My car, my rules!

[go-to-guy]

how do you find those na nauuna pa sumakay kesa car owner/driver? not unless being told so.

Yeah this is a pet peeve of mine. Not cool hehe.

Let them wait till you unlock your car.

Definitely no smoking! I used to smoke when I was young, but now, I can't stand the smell.

I don't mind. Wag naman yung may nilalagay pa ko sa trunk tapos sasakay na. Pero kung sa back seat lang ako may ilalagay, okay lang na mauna na sumakay sa harap.

Seryoso? Issue yan?

That's only an issue to me if they are not supposed to be riding along.

Plus, for ladies, pinapauna naman talaga usually sumakay, and the polite thing to do is to reach for the driver's door (from the inside) to open.

Ang alam ko is you open and close the door for the lady when she will enter or go out [emoji4]

Yup that's one of the signs I looked for before in a girl to know if she's a keeper.

I don't worry about such thing as a pecking order when getting inside my car. I expect my passengers to get in asap and buckle up. I only have problems when they don't buckle up.

Sometimes, I am last to get in because I check to make sure the house locks are set or no one/anything is left behind.

One more rule I have is whoever is behind the wheel has the choice of music being played. So, if my daughter is driving, the rest of us have to put up with her music. However, I have the choice of turning it down if it's too loud or distracting.

I also don't have a white knight syndrome. If my passengers are just milling around outside, I bark out, "What are you waiting for? Get in! The quicker you get in and buckle up, the quicker we can get on our way." That applies to everyone, including my wife, my kids, and my wife's friends.

One big rule I have is buckling up. I always say, "Everyone got their seat belts on?" I tell my passengers pointblank I will not start the car until everyone buckles up.

True. I've had the chance to live abroad as well and mas nakakainis lang kasi ang ugaling makapal dito. I guess nakakainis lang pag di ko ganun ka-feel ang makikisabay sakin tapos mauuna pa sayo sa pagbukas. I can picture your scenario if you're the last to get in coz you have to check if you locked the door of the house etc meaning you'll be riding with family or guests or friends you invited or welcomed to your home. My scenario or what I had in mind when I replied was officemates that I'm really not close with na nakikisabay.
But if it's a relative or friend ok lang sakin.

I had a 2nd gen jazz before, it was my personal car, even the wife didnt drive it, i changed the springs, the rear seats where down/flat permanently, i would only take one passenger, either the wife or the daughter, if more than two, we'll use the crv...or any other car thats at home, but not mine...weird

Pinaka ayaw ko. Yung biglang may white dust na akala ko kung ano na. yun pala yung ate ko nag popowder. Tapos minsan ang lakas magsara ng pinto minsan ang lamya. Tapos sasabay pa kumanta sa music.

I deal with acquaintances the same way I deal with family and friends. Same drill. They're my responsibility. So, I worry more about their safety than who gets in first. Some people wait and get in at the same time I get in. But, if they get seated first and buckle up? Pfffft. No big deal. I don't even think about it.

When I have multiple acquaintances with me, the only decision-making is who gets to ride shotgun. Let them decide. First-come, first-serve. ;)

Yes that is what I meant. Once the woman is inside the vehicle, she should reach out to open the driver's side door for the man.

When I am with elderly people, I always open the door and let the person inside first.

I don't think this reaching out to unlock the driver's door still applies with today's powerlocks...

I usually prioritize starting up the car and the aircon. Then I assist whoever needs assistance getting in.

I do it out of courtesy. I know others who still do it too, even with power locks.

if the gentleman doesn't open the lady's door from the outside, she's done. "she's not worth it", he is thinking. nothing will come of the relationship.
if the seated lady doesn't reach over and unlock the gentleman's door, he's done, too. "he's not worth it", she thinks. nothing will come of the relationship.

If I dealt with patients or elderly people like my mother in law, I prepped the car first. It's usually my wife who helped her into the car because their seats are on the same side.

They didn't walk with me to the car. I brought the car to them because safety required my mother in law not walking too far.

I don't get the requirement to do it still. A remote/power lock unlocks all doors at the same time. I haven't seen a car without power locks since the mid-80's.

Even out of courtesy, why reach over to unlock a door when it's already unlocked?
