One Way Fare

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070208/ap_on_fe_st/honest_cabbie

So the above is a link to an incredible story about a NYC cabbie returning a passenger's lost diamonds. It really renews my faith in the human spirit and reaffirms my belief that we all have the potential to be good people.

HOWEVER, the story also details how the passenger initially left the driver only a .30 tip on a $11 fare. For her gratitude, she rewarded him with a check for a mere $100, which he humbly accepted. $100 for a case full of diamond jewelery. This man saved her ass and she gives him $100. What a fucking bitch. Had the Moxie L been driving the cab, undoubtedly she would have returned the diamonds, but she would have done so throwing the case at the woman's head as she sped by in her cab. Not that I can't use $100, but she could have kept that AND her .30 tip. It's the principal.

I'm glad good people like the cabbie exist, because I certainly aint one of them.
