I think it is rude (phone calls, music etc.) Perhaps she should find another ride. Tell her starting next week she needs to find another ride.

 

you are all missing the point...its like you dont know rat at all.....

he likes her

 

She sounds annoying. Tell her to at least get a speaker dock for her phone and listen to better music.

Do you know her very well? Maybe she's just covering up social anxiety. I've been known to pretend text to hide the fact that I don't have a damn thing to say.

 

You could tell her if she wants to play "bad music " , and text do it on a public buss , or some one else's car . I guess you could still hump her , she could still listen to that "bad music " with ear buds or head phones . Texting . or using the cell phone while having sex would be a bit strange . I will assume the "bad music " is rap . If its 70s -80s rock , thats good music . desert rat

 

So he NEG reps me too. Who exactly did I creep out and how the fuck did you know?

 

there are more kinds of music than 70s-80s rock, and rap.

 

Rat, if you like her, which some one else stated you do, and you want her prime attention, GET INVOLVED in what she is into. Ask her about her music, and who she's txting and what's goin' down. I can bet you won't see it as rude when she's involving you in her life

 

he should start texting her while he's driving and she's in the passenger seat.

 

Actually I am aware of that. But why like someone who treats you with such disrespect? Sounds to me like she is just taking advantage of him.

 

i guessed that he likes her...gut instinct.

i am also guessing if she was ''nasty in a bad way'' that she would have lasted about 2 minutes before he pushed her out without even slowing down

no...she's got to be a looker....us shallow types will put up with quite a bit from ''lookers''

 

she must be hot.

 

Some people do see using technology all the time as the norm. I don't think it's as rude to text in a car going somewhere as much as, say, going out to dinner with someone and the other person is rudely texting at the table. You're busy driving so I think it's alright if she texts. However, if you're trying to initiate conversation with her and she's ignoring you and just on the phone then that's very rude. It seems maybe you don't get along with her, so why do you give her rides? Tell her to take the bus if she annoys you that much and be honest with her and let her know why you don't wanna give her rides. You don't have to please everyone..

 

That is extremely rude and disrespectful. You're right about other people's cars. If someone is nice enough to give a ride a person should at least hold a conversation. I suppose if they wanted to listen to music they could ask politely and then put it on a tolerable level; but still chat. It's common courtesy. I've dealt with the same thing many times and usually I ignore it but I've mentioned it and the results were just like yours.

I still can't figure out why young people (mostly) blast their music everywhere. They'll blast it from their laptops before class starts, rattle your jaw with sound systems and they think that everyone has the same taste as them? I'm not really complaining but does anyone have any insight into this?

 

I actually have always thought it was strange that two people can be having a real life conversation and the phone rings, and it gets priority. I do it too because that's just what you do, but if it was another real life person coming up and saying "hey, hey, hey, hey.. I have something to say" you'd be like.. "Wait!". Phones should have a "wait" button so that the person calling knows you'll get to them in a minute. Anyway yeah, I think people sitting around together absorbed in their phones is often rude and kind of creepy.

 

That's a good point. I don't answer calls/texts if I'm busy doing something with another person. I think it's a rude interruption. If I'm watching a movie with someone or talking to them or out at some event, I won't take the call cuz I think that's rude. I've had people take calls during movies just to chat with another friend about nonsense. They could call the person back later or even maybe just pick it up and say "Can I call you back later, I'm in the middle of a movie.." but I've been in situations where the person I was watching the movie with will pause it and just go bullshit for 25 min on the phone with the friend. That's annoying and makes me grumpy. or what about when a group of people are getting ready to go out somewhere then one person gets a call and then they're the hold up...and everyone is just waiting..

 

Matt...i suggest you just put up with it at this stage of your life

everyone probably thinks youre gay...so now at least theres a small chance they will see you with a woman

 

i agree...not about being a fag...but about putting up with it to look at her cleavage on hot summer days
