Someone's just picked me up, driven me
20 miles for a few pints then said grab a taxi back. That's me out another 60 bucks!!!! FFS.
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
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?

Loved this comment from Ron in Birkenhead: "Hmm . . . Shot til he finally stopped? I suppose tasering the guy and dragging him off was just too much trouble?"
As someone else commented, pity Ron wasn't there to run the operation!
Wouldn't that have resulted in the already seriously injured victim being tasered too?
