I started going to Horner back in April off and on. I assumed that when the driver said Horner they meant anywhere at Horner. I quickly found out that that was not the case. I would forget to ask if they were going to the second lot and two times both male drivers refused to take me. I told them that they should tell folks that BEFORE they get into their car. That is a looooong walk to the new lot and I don't appreciate walking when they can drive down and make a quick U-turn and come back in less than a minute. I now ask everytime. A lot of drivers are shocked that people would be so rude as to NOT take a slug anywhere in the Horner lot.

You are right, common courtesy to take to the second lot. I never really cared where I got dropped off. I figured walking to the last lot is exercise so it is good for me. However, now that it is dark outside, it is not really a good idea for the ladies to be walking in the dark alone. The least bit of distance to walk alone, the better. Most drivers agree and even drop off at the last lot these days. Unfortunately there are still some mean drivers who won't go to the second lot. I don't think that is lazy to not want to walk in the dark alone. Hopefully more drivers will reconsider until Spring comes.

I slug from Tackett's but we often swing through the Horner lot in the evenings (Old Bridge is a NIGHTmare at that time) and backtrack to Tackett's. I see that the majority of cars let out at that first little bus shelter right off HOV. That lot is HUGE! To refuse to take a person a minute out of your way because it isn't convenient is unconscionable! Would you do that to your own mothers, wives or daughters; making them walk alone quite a distance in the dark or in bad weather? I'm not saying drivers shouldn't extend a courtesy to MEN as well, but GEEZ!, women walking alone in the dark can result in tragedy!

USA, good point. I suppose there may be other exceptions. The bottom line may be that we rely on the honor and good will of everyone that participates in slugging. I believe everyone should initially be considered "good" but there will always be a few bad apples that spoil it for everyone.[:D]
