Koohii stories:
1) [radical_tyro] 17-6-2007(256): It's your own responsibility to pay the bus fare with the correct number of shells/money.
2) [henroski] 18-2-2007(32): In Japan they have automatic ticket gates so you cant easily cheat on your train fare. In England however the ticket gates are fairly open. It is a different kind of system. In England you are given the RESPONSIBILITY to put in the right amount of MONEY, but if you are caught cheating, the fines are stiff and you feel like a real CHINCHIN. "un.CHIN".
3) [dtstutz] 14-7-2008(20): Belligerent passenger to bus driver: "Look buddy, I'll pay the fare if you just give me some change for my $20 bill!" Bus driver: "Hey it's your responsibility to bring the right amount of cash. Now get off the bus if you can't pay the fare." Don't confuse with token (#1001 符) - fairness goes with responsibility.
4) [Hujis] 8-2-2009(10): In Japan you often pay the fare when you get off the bus. You have to put the correct change in to a machine. It's your responsibility to make sure you have the correct money/shells ready so as not to waste time. There is another machine you can put bills and large coins in to, which dispenses smaller change at the bottom.
5) [dingomick] 14-2-2007(10): Mr. T walks out on his porter job and hails a cab. The cabbie tells him how much the ridiculous fare is and out of spite Mr. T pays him with shells he's kept in his ass.
