IF the Norwegian didn't tell the driver he's almost as much to blame as the driver.

[sambum]

"He assumed his passenger was lying down asleep."

"He'd done 60kms without realising."

 

I knew that legalising  cannabis would have side effects!

And that ladies and gentlemen is exactly how much attention they to pay to the road. Zilch

How can people who are this brainless be allowed to drive on the roads?

This happened to my wife and me, but the taxi was a boat and we were left stranded on Koh Thale Waek ????????

That's a big assumption, not everybody is aiming to cheat people.

People don't turn around when they back up anymore because they use the backup camera. 

 

Honest mistake ????

If it had been a Liverpool scally he wouldn't have come back and he could have said goodbye to his luggage as well.

I once came back from Tesco and my pickup was loaded with shopping that I hadn't bought!

 

I had approached the car from the front, got in and drove off. I didn't see the stuff in the back until I got home. I had only gone there to buy a phone case and pay my phone bill

 

A Thai man apparently, had mistaken my pickup for his and loaded his shopping into it. I believe he then went back inside to collect his wife and kids and I had already buggered off.

 

So daft things do happen.

Did you take it back to Tesco, or said <deleted> it, I'll enjoy the free beer?

I have never left a passenger behind.

A $20,000.00 radio receiver, yes, but not any human beings!

Couldn't look around to check if passenger OK because he had brake issues. Come on, brakes gotta be somewhere in every post.

I agree.  I suspect we've both been in Thailand too long.

I was and still am one of very few foreigners here, it didn't take him long to find out whose the car belonged to and who I was!

 

He arrived at the house 30 minutes later, we only live a mile from, what was then,Tesco.

 

He actually attempted to say to my other half that I had watched him load the stuff in and was laughing about it, and that was, believe me, absolute nonsense..........talk about trying to shift the blame!

What's "so weird" about the hotel staff telling him to return to the petrol station to collect his passenger who he's left behind?

Because he didn't have the brains to figure that out for himself without being told.

You think that he didn't have an obligation to report the missing passenger to his boss and that he wouldn't have then been given instructions, whether he "had the brains" or not?

It says he contacted the hotel staff and was given instructions, no mention of his 'Boss '

 

or are we ' nitpicking for the sake of it? '

For the purpose of this thread,  and the tourist's journey, I was assuming that the hotel from where he was driven was the driver's boss.   I was not "nit-picking for the sake of it" but it sure looks as though you are.

"Whatever", indeed.
