    ...text throughout the drive is so controversial. This may be the conversation that breaks Twitter for me.

        @avantgame The trolls are focusing on class warfare while ignoring the reasoning behind your stance. Rational discourse may be impossible.

        @avantgame I think it's tipping in general. Some think it correlates to service, others think you should be grateful to get any service.

        @avantgame honestly u're better off reporting the drivers who text. It's illegal and you, personally, probably won't have an impact via cash

        @avantgame Do people break Twitter by having too many followers, some of whom sadly reveal selves to be jerks contrary to first interaction?

        @avantgame people are largely not idiots, but unfortunately the Internet makes it easier to find them. Or for them to find you.

        @avantgame seriously? How can it be controversial? Clearly dangerous. How to control (or penalize) is up for debate though.

        @avantgame I'm surprised as well. If someone puts your life in danger for whatever reason, you don't give them a tip. #easy #obvious

        @ChattyDM @avantgame I second Phil's sentiments, would hate to lose the insights I gain due to random people asserting their own issues.
