As they say, "Begaani Shaadi mein Abdullah Deewana", I think you are familiar with this if you are from Indian background.
Similar thing I had to face in the reception function of my wife's far relative, I had no intention to attend but visited on my family's request.
I've faced such an embarrassment, here's the story :-
While going to the function we hired a Ola cab and requested him to wait for easy return. He requested for the current amount to be cleared soon and we did thinking that he would wait for us. But he left without notice. Now that I look back at the situation, lesson I've learnt is that "Never pay full amount to labor when you have to get your work completed".
हमेशा पैसे पूरे न दे, उनको टेंगा के रखे वरना वह अपना काम अधूरा छोड़ सकते है|
This is what I've learnt and never trust people, you might be a good person but never expect that person you are doing business with is a good person. Always have a contract in place to make sure everything goes well and as expected.
Coming along with a far relative and let him drop us to our home from the function also added up to my embarrassment as there were cabs booked but were reluctant to drop. Lost trust on cab services like Uber and Ola, worst services and drivers. One request to these selfish a**holes, never do that in case of an emergency, please at least respect that.
Thanks for being with me !!
Cheers,
