Overtipping

I had tons of bags with me leaving the airport (some taller than me!) so I was definitely grabbing a cab to my new apartment. Clearly an American and clearly not sure about the best route to take to my apartment, I think I got the full tour of Dublin city during that cab ride for sure. Not the friendliest cab driver, but really have you ever met a friendly driver?

When I finally got to my place, I was hoping that the cab driver would help me bring my bags into my apartment foyer so I tipped him over 20%. After the tip, he chatted with my happily and helped me move my stuff, only after I told Kiers about the tip did I learn that you don't tip cab drivers at all. So I was taken for a ride and gave him extra money to do it. Man... I have a lot to learn!
