   Why do women feel it's OK to put make up on in other people's vehicles?

	I am usually a rider and I would never do that. I would be afraid that the make up would spill or something...

	I like to see them try to do it on the sly too-as if they think the driver will not hear the click of the makeup case or see them in the rear view mirror painting themselves...LOL

	Live Long and Prosper

	So I guess we are to just sit there like zombies riding home, or to work? We talk and talk and talk and laugh and laugh and sometimes play a quick game of cards in our slug van. What's wrong with putting on make up or tlaking on the phone quietly? I don't remember seeing that in the ediquette part.

	I think an organized van and a personal car are two different situations. I don't believe that the make-up is appropiate in someones vehicle.

I don't remember seeing that in the ediquette part. You pay to ride in the slug van, no? So the cost of any spills or other mishaps is basically covered. This is not the situation in someone's private vehicle... Live Long and Prosper

The etiquette says no talking, eating, or drinking...I believe that application of cosmetics would fall under the category of eating or drinking: The concern would be spillage / damage to the driver's vehicle, no?

	Good points Uhura. Challenge is the list can be endless about what you can't do. Seems it would be much easier for everyone if a positive goal is set like "treat others better than you'd expect to be treated". NoSb SOV because you can, HOV because you care!

I agree with that though I suspect not many people would advocate treating others better than they would treat themselves. I think we can only (realistically) ask for the bare minimum-which should be: Treat others as you would want to be treated. I wouldn't want someone spilling their face in my car or getting the colored powder all over the place (and believe me-it does travel) so I wouldn't do that to anyone else. Live Long and Prosper

	I believe in shooting for the higher goal and then accepting something less when I fall short. As I normally do. NoSb SOV because you can, HOV because you care!

NoSb SOV because you can, HOV because you care! I understand... One thing I notice with this issue is this: Whenever I say, pls do not apply make up in my car, they get angry. One even had the nerve to argue with me! LOL Live Long and Prosper
