Will you take a third?

Yes...you're lucky in your choice of lots...I picked up from Tacketts and Potomac for several years. Montclair also for awhile. Never ever have I seen the rudeness that I've seen in the Stafford lots in the past 6 months I've been picking up down here! It's horrible. Both with slugs jumping in front of each other and more so with drivers cutting in line at the lots and at the Pentagon. It's bad enough that I've actually had several days recently that I've left the lot and just sat in the regular lanes of traffic rather than watch the rudness. What has happened to kindness??

True, some people are timid and do not speak up when maybe they should. And others are not that comfortable with the SLUG system and rules. And some are still a little sleepy at 7am. But that does not mean that others, who are bold, experienced or awake, should take advantage or be rude. Courtesy is the key, so let's remember our elementary school manners and don't cut in line. It's not rude to ask if a driver will take three, and if the first person in line won't ask, why not the fifth? But the first person in line for that destination should have dibs on that ride, it keeps the line moving and we all get moving faster. No need to cut in or to get upset about it. Let's keep it light and we'll all get home safe!
