Asking to Take Three?

GMHP....I think I love you! lol

hehe

Don't hold back GMHP, tell us how you really feel :)

Wow, how many years have you been a student at Oprah U?


Keep slugging alive - tip your driver today!

if i might hijack this thread back on topic for just a minute? i pick slugs up very occasionally, because i drive a car that isn't terrible comfortable for the person in the back seat. i pick up only when i've left it too late to get in on time without picking up riders. i can't take a third, because there is no foot room behind my seat. and when asked to take a third, even after i have indicated 2 riders, i've gotten eye rolls as if i was selfish. and this happens every single time of those occasional times when i pick up instead of drive in the main lanes.

now responding to the ongoing conversation in this thread. yes gmhp, you were provoked, but i think your remark about the Homeland Security Department was uncalled for. no i don't work for them, but i think that if all were known, you might find that you had someone working in your own organization with the same predilictions as the jerk recently outed in the press. you just made it seem like everyone who works for the Department of Homeland Security is a sleeze bag. nice going.

Wow, between GMHP and 122 someone would get the impression this was a grip board rather than an information board. Bottom line is this, gas prices are high, and will probably go higher, no one’s fault here I am sure. I have to drive everyday and do not seek a tip, nor do I want one, but I can understand some people feeling the burdened should be shared. I prefer not to carry a third rider, and do not like it when the riders get upset because I wont take a third or give door to door service. So I guess I am trying to say, chill out people….. after all if gas prices keep going higher, I will not need to pick up riders, the number of cars will decrease where the commute is the same in the HOV and regular lanes (guess there is a silver lining in the gas price cloud).
