Default Cheap-o slam clicker

So I’ve found myself on the road with a slam clicker, that doesn’t bother me much, what does is flying with a Cpt. that doesn’t bother to tip drivers, and instead watches me do it because I am not ok with hitching a “free” ride. This has been common with hotel shuttle drivers, FBO personnel nice enough to give us a ride TO/FROM the hotel etc. What would you do?

Keep on keeping on, do what you need to do, and try to enjoy your down time. Life’s too short to be bothered by people like that.

Yep, nothing you can do but be yourself. There will always be people who just refuse to tip, not gonna change that. There is a dedicated thread to this in the Regional forum, FYI.

For real. "What would you do?" I'd stop worrying about how others go about their life and just do my job.

Whenever I hear "slamclicker", I automatically know this person induces the slamclicker reflex.

"We just had an 18 hour day, let's go to a crowded sportsbar!!"

*SLAM*

Agreed. There's nothing wrong with not wanting to do anything on the road and enjoy the peace and quiet with little to no responsibilities. I do most of the time like to get out and do things on the road, but I also really enjoy just doing nothing for a little bit. I have 2 kids under 3 years old at home so my time away is my time is my time to relax and not have to do anything. I've been referred to as a "slam clicker", but it is acceptable for somebody to want to be alone for a bit.

Well if you're one of those @ssholes that judges me by my lack of desire to tip, then I would slamclick you too.

And yes, I don't like you too.
