Re: Annoying Things Passengers Do? by harlos: 3:52am On Nov 10, 2012
Ikenna351: TALKING TOO MUCH: This can be very annoying to me. There was this colleague i used to give lift on my way back home from work. Whenever he enters my car, my nightmare would start. This guy would start complaining endlessly. Boss A did this to him, while Boss B liked this thing he did. Colleague A spied on him and reported to Boss C and colleague B told him what colleague A did, etc. This would continue till i got to my destination or his. Who told him i would be interested in such his stories, I would wonder? Sometimes, "Shut the Fvkk up!", I would want to say. angry But would take a deep breath and keep my cool. I tried to send him a message that his stories were the last thing i wanted to hear when am driving, but he just couldnt figure it out. Then i had no option than "Hey, I got somewhere, private, i needed to drive to first. So, see you tomorrow". I believe he got that message he refused to get all those while. I got my peace back.

PHONE CALLS: This guy, whenever i am giving him lift, he would always pull out his phone, dial and speak with contact A. After he is done with contact A, he would dial contact B. After contact B, contact C it is. The guy will never allow me to listen to my music. Before you know it, the journey dont end be dat. Even when i leave the radio volume as it were before his phone call madness starts, he would reach out himself to turn down the radio volume. This is the one that really pisses me off. How dare you touch my radio you fool! angry Why would my car become a phone booth for him, I would wonder? Why cant a passenger a allow a driver that owns his/her car enjoys his goddamn music? Cant the calls wait till he get's the HELL out off my car? This is a private car for crying out loud, and not some mobile phone booth. angry Very upsetting!

SLAMMING DOORS: I hate it when a passenger does that to any of the doors, even if you are very close to me. The sound would hit my heart, as if it was my heart that was shut that hard. Even people that i thought should know better would end up doing the same silly thing. That usually happens when they are going out of the car. Because if you do that when you entering my car instead, you wont like my reaction. I bet you!

I do see some cars, with Paseengers placing their foots on the dashboards. I keep wondering, why no one has done that to my car? Because i would simply tell the person to respect him/herself or get the Hell out of my car. Women are mostly culprits here. I dont care how beautiful a female passenger is, but you donot disrespect my car. It's a big DON'Ts for me.

I don't like people fiddling with the radio when am driving. My car, my goddamn choice of music! angry

I think these annoying issues with some passengers is lack of respect and no manners. You can't work into a man's house, meet him watching 24 series on MBC Action, and you just take the remote and turn it to African Magic. So what's the difference with this in a car? All you have to do is to ask. "Hey, can you tune to Raypower fm? There is a program I would love to listen to." I dont think any driver would not happily grant you your request. But passengers shouldnt take things for granted. Yes, you can receive call when someone is giving you a lift. The driver would understand and lower the radio volume for you. But you shouldnt start making unnecessary calls, expecting him to grant you another favour with the radio volume, when he/she is already doing one by giving you the lift.

As for me: My Car, My rules! Get in, keep quiet or talk when necessary. Allow me my music i find comfortable driving with or listening to. If you are not ok with that, of course you should know what to do. Its called PRIVATE CAR please!

What's your own story?

Ikenna.

@OP Stop giving people lifts bruh cos i'll bet there're a whole lotta stuffs that piss u off..like someone battlin to use the seatbelt :/ or betta still tell 'em the do's n don'ts upfront..

Things passengers do that I don't like..
1. Eating & throwing the empty bottle/satchet/whatever inside the vehicle or out on the road. Even 'more civil' Nigerians do this.
2. Making too much calls & sometimes giving too much personal/business info:/..the worst na when the person voice come too loud :|
3. Gisting...while it's ok to gist with a friend in a bus, why talk about your dirty sexcapades or other trash??
4. Farting...& the bus somehow does not have open windows. I almost bought a gas mask once..
5. Loud Music...driver, passengers alike. We know you love your 'native' song. Jus don't kill us with it.
Apart from these & a couple small ones (cussin',spittin out the window every now n then, cryin babies etc)..i usually no dey send people cos I get where I dey go..

Don't mind him, when some people manage to buy their world most expensive asset for N250,000 probably a 1991 Honda accord dem no go let us rest.

When I am leaving my whole house for friends and travelling for weeks shey na very trivial things like adjusting car radio or making call that I will now want to bother myself with?

Obvious he is very unaccomodating and a petty sorry a-ss individual.

I seriously doubt if he truly has a car. I believe he is just stating what others have said of their experiences with passengers.

The number 2 contradicted the number one. The same guy he said talks to much is the same person always on phone.

I doubt if he can even allow his friends cruise his car at all.

Some people just let little vanity things take control of their sense of reasoning.

Re: Annoying Things Passengers Do? by Nobody: 7:35am On Nov 10, 2012
Well talking about what a co-passenger do in d vehicle, i hate it when a lady with a huge b.reast sits next to me and keep smooshing her b.reast on my shoulder and sometimes to my face 4 a every single pot d car climbs. It make my d.i.c.k get up and i dislike it.
Re: Annoying Things Passengers Do? by nikkyshyne(f): 7:39am On Nov 10, 2012
SNEEZING: I hate it when a passenger sneezes.(I hold my breathe for a while). Worst is that I flucking over hate it when he/she sneezes without covering the mouth. Hell is that I hate when the sneezer(uncovered mouth) is directly behind me or by my side.

A man sneezed behind me the other day and I felt his moisture on my arm. I was so so mad that the madness made me dumb and couldn't alter a single word. I freezed and was in shock wondering if I was dreaming or if this was reality.

The next morning, I was awakened by my own sneeze and my woes started from there. I was incapacitated for 3 days straight with serious catarrh and fever. angry

Well, the one that really irks me is you enter a commercial bus and the bus is barely 10 meters away when somebody just starts shouting and singing:

"...brothers and sisters we are gathered once again to hear the word of God...some went to sleep but have not woken up...many are gone...In the book of..." bla bla bla

I'd be like WTF! The most annoying thing is that the fellow would just be screaming in a high-pitched voice with no regard for decorum, as if heaven is for everyone.

I can't stand these pastors/men of God aboard commercial buses.

For me, three things!

One. The music. . .passengers trying to flip, turn down or off my music.
I play whatever I want and at whatever volume that pleases me (usually very loud); only my parents can make me turn it down or off!

Two. The AC. . .don't even attempt to turn it on even if we're stuck in hell-fire.
I mostly drive with my windows wound down because I love to hear the sounds of Eko, as much as I love to see; and also I'd have to turn down the volume of the music significantly if all the windows are up - else run the risk of going deaf. Here again only exception is the Ol' man and Lady!

Three. Horseplay. . .tickling, nudging or trying to make 'playful' or otherwise contact or gestures in any way is strictly prohibited. It is not my portion to die in an auto crash!
