Failure Is The New Success

NYC taxis add a surcharge when your ride encounters particularly slow traffic or congestion. Being NYC, these conditions are encountered virtually every ride.

It's brilliant/evil how they can charge you more for your inconvenience then they could if your trip was obstacle free.

Imagine if your job was so structured. The next time you had a big presentation and it didn't go well (say there's a PowerPoint error or something), it'd be acceptable practice for you to bill those hours as overtime.
