Hitch hiking?

If you’re hitch hiking and I give you a lift, please observe some simple courtesies. For example, don’t demand that I let you drive. And don’t get all huffy if I don’t turn over the keys and title. Chances are that I won’t take it well when you criticize my vehicle and how I paid for it. Nor will I be amused when you denigrate longtime friends who’ve ridden in the passenger seat for years, especially given that they’ve earned the trust that puts them behind the wheel now and then. And if you try to cover my bumper stickers with ones that you pull out of your pocket — walking is healthy, go for it.

pick up any trash/candy between the seats from my daughter, clean the glass as much as possible-

Oh, and you can sit in the back seat and rub my shoulders as well.

When I drop you off you get to take the trash with you to dispose of properly-


THANKS!

LOL
