The Change

I was on board a cab 3 hours ago.

And I thought I would have a peace time in the cab BUT NO!

Taxi driver, "You want to go by AYE?"

(I was from Holland Village and I am going home; Jurong)

I said, "No, just go all the way straight?"

Why go all the way straight? Go AYE better.

I replied, "Just go straight..."

GOT ALOT OF TRAFFIC LIGHTS YOU KNOW?!

"YA!" I replied agitatedly.

This is a minor case.

The major one was when I reached my destination, the fare read, "$12".

So I took out 2 $10 notes and gave him.

Taxi driver, "You got $2?"

I said no.

"You got coins?"

I scrambled to find my coins in my pockets.

NO.

But I don't have small notes, said the driver.

I don't have $2 uncle.

The taxi driver took out his wallet and flashed to me, "I only have one $2 note."

BUT I DON'T HAVE $2 with me. If you don't mind taking just $10, then it will save all the trouble! I said.

No, replied the uncle.

I was getting very frustrated.

Is it my problem that I don't have an exact change?

I didn't give $50 note, you know?

I gave $20 and all the taxi driver needed to do was to give me back $8 change.

Is it my FAULT that I don't have an exact change?

Then he told me to pay by NETS.

What if that time, I didn't carry my atm card out with me?

What will the scenario be?

I bet it will turn ugly.

I took out my ATM card and paid by nets. AND BLOODY HELL, I HAVE TO PAY ADDITIONAL $0.30 for using my nets.

What the heck?
