Public Transportation
February 21st, 2012For the past few years, I’ve lived in urban areas that don’t require a car to get around. It’s nice to not need a car, but at the same time, I can’t say I haven’t been bitten by strange old black men on Port Authority buses before. Basically, I’m aware that public transportation has its downfalls. Therefore, last summer, I coughed up a down payment for George Bush the SmartCar.
I pay a monthly car payment for George Bush, a monthly car insurance payment, and $25 to fill him up with gas every week. And believe it or not, I don’t do these things to give you, my non-car-owning friends/acquaintances/male prostitutes rides home/to the metro/to the gynecologist. If I offer you a ride, fine. It’s because I like you, or I’m feeling generous, or I want to sleep with you. What bothers me, however, is when these non-car owners actually ASK me to give them rides or want me to go significantly out of my way.
You’re giving me car-ownership guilt, people! And yeah. I know how much time it will save you if I drop you off at the metro instead of you having to take a bus there. But if you’re that worried about saving time/having to stand in the rain or snow/being bitten by weirdos on the bus, maybe you should suck it up and make a downpayment on a nugget car and make a monthly car payment and a monthly car insurance payment and fill up your tank weekly like the rest of us.
This might be the bitchiest thing I’ve ever written.
The end.
PS: If you’re hot, I will drive you wherever you want to go. Pretend you didn’t read this.
PSS: I hate this post and I might delete it.
PSSS: Oh well I’ll leave it for now and delete it when someone comments and tells me what a bitch I am.

you’re a bitch lexie
I don’t think it’s bitchy… I think you have a point. If you want the benefits of a car, buy a car.
It’s nice to give people rides… to a point. If it’s out of your way, it’s not fair for the other person to expect that ride. Also some heads up is always good. But if you’re asking for a ride in the OPPOSITE direction, and just asking me as I’m heading out the door? No. Go away. If it’s on the way, then it’s less bad. Ask ahead of time though. Seriously.
I am legit worried about you for other reasons but giving people rides is a bit extreme and tiresome.
