Wow, how did Peele's use of prissy little bitch NOT get edited.
Funny as hell! So funny how the same folks on here are the first to respond to folks "comlaining" and do so in a way as to stir up more negativity! Seems to me like some folks LOVE reading ALL THE SO CALLED COMPLAINTS on this site just so they can INSIGHT more negativity! Remarkable. Lol! BigNat |

(Ball joints have the minor task of making sure the wheels are pointed in the right direction and stay properly attached to the car.) I've ridden in black cars with black leather seats with NO AC. I've ridden when someone's blasting crappy pop music (Or worse) through blown out speakers. And yes, I've ridden in a two door vehicle with stuff on the rear seat. I do it all without complaining and I say, "Thanks for the ride, have a good evening." when we get to Horner Rd. Know why? Fuel: $0 Parking: $0 Mileage put on my vehicle: 0 Time I actually had to stay alert and awake on the commute: 0 Who cares... I'm not so sensitive that Glenn Beck on the radio is gonna warp my fragile mind. I'm not a prissy little bitch who's gonna cry about my clothes getting dirty. I own a washing machine for this purpose... It's a free ride. Get over it or drive your own vehicle to work. ------------------------- Times to beat: Horner Rd to/from Pentagon: 12 mins Without Slugs - 17 mins With slugs Dale City exit to/from 3rd St Tunnel, D.C. 18 mins (No slugs - Holiday) |

Mr V,
Well I don't work at IHOP, I work in DC and often wear business suits (which for women such as myself generally involves a skirt and heels) to work when I brief people and business casual when I don't. I both drive and slug equally. My issue with your post is that there are plenty of people who don't mind riding in a two-door vehicle and by you suggesting that two-door vehicles should be banned or against the rules, implies that only YOU know what's best or that only your needs count. If you don't want to ride in a two-door vehicle simply say shake your head and offer the car to the next in line. I have often done that when I slug and don't think the car is safe or whatever. I do get tired of hearing people gripe about the size of the cars, the radio station, the hot, the cold, the seats, etc. for what is essentially a free and convenient ride with no liability to themselves. For the record I drive either a four-door jeep cherokee or a 4-door Mercury Montego (both bought with slugs in mind) and I drive to and from 234 to the Pentagon. Please pass on my cars if you see them. Thanks![:D] CJ |

I hear you, MrV! When I bought my current vehicle a couple of years ago one of the "must have" features was 4 doors with easy access and plenty of room in the back, because I was going to be using it for carpooling and picking up slugs when necessary. I even sat back there myselfto check it out. [:)]

To the OP: Don't you take your jacket off to ride in a car anyway? I no longer wear a suit most days, but any time I do wear one, or if I wear a blue blazer instead, I always take it off and fold it over and put it on the back seat. If I were the slug rider, I'd take it off, fold it over, and carry it (setting it on the seat next to me if the seat were empty). The only time I wear a jacket/blazer when in a car is if I'm in a taxi or if it's wintertime and I have on an overcoat over the suit, but even that's rare for me because I prefer to use my seat heater for warmth when driving.
I just don't follow your concern about wrinkling your suit when the problem is so easy to avoid. But with that said, if you want to wear your jacket, the other people are right in suggesting that you just pass on the ride if it's a two-door car. Don't feel that you need to give an excuse, either. You don't. |
