Lord God Angry Over Taxi Drivers Decision to Return Money

Of course the world isn't black and white. But a black and white pronouncement on the appropriateness of the $32 was made. 8,000 miles away we're making fun of the woman for giving too little when we know almost nothing about the circumstances.

Why assume the worst?

As for my neighbor it would depend. If I didn't know the person I wouldn't let them help me. If they were a friend I'd say thanks and that would be the end of it, I don't think there's a balance sheet to be balanced at some point. Though, since they're obviously at my home they are welcome to anything in they'd like from the fridge whether they move the coffee table or not.

Personally, giving someone nine months ($1,000) pay for simply doing their job does seem excessive (and, to me, insultingly so).
