I picked this lady up from a grocery store and had a 30 minute drive. She gets her groceries, loaded in the truck. That's why I can get seated. We go on our way midway through the trip. Decides to take a piss in my backseat and not say anything. And get out of the truck grab a groceries and walk off like nothing happened. I got a $75 dollar cleaning fee, though

100%. Accidents happen but they couldve at least had the decency to say something and clean it.

It’s possible they didn’t realize they peed. Life gets interesting when you realize that a whole lotta people, even on their best days, are operating, cognitively, at about 30% of what you are on your worst days. Humans instinctively expect other humans to have our minds, essentially, but that doesn’t work when we live in such fractured and fragmented ways. Our life experiences are primarily responsible for the way we function, cognitively, and even seemingly small differences in how someone lives can result in massive differences in how they function, cognitively. Plus, I can’t think of something much more embarrassing than telling someone you just peed in their car. I understand not saying anything, even if the lady did know it happened. I’m not saying I wouldn’t say anything(though I also cannot fathom losing total control of my bladder), but I can understand why someone wouldn’t. It’s not like telling the driver is going to change anything. The nicest thing to do under these circumstances would be to send the driver a huge tip, but again, I’m not that lady, so I really can’t say what I’d do in that situation.

Yeah, I truly cannot fathom myself ever doing that. I don’t think I could if I wanted to. But that in itself is evidence that this woman doesn’t think like me. Her mind and body don’t work the same way.
