Driving two people...

[sr71blackbird]

Lets say you are giving a ride to two people, like a couple.
Do you as a driver feel awkward if they both get into the back seat, leaving you alone up front?

Say the guy is your budday, and every other time you are hanging with him, he sits up front with you.
Is there a certain driver/friend etiquette that should be followed?

Here is a poll:

If you are driving a couple -

you're insane

[DolaMight]

I have butter on my head.

Shotgun should be used.

You're not their chauffeur.

[Dougie Brootal]

i always thought the chick gets shotgun no matter what. thats how i roll.

There's only two times my passenger seat is empty. Either:

1) I'm alone in the car.
2) I'm driving my kids or their friends. Kids always go in the back (for safety sake and to keep them the fuck away from the radio.)

Otherwise I'm not a fucking chauffeur.

But how do you insist upon this without looking like a baby?

I voted him up front, but I really don't care which one is up front. I just don't want them both in the back unless it's like one of my kids and a date or something.

I'd flat out say "I'm not a chauffeur". I don't see it as being a baby. I wouldn't do it to someone else. In fact, I'd prefer to sit up front. I'm over six foot and there's never enough legroom in the back.

But I digress. I think its a common courtesy. I wouldn't do it and I wouldn't stand for someone doing it to me. Maybe I'm extra sensitive because I drove a towncar for a while during college. But it's even 1000 times worse if its a couple back there knoodling while you're driving them around like you're Morgan Freeman in Driving Miss Daisy. Give me a fucking cap if you expect me to drive you around. But be warned: I'm gonna pull over every five minutes to "make water".

what kind of people both get in the backseat when youre driving them home? honestly never happened to me in 12 years of driving.

[TooLowBrow]

id let them both sit in the back

i could use the mirror to look up the girls skirt

or the mans kilt (if hes wearing one)

:smile:

Don't mean to derail, but this thread got me thinking about this. My first wife used to yell at couples in pickup trucks that, when the guy was driving, the woman would sit right next to him and leave the rest of the seat empty. Carry on.

[Devo37]

if they jump in the back seat together, just blast the radio and pretend they're not there.

[sailor]

i'd prefer my friend sat up front, but not to the point of getting pissy over it or ask him to move. it's just not a big deal.

[lleeder]

just throw this in the front seat so you don't look silly

It's happened to me twice in my life. It's very odd to me and I felt betrayed and humiliated.

How about in a extended cab truck? If there are three people, does one sit in the back like in a car, or do all three pile in the front, since the seat is bigger than normal?

if they both go to sit in the back you call them gay & ask if they are able to be apart from each other for more than two seconds
