She even refuses to pay because the driver was "distracted" throughout the whole journey. Fortunately, her friend pays and tips, apologising for the first one's stupidity (and revealing that the boyfriend actually works at a fast food place).

** [[https://notalwaysright.com/about-to-be-dis-appointed-part-12/332470/ This man]] has anxiety over making phone appointments and dislikes unwanted calls, which is fair enough - but he decides that to get around this problem he's going to make all of his appointments providing the contact number of a library helpline instead of his own and expect them to manage his calendar for him (without asking them beforehand, of course). Even when asked to stop he keeps doing it, only finally giving in when the library start cancelling his appointments on him.
