    Rules For Passengers (If they're allowed)

    If you allow passengers in your car (I don't, anymore), what are your set of rules.
    Here's a FEW of mine.


    Don't lean/sit on the car
    Don't sit things ON the car
    No tyre touching
    Don't eat/drink/smoke in the car
    Don't ever slam the door
    Don't wear rings
    Don't sit ANYTHING on the dash
    No feet on the door sill panel while entering/exiting (that's a big one)
    Don't kick the door open/ don't kick it shut
    Keep your feet on the floor mats
    Do not use the kick panel as a foot rest

    Now the specific ones

    Shut the door with the designated door pull, NOT the armrest
    Get my permission before opening a window
    Don't turn off my music for a loud and stupid cell phone conversation



    Break one and you'll get banned from my car, and I won't even throw you change for the bus.
    Yep, I'm pretty much crazy with a bit of OCD.

    Share your rules

    It's either a$$ or cash...but no one rides for free. Swear I didn't read that on a bumper sticker somewhere...

      I think it was Gas, grass or $$$, but nobody rides for free.
      You repair things with tools. You fix things with a hammer.

        Don't lean/sit on the car
        agreed
        Don't sit things ON the car
        agreed
        No tyre touching
        never had that problem
        Don't eat/drink/smoke in the car
        I'm a hypocrite. I can smoke in my car, no one else can
        Don't ever slam the door
        strongly agreed
        Don't wear rings
        not an issue for me-never caused a problem
        Don't sit ANYTHING on the dash
        never had an issue there
        No feet on the door sill panel while entering/exiting (that's a big one)
        a bit AC on that one, I really can't see myself asking people to not do that.
        Don't kick the door open/ don't kick it shut
        that would be the LAST time that person would get in any of my cars
        Keep your feet on the floor mats
        strongly agree
        Do not use the kick panel as a foot rest
        never had an issue there

        Now the specific ones

        Shut the door with the designated door pull, NOT the armrest
        again, hard to ask people not to do that
        Get my permission before opening a window
        agreed
        Don't turn off my music for a loud and stupid cell phone conversation
        that would be one rude passenger!

        I'd like to add that if your passenger rolls their window up, don't "override" them by lowering it to the point it was initially at. Some people don't like wind blowing in their face. I have bad allergies and don't want pollen and dust blowing in my face.

          Yeah, think that was it....but since I don't smoke I guess I conveniently forgot the grass part.

            Always open and close the door for women whether it's your wife, gf, mother, sister, niece, co-worker (eliminates the whole arm-rest thing). I even hold their purse or other bag while they get in, eliminating accidental bag-dings. Meantime you score points for being a gentleman

            Lock the power windows (eliminates them lowering without permission)

            No eating anything that crumbles or has sauce that could drip. I try to discourage any eating in the car by patiently waiting for my passenger to finish whatever they're eating before entering the car. And I never use drive thru windows. If someone wants to eat, we park the car and sit down inside.

            Drinks must be covered and placed in the cupholder when not being used.

              I man the doors for the ladies. So the armrest (and door) problem is only from the dudes.

              I don't think power window locks were available on the 92 Caprices; and I haven't came up with a good solution, yet.

                Most people I know sit on the seat then swivel themselves into the vehicle. Before they swivel in, I ask them to tap there feet together. This knocks off outside the vehicle any dirt sand etc. In the grooves in the bottom of their shoes.

                  I hardly ever carry passengers, so I don't have any rules. In my car, I do as I please!

                          That's mostly where my no rings rule came from.

                            To keep it simple. The only thing that enters the car is you. Your hands only touch the door handle to get in and out and the seat belt to put it on.
