You know you've been gone too long when...

This happended while riding a jeep going to the LRT-3 station in Anonas.

Me: Manong, bayad po. (gives him the money)

Driver: (pauses) Ser, P7.50 po.

Me: (aghast) Pero sa Anonas lang po ako.

Driver: (miffed) P7.50 nga.

Me: (grumbling)

Seatmate: (looks at me) Ah, P7.50 na ang pamasahe ngayon.

Me: ...oh...

I paid the driver P4.50, which was the fare I paid the last time I rode a jeepney. Obviously, I haven't been reading all these articles on the rising prices of oil and fares.
