Respectable Driver.

It's been..a week..maybe..since the last time i was attending my french class..And today, i skipped my french class as well..i'm about to face the mid term test next week..and i got like, bunch and bunch of chapter to memorize along with the effin' new terms, lexicon, you named it..

And frankly, it stressed me out..!!I'm fucked up..!!I'm fed up..!!And yes, i cant even think about my french class any longer..it just..i need to, at least, memorized some of them..i have to pass every subject in one attempt..i dont need and i dont want, any kind or any form of fiasco right this very moment..just for the next two years..no..two and a half..

Okay, enough with the grumbling and whining..This post is supposed to tell you about the cab driver i met today..LOL..

So, i skipped my french class, and go home straightaway..i already mention it..one thing i should regret, i dont even bother to read his name..very unusual me..This guy, maybe around late 30..probably already have a family..he's speaks with a very thick javanese accent..and he's kind as well..

He talks a lot..and i dont get annoyed by that..and he's constantly apologizing for choosing a bad direction..and sometimes he shows a repentant feeling about it..and of course i tried to said that i was fine and cool with it..a couple times actually..

He's quite honest person..the first time i got on his cab, he's technically asked me about CiWalk, and how expensive stuff in there..and he told me about his story and a woman, an employee i guess..He asked this woman about the coffee that she brought..He's wondering about the price and if he can buy it with Rp 10.000,-...and the woman answer him arrogantly.."Ya nggak lah mas..ini secangkir harganya Rp 45.000,-.."

WTF! And he says to me.."Iya, padahal baunya sama kaya gini..saya kan beli cuma Rp 2.000 doank, baunya juga sama2 enak.." Big LOL..and im technically said, "sekalian gaya-gaya an kali pak.."

Hahahaha..i dont even care..And during the ride, as always..there's a traffic jam..like everywhere..he's kinda thought that he made a bad decision or something..i dont really understand..but he just keep apologizing..

However, i got home safely..which mean, i gotta pay..

S : Ini pak.. ( i gave him Rp 70.000,- and the meter only shows Rp 63.000,- something )

T : Loh kembaliannya..?

S : Udah pak, ga apa..ambil aja..

T : ( Counting ) waahh..!! Makasih ya..!! ( salting dan kaya bingung mau ngomong apa dan ngapain gt )

S : Iya pak, sama-sama..

T : (senyum2..)

I took a cab many times before..and i only met that kind of person less than 5..I used to said, that im quite loyal when it comes about tipping..for a cab driver..i think that they deserves it..we all know how bad the traffics in Jakarta can be..you know how selfish people can be when they're driving..and you know how annoying the motorcycle can be..and plus how far the distance that i took..technically, it's not far..but the traffic made it very far and long..and not to forget..they drive manual car..!!!

Some of them can be very greedy and grabby..Once, i gave Rp 10.000 for tip..and the driver only count them, afraid if i gave them less that what i should to pay i guess..and they didn't bother to say thank you..Ah! They didn't bother to even look back..!!Such a money-grabbing indeed..

Of course i feel incensed and irritate..for a while..but whatever..i gave it with sincerity..But this man..today's driver..i just thought that i should give him more..just a little extra..

Really wish i could meet more people like him..
