This mainly occurs in the AM commute...There seems to be a trend occurring with AM Slugs that think if they ask the driver if they will take a third rider that they themselves are entitled to be that third rider even though they are not the next in line for that destination. Has anyone experienced this?

We recently had this very discussion. There's a minority of people who think that the asking entitles them to the seat, as opposed to just helping move the line along. Personally, I don't get it. You get the seat 'cause you're loud? Oh, well. Most slugs don't operate that way.

But what gets me are the riders who "actually" get upset and start bad mouthing the drivers who politely refuse to take a third [:I] [?] [:I]. And God forbid if the person has an SUV or equally large vehicle, they would really lose it [:0].

I haven't experienced this in the AM. But last week going home from the Pentagon to Rolling Valley, I actually saw a lady effectively bully the driver into taking her as a third. The rider stood right next to the passenger window and seemingly wouldn't move until the driver acknowleged her. I could not believe the driver actually said yes and proceeded to get out of the car and move her stuff to accomodate the "bully" rider. Wow...thought I had seen everything.

That is Pana. Pana did a post recently about the fact that he/she calls for a 3rd and then people get mad when he/she takes the ride. Apparently Pana does this a lot trying to get a ride before their turn. I wish I could find the post but I can't. Pana created it.

First of all, asking the driver to take another rider is rude unless there are exceptional circumstances. If someone is rude enough to ask the driver to take extra riders, I would fully expect that indivivdual to be rude enough to try to jump the line as a reward for being so rude.

Its never rude to ask.....thats just a polite way of seeing if there is a chance that another person can ride.

I should have added that asking is not rude but cutting in line is extremely rude. Ask for those in front of you to help the line move along.
