I can't feel pity for this man. He posted that photo of himself. I wish the Uber would've run him over and then charged him extra for damages.

http://www.foxnews.com/auto/2018/07/11/uber-rider-charged-250-for-7-minute-trip.html

quote:

Iain McHenry was visiting Miami from England when he booked a $9.07 ride to his hotel on the evening June 4, only to wake up the next morning to find that he’d been charged $252.05 for the seven-minute trip.

It turns out that the driver had continued on to Port St. Lucie 115 miles away, then returned to the hotel hours later before ending the fare.

I thought Notch lived in LA now.

That's why when I wish to adjourn my promenade I carry my cane or walkingstick with me into the vestibule of the motorcarriage. Adorned as I am, a gentleman, the neerdowell driver shall attempt no banditry, for I am a man of the world. He senses, as an animal senses, the hanzo blade within my cane. Tarry not, driver. I shall deign that you have two of whatever your fee is, but make haste to the Lego Factory.

As much as I want to hate on this fat, fedora-wearing dumbass, I loving hate Uber and all it stands for. I shall pray for a class-action lawsuit to get this man a taxi coupon, end Uber as a company, and leave Travis Kalanick in perpetual poverty. He can join the hand job gig economy.

He tweets about how awesome it is being white in the most expensive house in California and tipping people thousands of dollars on Twitch while everyone simultaneously groans when finding out Notch is watching them. He's a literal billionaire who tweets about how he saw boobs one time on his birthday and has a room dedicated to just candy. He chumped out on giving a fair share of his wealth to his friends/coworkers that actually made mine craft what it is and whines about how he has no friends because of that.

i'm pretty sure this is his twitter using my state of the art 'google for name' technique

https://twitter.com/iainmchenry?lang=en

complaining about a dirty seat and tray on a plane

complaining about a train service not being shown on wallboards

complaining about broken turnstyles

complaining about being on hold trying to cancel a membership

and the best, complaining about 'audacious laughing'

what's his SA name??

Despite his exuberant and portly appearance, on the inside he is a shrunken, shriveled curmudgeon of a manlet.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
If I was notch I would just watch TV, jerk off and play video games all day and be happy as a clam.

Drive up to your local government and scream "help! I have freaky freak feet" they will put you on a disability stipend and now begins euphoria.

if I was a billionaire and still managed to cry about how no one likes me on Twitter all day to the point that Snoop Dogg says "chill bro come smoke weed with me" but then I turn him down and cry more then I might just want to kill myself idk


What I'm saying is I'm not sure if jealous is the right word. I'm just part of the howling chorus that haunts him.

Companies like Uber and AirBnB didn't innovate by inventing apps, they innovated by inventing apps that let them magically avoid regulations.

wait the story says that the hotel was indeed his destination and the only reason he could dispute the charge was because he proved that he indeed was in his hotel room from 11pm-3am on his miami vacation
