Any taxi driver will get angry and chase you if you intentionally run away without paying what you owe.

I was coming back from university to home. I saw a taxi driver dropping off his passenger. That takes my mind to two year ago about my friends who ran away from taxi driver in CST.
A good human being will not always be good. A bad human can also be good some day. The good and the bad entirely depend on the situation and the time. My two friends, X and Y, are not only good guys but also honest. Both X and Y are short. X love playing football. He is a die-hard fan of Messi, the world's best player, and the WWE super star, one and only John Cena. And Y is expert at playing musical instruments and, of course, making short video clips.

My two good friends went to Phuntsholing town to just have dinner after a tiring term test II. They decided to have dinner at the hotel "Asian Kitchen" as soon as they arrived in Phuntsholing, not realising the price of the food there. They ordered chicken chili, mushroom chili, ema datse, phaksha paa, beef chili, dal, and two plates of rice. They also ordered the drinks. After more than 40 minutes, the waiter came with the bill. You won't be surprised with the amount of the bill because the quantity they order will be directly proportional to the price. The total cost was Nu. 1990.00. Luckily, they had Nu. 2000 in their hand. They paid and came out of the hotel to a nearby ATM to withdraw money for the taxi fare. 
It was already night. It was 11 p.m. Unfortunately, ATM machines are all out of service. They couldn't withdraw money. Here comes their bad plan. The plan was to escape from the taxi driver as soon as they came out of the taxi while reaching CST. They caught one taxi and asked for the fare. The driver is charging them 250 as it was at night. 
They decided to go but kept the plan in their mind. They were approaching CST. They told the driver to drop them near the gate. No sooner had they come out of the taxi, they started to run towards Phajoding. The poor taxi driver chased them but couldn't catch the flying two drunken men. However, he threw a stone behind them and hit Y. They finally escaped from the scene. 
So, there are no good and bad people. 
The story doesn't end with the above. They were caught by the police the next day. I will continue next time.
