Wait, so the taxi driver paid you?

Lots of crazy things happen here in Arusha, we have constant cleaning of dirt roads, three people not doing the job of one person, the security guard with the mirror he uses as a metal detector under cars, but the funniest story so far has to be the drunk taxi driver who paid interns to drive them home.

After the usual festivities at Via Via a few weeks ago, a few interns called their regular taxi driver for a lift home. After dropping off one of the interns, the rest realised that the driver was more drunk then they were, so they offered to drive his car the rest of the way home (a not unusual occurrence here).

When they arrived at their place, the intern driving turned around to the driver, who’s in the back seat, and says “That’ll be TSH3,000″. The driver, being so inebriated, actually paid him the money!

It gets better.

Once everyone left the taxi, the driver realises that something wasn’t right and says to them “Wait, wait, you need to pay me.” So the intern then replies to him “How about TSH3,000?”. He agrees and accepts the TSH3,000 that he has just given to them as payment!

I think this story could only be better if it happened with a Dalla-Dalla.
