   I agree 100%.  And to previous posts, asking to put down the visor is not the same as asking whether you can drink, etc.

	I don't know so much about having a bad day, I just think Ms. "B" is putting it all up front. She won't have any problem with saying "no", will she?

I'm sorry, but your post shows a gross overgeneralization that everyone is like you. Although I would not think to ask to bring my morning coffee (see my earlier posts) I have absolutely no problem with riders asking me if they can bring a drink or if (gasp, perish the thought) I'll take a third. I can answer for myself and can say no without feeling bad. However, I realize there are people different from me. My main point is many drivers do not mind questions such as: would you turn on the ac? May I put down the visor? May I lower the window? Etc. In fact if you read many of the threads on this site, you'll see that drivers would love to know if something simple will make their rider more comfortable. But, one never knows until they ask. And asking gives the option, a la Nancy Reagan, to just say no. Sorry so long. Cheers, Glacier Your post is on point here. As a driver, I would like to know if the vehicle is too hot / cold etc. I definitely do not mind questions... Live Long and Prosper

	Assuming such a thing, I'm sorry, but shows a gross lack of understanding of human nature. quote: Originally posted by glacier [br]I'm with VA on this. I natually assume that drivers have a backbone and can answer as best suits them. Cheers, Glacier

	Ditto to Ronin718's statement. Couldn't be more clear and on point. quote: Originally posted by ronin718 [br] quote: What's wrong with asking if it's OK? Alls a person has to say is "yes or no". Like GSM said, people don't want to be put in the position of possible rudeness. Some people may not care how they come across, but I'll bet most people don't want to be seen as intolerant or rude, and so they will be accomodating when they don't want to be. Are you going to tell someone they have to throw away their freshly purchased breakfast combo? Accidents happen, and the slug isn't going to be the one to clean the car out.

I replied that accidents happen and that I would prefer it if she put it away. A valid point--why else would they call them ACCIDENTS? I keep my car very clean, no trash on the floor, no old socks, etc., and if someone doesn't want to cooperate, I'm happy to pull off on the shoulder and let that person walk. I don't care for the smell of some of the things that people put on. If they already decided to marinate in their perfume, I guess there's not a lot you can do aside from recognizing the person in the future and saying she can't get in your car, but some of that powdered stuff smells strong and makes me cough. LOL @ "marinate in their perfume"... Live Long and Prosper
