Social Chat #9

1. Do not roll any window down without the driver's permission.

1. Do not observe the sunset, moon, mountains, or any other scenery loudly or abruptly. Break the fact that you can see Orion gently to the driver.

1. Do not propose in the car (especially to the driver, but preferably not at all).

1. Do not fiddle with the door handle.

1. Do not throw things up in the air and catch them while I am driving.

1. Keep your seatbelt on while the car's engine is still running.

1. When we pass big white vans do not ask the driver if we know them; the driver is watching the road and the only interest she takes in the big white van is that they are driving properly and doing nothing suddenly or unpredictably.

is very amused

About what?

All your (very helpful) tips!

Have any ideas? I have to get to 95.

Oi! I think they are all taken! xP

1. No vomiting or threatening vomiting in the car.

Laughs out loud

I just wanted you to see that they were not all taken.

1. No snoring in the car. Falling asleep (as long as you are not the driver) is even recommended, but if you are inclined toward snoring you had best stay awake. The driver may take drastic measures towards getting you to wake up (like stopping suddenly or running over a little dog).

50. No vomiting or threatening vomiting in the car.

YES. And no noises like you might throw up either.

Hi

Hello. Have any ideas to add?

Ideas about what?

Rules. If you were driving a car what rules would you want the passengers to observe?

Don't be a backseat driver

In fact, it would be best if they didn't make any noises at all.

Yes. We communicated that in several forms.

1. No using electronic devices in the car while it's dark out.
2. No complaining, especially if your request requires the driver to pull over.
3. No telling jokes to anyone else in the car.

1. No fluids that do not have lids in the car.

1. No bringing animals into the car.

No food that smells…

Good. Especially the electronic device one.

No food.

Unfortunately, I do have to say that I've broken that rule a few times…

1. No memorizing Bible verses out loud in the car. The driver will get annoyed very quickly. (And so will everyone else in the car!)

1. Never drop round objects that could roll under the gas or break pedal.

1. Do not tell the same story over and over again. It gets old quickly.

1. No flashlights in the car.

This is farewell! Goodnight Sarah, Yanko, and My Queen.

Goodnight Lizzy!

Isn't a ball a round object?

Farewell Sir Elizabeth.

Well, yes, but you only said round objects that roll under the gas or brake pedals. I'm talking about any round object, regardless of its function.

Bye

47. Do not throw things up in the air and catch them while I am driving.

Does that cover it?

Yeah, I guess it does.

I have some other ones that I will have to go back and change too… I'm thinking I shouldn't have started with such a broad rule as "no yelling".

The real number 61: No receiving injuries while in the car.

Good one.

1. No giving or causing injuries in the car.

I have to leave now. I guess I will try to make it to 95 tomorrow.

1. No arguing with your siblings in the car.

Bye!
