And you thought everything in the UK is good.

London.

One day, we called a cab company and told them that we need to go to C and asked for the price and blablabla. Price was deal and everyone's happy.

The following morning, the cab came on time. Great.

A big muscular man came out from the car. A female friend, my mom, and I, were carrying our backpacks and were having 2 extremely big and heavy luggage as well. We were expecting that man to help us out. But no, he just stood over there. We had to carry the luggage from the ground to the car after realising that that man wasn't helping at all. At this moment, very reluctantly, that man helped out. Very easily, he got the first luggage into the car in just a blink. Then the second one after that.

In the cab, that man said something like "I'm gonna stop at B. If you want me to stop at C, you have to pay extra one pound."

"Why?"

"Because just now when I carried the luggage you weren't helping me out. What if I break my back? Who's gonna pay?"

"Alright, just stop at B then."

"But it's kinda far for you to walk to C with that 2 luggage ya know"

"Nevermind, B is fine"

"Alright. Fine with me too."
