I always appreciate a kind ride to work. (But remember, there's always a car behind you -- you're just not all that special.)

If I am not going where you (ahem), I mean where the driver is going, why make me? There were 20 other people in line, most of whom probably work in the Pentagon and could have cared less. Force me to ride to save 30 seconds of switching out? Sorry, that's just incredibly rude.

As far as physical, personal slams? That just proves my point.

Have a nice day.

Also, please don't EVER slam my vehicle door again. Also just to let you know it is my privacy for you to NOT e-mail me at work after getting info off my badge in the vehicle. So DON"T HARASS ME AT MY JOB...if you do I WILL REPORT YOU...

Wow. If a car is not going to the most common drop off point, it HAS to be ok for the rider to get out. The driver here was incredibly rude.

This morning I took a ride from Rt 17 to the Pentagon. I was teaching my son the slugging ropes. He works construction and it's very important for him to get to work on time.

A 2-door car pulls up. We stuff ourselves in the car. The driver says, "I'm driving directly to corridor 3. I hope that's okay. I want to get a good parking space." I said, "Actually, it's not because I need to show my son where the subway is and we're on a tight schedule to get him to Virginia Square by 7." I grabbed for the door handle and she actually stepped on the gas !!!

NOTE: Red Honda Civic; Tags: Miss FL

I'm sure I don't need to remind everyone of the "stopping short" policy, but even worse, I felt that I was held captive! I know this sounds dramatic, but it simply p1sses you off when someone steps on the gas when you clearly want to get out of the car.

I can understand if she says this to someone and they work at the Pentagon, or they just don't mind the walk or extra time. But when someone says "No," then let them out of the car for god's sake.

Whew! Thanks carpooling buddies I feel better now.
