passenger rules

i'm just wondering if anyone has any funny pet peeves/rules relating to passengers in your ride.

i can't stand GAWKING...

maybe i'm too used to cruising without anyone in my car, but if another vehicle wants to play, i can't stand my passenger craning their head to gawk back or beside at the other vehicle...
reminds me of when you say "don't look over there but blah blah blah" and they LOOK really obviously

my other is my stereo.

yes, i spent a nice chunk of cash on it, and i like it LOUD. passengers that consistently get in my car and want to "talk" drive me nuts...thats why they invented "coffee". plus, do NOT change my settings..... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! i've left someone in my car when i run in somewhere to grab something just to come out and find they've fucked up my equalizer and turned down my subs.

my biggest thing is the stereo. i paid a good ammount for it too, and i agree, it needs to be loud. i hate when people get in my car and insist on jumping on their cell phones and yellin at me to turn my stereo down. i usually tell him to go fly a kite or something more rude, and turn it up louder. they either learn to talk to themselves, or don't talk at all. i keep my car clean, and i absolutely friggin hate fingerprints on the god damned tint. why do they insist on putting their nasty *** oily paws on my tint? THE TINT? it hasn't been a problem except for one time in the year and a half i've had my car.. smokers. every one knows i dont smoke, and they know not to smoke in my car... yet i come back to my car the other night after leaving the stereo on so people could listen to it, and i see the ******* moron in the passenger seat, smokin a cigarette with the doors closed. needless to say, i went ballistic on the kid and told him to get the **** out of my car.

wow
most people that smoke don't light up in someones car without asking first usually...that was pretty gutsy/stupid on that persons part...

and do you also notice that the passenger floor mats are always dirtier than the drivers side? yet i'm in my car solo alot more than with people...DIRTY people at that.

and while i'm on the subject, has anyone found a solution to shifting car mats? i bought new ones this year from the dealer, and they slide all over. i've had a few people almost wipe out getting in/out of the car...its brutal.

What bothers me the most is when someone gets in or gets out of my car and SLAMS the door as hard as they can.

Once a friend inadvertently did it about three times while we were cruising around town before I finally told him that this wasn't the WWF so stop slamming my car's damn door.

Other than that, most folks I carry around have very good manners.

Oh, no food inside my car since it's still fairly new. If we carry left overs from a restaurant and I'm driving my car, then the take-out box goes in the trunk. Can't stand the stink that is left behind. I don't mind the trunk stinking up if necessary.

the rear mats are the only ones that move a little. the fronts never move. but i've noticed that the passenger side is always dirty, even though i'm in my car solo a lot more than with passengers. even the seat itself gets a little bit dirty. filthy *** passengers :[ as for slamming the doors... i just want to find a nice curb and do the same to person who just slammed my damn door. our doors weigh like half a lb when closing them... not like some old *** tank of a car which you have to get a running start to move the door. blah! makes me mad thinking about it!!

my peeves....

1. the tunes....its my ride...they are MY tunes....and if you don't like what I am listening to...or the volume....there is a door to exit from...

2. food....NO FOOD ALLOWED in the car....or drinks for that matter...if we are out cruisin...and we are hungry or thirsty....there are plenty of hangouts to stop and get a bite or something to drink..

3. smokers....plain and simple...you do NOT light up in my ride, that is the fastest way to find your self standing on the curb looking for another ride.

the "shifting" floor mats....get some velcrow and attach one half to the bottom of the floor matt and the other half to the floor....then stick them down. works pretty good.

That is soooooooo true!!!!


As for mats, I got these rubber ones from Wall-Mart.... they come in different combinations with black.... I got yellow/black version and it's really easy to clean.

I hate it when people turn my Bass up, and mess around with settings too....

I gave this fool a ride (mommy and daddy bought him an S2000 for his 16th B-day and he thinks he is the god of all cars) and he was playing with my boost controller! We were about 20 miles away from our home town and bout 20 miles away from the cruise spot, I dropped his *** off. He "hates" me now and talks all this ****, but who cares? I hate dumbass ricers

1. my sounds. operative word being "my". don't touch.
2. cell phones. wtf? is your life so important that you have to be on the phone in my car, causing me to turn down my sounds? (gotta be polite!)
3. my gf's friends who are always yakking from the back seat.

not much else, cause most of the time my friends respect me and know not to **** me off. my gf's friend's however is a different story.

S2000 a ricer?? OK. It handles better than a Boxter and cost 20g less. I would take one!!

I hate it when people get out and don't close the door all the way and then use their hip to close it.
Feet on the dash.
Treat my car like it is their old POS and don't repect it.
ANYONE leaning on my car. That gets an *** whoopin!!!
People who park WAY too close.
And, WHOOPS, that is always a good word to here from your passenger.
