Are you a cab driver? If not, your friend should be able to touch your radio irrespective of you not liking it. I think you're intolerable and lack patience and love. Pls don't call this diplomacy because it is not.

ferhyntorlah:

I beg to disagree with you on this. Even as friends, we should all have a level of RESPECT for each other's things.

If I was to make a call in my friend's car, I will signal to my friend to help me reduce the volume/allow me reduce the volume of the radio if I feel it's too loud and disrupting my call.

I find it very rude for me to just reduce the volume without seeking his/her consent. Since I wouldn't want such done to me, I don't do such[b](Golden Rule)[/b]

If I was the one driving, I won't even wait for him/her to reduce it, once the call has been connected, I'll automatically reduce the radio volume; it's a reflex action for me.

From the op's tone & narration, I can tell the guy wasn't a friend; just an office colleague he gives a ride. If it was a friend, he might have no issue with it since there's a bond between them.

I dont blv a passenger in a car will do that, haba, i am sure they will think 2ce and remember it is not their own machine, except they are your kids

Zeddicus: Are we just talking about private cars?
Ever shared a taxi and the dude on one end is playing music loudly from his phone? Anytime this happens I make sure I let the person know what common sense is.
Secondly, when you quickly pull out your phone to tweet or chat and some f00l close to you stretches his neck reading every bit of what is on your screen!
On one occassion, the guy was bold enough to ask me what LMFAO meant as I was chatting with one babe oblivious of the fact that someone was reading our chat!
The embarrassment I gave him that day he won't forget it in a hurry.

Erm, this is a faceless Forum and believe me some people owns better cars than whatever he thinks he owns. So pls enough of the rich talk crap.

When you genuinely help people, there is an inner gratifying PEACE that follows. If you lack this peace, and all you feel is anger, intolerance within you at the point of helping others, then you haven't done a thing. You might as well never do it. The act of HELP isn't conducive, it must take something from you. Your money,comfort,time. But the ability to do this with joy regardless of the inconveniences is where the blessing lies. That fulfilment is priceless.

So if this OP is really this pissed at people he helps, then he might as well not do it at all. And there are very polite ways to correct people rather than put up a mean face and worse of all REGRET that he helped a fellow human. If he's this unhappy yet helps them, I personally call it pretence and its not a genuine component of HELP.

I get people can be ill mannered, the ability to politely correct them even in a playful way will help, while you retain the joy of helping others. But I insist OP get pinch body

Ahan why nau? I just LMFAOed at this

One thing that has been observed is a lack of public etiquettes here - peeps seem to take things for granted and tend to play it down with "na only you do this and that?" etc

For those who litter, please don't eat or drink such stuff if you know you won't dispose the wrappers/containers properly - even the manufacturers beg you and still display an image of 'Dispose Off Properly', 'Keep Nigeria Clean' etc - even for those who can't read, the image of a bin + a (wo)man is there. iHiss
It even gets worse when private car owners or passengers throw things outta the window - gross indecency. These are the same people who'll abuse their government for 'this and that' whilst still contributing to more 'these and those'.

Whilst the car owner is the owner of the property, I'd say is a 2-way thing. There are some passengers you don't roll with but it's the radio that kills the 'suspense' but increasing the volume to incredible levels is similarly disrespectful to the occupant except such a person acedes to that or is a 'party rider'.

For a city like Lagos, maybe the 'banging the door' mentality is as a result of the 'rush rush, no suegbe' kinda atmosphere of Lagos - even in public vehicles, you must always be gingered ni shaaaaaa!

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.

acidtalk:


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.

BoboYekini: - I really hate when folks make me wait/ambush me into giving them lifts, early morning and after work, just the time when pesin wan gather hin thoughts. Had this neighbor would spring out of nowhere just when you thought you'd evaded her!
- I hate when they ask to be dropped where there's no bus-stop, right in the middle of the road, intra-city. you go hear "bros, e j'en sare bole, sharp sharp". Were, so LASTMA go hol me abi?!
- That door-slamming thing drives me up the rafters! There was this character that consistently banged my door, until I took to stretching my hand across to check the force. Got a friend that currently does this, i still dey look am...
- As a bobo, sometimes you're looking to maybe pick up a random fine gal going your way(especially these sans okada days), na dat time everybody go wan cop a lift.
