Rental vehicle meter rigged

[neku]

The auto rickshaws are usually charging less than $3.5 for the route to or from the airport. However this time the vehicle meter was showing more than double the usual fare. Does anyone know how the vehicle meter is being hacked?

I don't know how they do it, but this is pretty common, i have heard about several cases like this before.

You hear all sorts of stories about how airport parking meters get messed with. Some meters have software to stop cheating. But sometimes, drivers or mechanics put a tiny chip inside to make it look like you've gone further than you actually have, jacking up the price. And some guys hit a secret button while they're driving that messes with the speed, making the meter run faster, so passengers get charged more without even realizing it. That's why a lot of people would rather just agree on a price up front so they don't get ripped off.

Some powerful people spread false rumors that I was new to the city and may have asked the auto driver to overcharge me, thinking I would not complain.

In reality this is a bad situation, because when influential people spread rumors, they are trying to humiliate you for no reason. They want to present you as an outsider, a know-it-all, someone who can exploit and charge a high price if they feel obligated to. But the truth is that you are not easily fooled, and if something goes wrong, you can stand up for yourself and speak up. This habit - the habit of using influence to spread lies - creates stress and makes life difficult. You don't have to know your rights and accept the humiliation.
