> a positive "they treated me like a human being" or a negative "no, they were rude"

That's the whole range eh?

Yes. Anything else wouls go against the sworn secret oath that every taxi driver lives by.

No I'm just sad that treating someone like a human being is considered a positive and not... you know... the absolute bare minimum someone could do.

Missed this first half of the sentence.

So our range is somewhere around:

- They were OK

- They treated me like a human being

- They were rude

There's no room for "We had an interesting conversation" or "They gave me some good advice" or "I think I made a new friend"? Not even "They seemed like a good person"?

The maximum is "They treated me like a human being" which is somehow above "They were OK"?
