You Just Got Hit Über Hard By Karma

I had a very long commute to work. Some days when I was working late, I would take a [Rideshare] home rather than go through the pain of changing several trains. It was expensive but comfortable. To keep a track of how much I was spending on [Rideshare], I had a separate bank account, and I would use only that account to pay for [Rideshare].

My manager found out during one conversation that I made only online payments to [Rideshare] and rarely carried cash on me. She decided to take advantage of this. One day, she pretended that she had lost her phone and needed to book a cab for her father. She asked if I could book it for her. I obliged — not telling her that I had opted for payment in cash rather than online payment while confirming the booking. This meant she’d have to pay for herself.

It turned out to be a good thing that I had made that switch. She kept the cab for six hours and proceeded to roam all over the city.

The next day, she asked me why I had not informed her that payment was in cash. I showed her the map of the route she had traveled and the time the cab stayed with her.

No. You are really not as smart as you think.
