The best thing to do is not to pick them up again. Driver's have that right just as riders do. You could have also asked them to speak softer and not to curse but you cannot expect people not to talk amongst themselves.

Yes jjmahoney you most certainly should have said something that is absolutely rediculous to get into someones car that you don't know and talk like that, I wish it had been me, I have no problems telling people what's on my mind. I had a lady in my car last week drinking a soda in my car, and I kindly let her know I do not allow eating or drinking in my car from anyone.Also I correct the cell phone talkers that get in the car and want to talk all the way to Horner Road, when they get loud with their calls I kindly let them know to bring it down a peg and I don't care how you take it, you know I have been doing this slug system for 7 years now and it has really changed a lot over the years, I don't know where some of these people are coming from, but you know what I am time enough for them! HELLO!!!!

Easily solved:
"Excuse me, I really need to listen to the radio and think through some things." [If conversation continues, repeat as necessary] "I need to think through some things, so I'd rather there be no talking in my car, please" |

So I guess someone using profanity, and talking extremely loud in ones vehicle is okay with you from the sarcasism you are expressing?[;)] He turned up the radio to drown out the loud profanity, I on the other hand do not turn up my radio to drown out the loud cell phone users I just tell them to KNOCK IT OFF,I feel if you do not have the common sense it takes,to know that there are some things you just don't do any someone elses car,then it is up to the owner of the said vehicle to give them that COMMON SENSE!I guess you would also find nothing wrong with rolling down someone's back window yelling at some friends standing across the street[:)] yeah I had one of those too, and guess what I put her in her place[8D] BAD ME, SHAME ON ME FOR DEMANDING RESPECT IN MY CAR!

So what are the best ways to tell someone to keep it down? This isn't a sarcastic post - I really am serious.
For example, if I'm driving and someone just has to have the long conversation about who said what and what food was served and who wore what (I overheard this as a slug), do you nicely say, "Please keep the conversation to a minimum." I honestly don't know how I'd say it. I'm all for someone making a quick, "Hi there. I'm on my way. I should be there in such and such time." call, but not the looooonggg inane or even business calls. |

I'm not sure how my message could be construed as sarcastic. The driver turns to the slug, and politely states:
"I need to think through some things, so I'd rather there be no talking in my car, please" Or some similiar variation. Problem solved. |

It is appropriate to ask slugs to stop talking.....I mostly play the part of rider, and realize it's the driver's car and would have no problem if someone told me to shut up. Then Again I am quiet...but none the less....

I think most drivers don't want to tell riders to "shut-up". I mean, anyway you say it can be construed as being offensive. Even though the vehicle belongs to a driver, they probably shy away from saying or doing anything to annoy the rider. That's probably why so many of these posts ask, "how do you say it" or "what is the best way to tell someone to.......".
