Some of my readers already know I slug to work every day of the work week. Slugging is a form of legal hitchhiking, to catchup on the slug terms, rules and regulations please check out my first slug life column. Since I’m riding with strangers daily you know I have an abundance of crazy stories.

I know I’ve spoken about aggressive drivers, dirty cars and stank breath folks but I’ve never really discussed rude drivers. With many situations in life we’re guaranteed to run into some rude people, but nothing irritates me most like being stuck in the car with a rude ass person.

The entire time you’re just killing the back of their head with your useless ass death stare because they didn’t say “Good Morning”. Call me “special, but please say good morning to the stranger riding in your car, they could be crazy! Some drivers pull up all grumpy because there late for work, ummm you need to fix your attitude.

It wasn’t my fault you’re late, you better be happy I’m here. If it wasn’t for me your late ass would be even later. I had a grumpy late driver, try to make me go to a different location just because she was trying to save time. I explained to her if she wasn’t taking me to my stop she can let me out and go back and find someone else to ride with. She yelled “NO, I’ll just take you” and had a tantrum the entire way to the city. I’m not going to lie, I was happy she was pissed off! After that I made a point to tell every slug that would listen about how rude she was and “surprise” everyone had a story about her ass. This morning another passenger told me that he was dropped off in an entirely different city. The driver said “Sorry, I had a meeting”. So basically, the slug driver abducted two people to get to work on time. I would’ve have fake called the police and see what happens

I swore I was in the Italian Job last week. This lady was driving the hell out of this little Ford hatchback, driving like she stole something. I kept looking behind me for the Feds and then jerking my head to the front again to brace for impact with the car in front of us. I know we got home in half the time but that ride was stressful! I bet the passenger in the front seat was wearing out those imaginary breaks, the carpet was probably all rolled-up. I don’t understand why people have to drag race with slugs in the car. They need to chill before they get a ticket. Nothing is more awkward than being in the slug car when the driver gets a ticket. They have you sitting in the car listening to the driver tell the cop some BS lie and fight to not catch an attitude when he/she apologizes for the 6th time for getting pulled over. In the past 2 months I’ve seen three bad slug car accidents. Y’all know if you crash with me in your car, I’m about to bleed your insurance dry. Everything is going to be broke on me.

Just because you made friends in the slug car doesn’t mean you’re friends out of it. I’ve met so many people in the slug car but if I see them out of the car they have no clue who I am. I don’t know the difference from me sitting in your passenger seat Vs seeing you in the hallway two hours later. I guess I look extremely different inside a vehicle. I hope I look hot!

Speaking of hot I rode in the hottest slug car. Usually the problem is the car is too cold, AC is on in 15 degree weather. One warm afternoon I got picked up by a slug car that had on the HEAT. It was “On the equator” hot in that car! You know it’s hot when you sweat around your eyes, I had sweat leaking from my face, back of my legs, everywhere. I was so hot, I fell asleep like in those movies where people sleep exhausted in the dessert. I woke up with sand on my face and the buzzards circling above. I should’ve known something was up when the driver pulled up with a scarf, gloves, winter hat and parka on in 69 degree weather. I was so happy to get in my car and turn on the AC.
