4. Don't have additional people that you invited along. Don't assume they will have a "seat" in the vehicle.

Don't assume it's okay to bring little Billy's dinner into my car. I may not want anyone eating in my ride!

Question: How do you guys feel about offering to give gas money?

Yes, I know it sounds ghetto, but . . . . I was a student for four years getting my BA and then another three getting my MA. I tell ya, some people will take advantage of you and let you chauffeur them ALL around town ALL the time (not just to church and back home, either . . . to the store, to cash their paycheck, to the ATM, to pick up their kids from daycare, etc) and never offer to give you a dime. Beleive it or not, some college students have to budget out their gas money or they won't be able to get to work / class / church. Plus, anything they get they will more than likely appreciate.

So, here is my idea about money for gas: If you know they are professionals, working full time, then okay. But if you know that they are a college student and they are watching every dime, offer to give them some money especialy if you are one of their "frequent flyers."

You might want to ask once "Can I give you something for your time?" If they say no, then let it drop unless you are again, a frequent flyer.

Be Blessed  :)

I believe in offering money for gas; especially with TODAY'S gas prices.  :D

Just the opposite.  It sounds quite classy to me.

Their work/school status matters naught to me.  I offer REGARDLESS.  Mostly I just give it to them w/out asking. 

Just my Twin Lincolns.  ;)

I'm not a big fan of the "Money for Gas" thinking.

Why??

1.  You can go 20+ miles on a gallon which is $3 bucks at the most
2.  If you are going to the same place anyways, why charge??
3.  I just believe in giving, and doing for for folks without looking for anything in return.

Praise God I seldom have to ask for a ride these days.  But I would always offer gas money, esp. if we're going a long ways, the person is nice enough to let me ride, the least I can do is pitch in something. 

On the other hand, I have a hard time accepting it from people I pick up, even if I could use it.

I feel ya, BUT it avoids unneccessarary (intentional) Conflama (conflict, confusion & drama).  In the area I'm in, that kind of thinking will get u used & abrused (again, intentional).  Square Biz.  It's shameful but true.

“Pick Up” Etiquette

When someone is picking you up for church, work, a date, etc….. please

1.   Be Ready
2.   Re-read Rule one
3.   Don’t ask to stop by somewhere


Ummmmmm... you feelin okay homey... cause this osund like the post about someone blowin the horn at 5 am... LOL...


When I pick people up, I expect them...

1. To be ontime
2. No ask me to stop when we already late
3. Ask me to take you to like three places and you aint put a dime in my tank.
4. Be ready when its time to leave....

I cant stand to pick someone up and I gotta wait in they house for all this time lookin at they ugly boyfriend/ girlfriend/ kids while they still tryin to find they other boot, and tryin to find what purse or jacket to wear.... They get in the car and got nerve to ask "can you take me by the bank real quick?" >:( That is annoying.

I'm not raising an offering for gas. If I help you a couple of times and you don't offer I will not help you again.. period. It's shows people have bad manners when they won't at least offer.

Another thing. No fartin' in the ride.. I know we all saved but folks will fart in your ride. It's nothing worse than having that unspoken conversation. You know the one where you both look at each other and its just yall in the car. Each one insist its the other one. Oh I guess its just me huh..  Another thing. For the drivers keep some peppermint in the whip because every now and again somebody may have forgotten to hit those teeth and gums... Yall no I ain't lying.. I'm just say though lol...
