How To Behave When Given A Lift In Someone’s Car

When someone gives you a lift in their car, 99 percent chances are that you do not have a car yourself. When you are in someone’s car, there are several unwritten rules that you have to follow. No school will teach this. It should be inborn.

Stop struggling rolling the windows up and down

You have been given a lift. A car is like someone’s house. As the host to kindly roll down the windows if you feel the car is too hot. It is not your work to do that but the owner of the car. I am not talking about Uber or Bolt. I am talking about free rides.

Stop struggling with door

If you are either outside or inside the car, stop struggling with the car release. Most cars are sensitive. They automatically lock and the driver has to release them automatically before you can either enter or alight. Be patient and stop fighting with the door.

Why are you changing the radio?

Someone has given you a lift. If he wanted a DJ, he would have told you so. Your work is to sit and watch the road, or tell the stories to entertain the driver. If the driver is listening to a certain kind of music, in his/her car, who are you to imagine that the music is boring and you need to change for them?

Why are you turning on the AC without asking the owner of the car?

First, stranger, do you know that the AC increases fuel consumption by 8 – 10 percent? Na huu uchumi wa Ruto, unataka kuua nani na costs? If the car is too hot and the owner is comfortable, get a paper and breeze the air towards yourself.

My car is too old?

Keep it to yourself. Why are you rubbing it into my face stranger? I know my car. Why do you want to behave as if you have made the greatest invention by discovering that my car is old?
