Rt. 3 Gordon Rd - sick and tired

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   There has been a big concern with a slugger from here.  I have heard so many people complain about this one woman...including myself.  How do you handle a situation where one person is scaring off drivers from this slug line?  The personal hygiene is very unbearable (and I'm being mild).  I am too nice, most times, but I'm getting to the point where I'm not going to let this woman run my life b/c I won't turn her down.  I do not want to ride with her, nor do I want her to ride in my car.  I have seen so many drivers turn around in the morning and leave just to go to Rt. 17 to avoid picking her up...is anyone else running into this situation?  It took too long to start the Rt. 3 slug line that I do not want one person to ruin it for everyone else....any thoughts?

	see my post here http://slug-lines.com/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=4&ARCHIVEVIEW=&TOPIC_ID=207 you're not the only one. from what I have heard she was alread removed from the bus and 2 van pools. i feel it is becoming incredibly detrimental to the RT 3 slugline and more than one rider is ready to say something to her in an attempt to save the line.

	Hey, I did not see this message earlier. I posted one in the morning slug line section of this board. I know what your talking about and I dont really know what to do about it, other than for drivers to tell her she is not welcome in their car. We need to convince the drivers to come back somehow or convince (her) to move some where else (17) perhaps.... ;-) take care, JH Edited by - Johnny H. on 22 Aug 2002 08:31:51

	I am also a rider of the Rt. 3 line and I have decided that I am willing to say something to her if people will give suggestions on what and how I should say it. I am not going to let someone like her ruin the slug line for everyone else. I am fed up with her "scaring" all the drivers away and am ready to do something about it!

	Whatever you do don't tell her to go to Route 17...PLEASE! Give her a gift basket full of deodorant and soap. K.O. BTW...what is her destination that she goes to? If she goes to Pentagon that would be fine...because then maybe we can get more drivers going to L'Enfant Edited by - kortegel on 22 Aug 2002 09:21:10

	The Pentagon. I have also heard that drivers will wait in the parking lot in the afternoon until she has been picked up.

	She actually goes to Roslyn, but she will go to pentagon and catch the DoD bus......ok how about 610 lot if not 17....

	Yeah! That's a great idea...send her to 610...from what I hear those people are all rude pricks so they deserve her. K.O.

	"Stink Up" confession....I acutally did start to do something about it. I wrote a big bold letter, describing her problem...and asking her to leave the slug line b/c she was scaring away drivers and ruining the sluggers line. I put the note on her windshield yesterday. But as you may already know, her van was there again this morning. I guess it really didn't help...and she DIDN'T get a clue. I think more people should be a little more vocal so she does get the point.

	If you don't want to confront her, leave a note on her car. If that doesn't work, either speak with her or give her a copy of this message board. I'm afraid the slugs will eventually end up having to say something. It's very awkward for drivers to prohibit someone from riding.
