keep being dropped off at the first lot at horner!

Today for the second day on a row the driver refuse to drop their slugs on the second lot of Horner road. They simply said, I ONLY DROP PEOPLE OFF AT THE FIRST LOT. I think this is just very un-courteous of them and I guess now we have to ask if they go to the second lot or not at Horner road. It was raining and I had parked my car in the third lot that is quite a walk.

Think about it, In the morning you wont take a ride if a car goes to F street and you are going to G, you just wait for the someone else going to G. In the afternoon there is no such a thing, Usually people just are courteous enough specially on a rainy day to go the extra 100 feet and then turn around if they need to go back into 95, but these is a recurring case already... does anybody else experience this or is it just a coincidence?

I think you should start asking drivers in the evenings if they are willing to drop you off at your lot before accepting the ride if this is becoming an issue for you. I've noticed at the Horner lot drivers usually take slugs to the AM pick up point regardless of where you had to park your car. I agree it is more of an inconvenience for the slug to walk than for the driver to possibly have to make a U-turn because he wanted to exit via pkwy instead of Telegraph. Then again slugging IS a free service and it is all about flexibility. Like I said the best thing to do is to ask before riding, or switch lots. ;)

Forget Horner Rd, use Potomac Mills!

goober has a good point, if they picked up from pentagon or crystal city that would make sense, other than that the driver should be taking the slug at the starting destination. I was picked up in DC and my fellow slugger was a female who had to walk to the 3rd lot by herself.... Horner lot is a big one, and it is dark now at 6 pm. I realize it is free ride, but it goes both ways, without the slugger they could not take the HOV lanes.

On the flip side, a couple of weeks ago, I was dropped off at the second lot. As I was walking on the sidewalk, a woman pulled up next to me and asked if I was in the 3rd lot, presumably to take me closer to my car had I been parked there. Given that it was dark and I was pretty much a lone female, I very much appreciated her offer. I had had a bad day, and her thoughtfulness really brightened it for me. [:)]

Just as before accepting the ride, it's that simple.
