Maybe you need a smaller gf?

Whenever I have a passenger they always sit in the front. Whether it's family or friend. It's just blatantly rude to sit in the back as the only passenger, and that's been noted already.

Plus, all my passengers hate sitting in the back. My exhaust annoys the hell out of them and all they hear is droning. By the end of the road trip, they step outta the car and complain my car sounds like a boat.

same thing I tell people who complain about my exhaust, or the small back seat in my pick up: Dont like it? GTFO and find your own way, theres no complaining allowed in my car or truck.

Another thing I found interesting last night. I was driving my room mates home from work and gave another friend a ride home too. She was the first one out leaving my room mates in the back, and he insisted that his girlfriend came and sat up front and he stayed in the tiny ass back seat.

What pisses me off more are people who fiddle with the climate controls or the damn stereo. Sitting there is OK - a privilege, but don't mess with my dash controls. That is grounds for hitting the eject button.

Exceptions - heat and adjustment controls for their seat, maybe the vents on their side. I even allow visors to be touched, but that's about it.

Especially the stereo's EQ adjusted to your liking and they mess with that and the sub control.

Children love bouncy castles and airbags, so this makes sense.

I don't get why a lot of Chinese moms insist of having their son drive them around, even to do simple errands.... while they hold drivers licenses themselves. Sure, you don't have to do any work and driving solo can be scary at first but relying on someone else is pretty restrictive. Not my cup of tea.

And so you will never be an Asian mum either.

Asian children are supposed to take care of the parents in every imaginable ways when the parents reach old age. That's just the way it is. Most of the time, the children would be happy to do it. If the son is busy, he could ask his wife to do it. As the parents get older, they rely more on the kids, not just because they need to but also because they want to hang with them. Who don't want to hang with their kids when they're old?

Not directly related but we do have senior homes but it's an absolute disgrace leaving your parents in there.

Call it cultural difference.

fuck backseat drivers are annoying. Some people really need to be sedated before getting into other people's cars.
