Some of you guys are really rich though. I'd be interested to see how you handle being dressed down by another person in your own vehicle.
I wasn't the driver, however a coworker of mine was... We were returning to LI from NYC after an extended day working on the rehab of the Manhattan Bridge in the oppressive heat of mid August.. (Note that the three of us in the carpool were hired within a few days of each other)

The driver, and the guy in the front passenger seat started having words about something... I'm not sure what...girlfriend... wife... something stupid... I was trying to sleep in the back...

All of a sudden the car stops.... The two guys in the front seats get out of the car.... and started having a fist fight...

This was on the BQE over the Kosciusko Bridge heading back to LI

The driver basically knocked out the verbal abuser, and left him on the bridge...

Needless to say it was a very interesting day when we got to work the next day...

This happened in the early 80's and started my aversion to car pooling...

I associate letting someone carpool with me as I would inviting someone into my house....If you come in and complain and gripe.... see ya!!
