. Seemed to think because I was heading to Silicon Valley I should be taking a cab for $200 as opposed to the train for $6.75 (it actually cost).

    I left to the angry sounds of a this crazy guy shouting 'you're cheap man, you're a bum!'

    That's no way to get tips.

      You gave him a tip and he swore at you? I swear when I give tips. Not that I ever tip or take taxis.

      And the train fare was $6.75 for a sixty mile trip?

                    Wait till you come back the other way and find out that a pint in your old local will cost you nearly $7us!! When the NFL did a game in the UK a couple of years ago. a few guys came over from the us office. They came in on the monday crying about the fact that a couple of beers and a hotdog had cost them $30

                      They were almost certainly both off their heads on drugs.
