In my younger (harder working) days I gave a chap a lift to work in the
Sprite as he claimed he didn't have a car he could use. He was around 6' 3"
and 375 - 400lb (big guy). It became a pain going half an hour a day out of
my way to pick him up and drop him off, waiting for him 'cause he hadn't
finished his work on time and only a verbal thank you every other month etc.
So, as I soured, I would stop next to the highest kerb (sidewalk) edge I
could find to drop him off. Had to make sure the bottom of the door
wouldn't scrape on the ground though. I found it more and more amusing as I
found higher kerbs and watched his attempts to get in and out of the Sprite.
I soon realised that getting in was little problem for him - gravity helped
there - but getting out. LOL !
It all stopped when found out that he did have a car he could have used - he
was just too mean to pay for his own fuel.
