Ungrateful people. I volunteer as a driver, often taking people to hospital appointments. I've just taken a couple to and from the hospital.
I smiled, said hello and commented on the weather. Fairly standard stuff. I received grunts in reply and then complete silence. After the appointment when they got back in my car, I tried again, again nothing. The only thing they asked was how much for the journey (I don't get paid for using my own car, in fact the 0.45 pence a mile I receive, barely covers fuel, let alone wear and tear). I said £4.50 (the journey was 15 miles), he threw a £20 at me, luckily I had the change.
Then, not even a thank you. I don't want undying gratitude. Grrrrr. Plus they didn't smell very good and I had to open the windows once they'd gone.
I am a volunteer, using my own car, I won't be taking them again.
