Car passenger question

There's no way you'd let anybody in your car do which ONE of the following:

Change the music
Smoke
Tell you how to drive
Change the heat or air conditioning
Bring their pets in
Eat

Tell me how to drive is the one thing I don't care for, unless they see a problem arising I don't.

Everything thing else I could care less about, it's just a vehicle not a untouchable shrine

I don't tell anyone else how to drive, unless they're doing a poor job of it or there's imminent danger, and I'd expect the same.

Since I quit smoking, that would probably out even though I smoked in the truck, it does n't smell like smoke and I want to keep it that way.

There's no reason to touch the heat/ac controls in my truck, I keep them at an ambient temperature. I'm not one of those 'on full blast/all the way off' cyclers. I just don't see the logic in cranking the heat/ac fully on to fully off throughout the trip. These people probably are the ones that jump from line to line at the car wash, thinking they're getting through faster.

Depends on what kind of pet, I don't like Ahole pets, or ususlly, their owners.

Smoking and telling me how to drive are out. Don't care much about the rest.

Only thing they might get away with is changing the heat or ac, thats it!

They can smoke, not a problem, eating would depend on who it was, the rest are strictly off limits...

smoke: smoke what? anything good they better share
tell me how to drive: just hold my beer and shut up, wake me up if fall asleep again.
change heat or ac: not unless you want me to rip your arm off and beat ya with it.
bring their pets: thats what the box is for just tie fluffy down better this time.
Eat: pass some over here or walk

Let's hear from you RR. What are you trying to determine?

If the hypothetical passenger were female, I think we'd need pics to make an objective decision.

Otherwise:

music? meh, I'm flexible as long as we keep the rap and metal down to a minimum.

how to drive? If the music's up loud enough, we're good to go.

Change the HVAC- everything I own has power windows.

Bring the pets? Ummm.... how many feet/paws do said pets have? Do kids count? My Golden won't mind, as long as he can still ride shotgun.

Eat? Smoke? Nevah!!! That ain't gonna happen.

Probably who can read and answer the question correctly. notice the emphasis on "ONE" of those things in the list. I guess it was another psych test and we had to choose ONE thing that wouldn't be allowed. I failed.

I think Furball let us all in on the secret. This was a test formulated by RR and you all failed miserably!!
Now, so as not to a thread:


I would never allow someone to smoke in my vehicle. I think anyone who even asks if it's okay to smoke in a vehicle driven/ owned by a non-smoker is a pretentious boob. (JMNSHO)
