Rude passengers and rules you enforce in the Z.
 
Hey ladies and gents, I'd thought I'd start a thread and talk about what some people have rudely done in your Z or other car(s) without asking first. Feel free to also share what rules you enforce in your Z or other car(s).

I'll start...when I still had my 06 G35 coupe I was on a second date with a young lady and out of no where she just put her feets up on my dash! Man I got irritated lol.

I also hate when people just start turning knobs and pushing buttons on my center console like it's there car.

As far as rules that I enforce in my Z, I don't allow no food or drinks in my car since I would choke someone if a drink or food spilled in my Z.

Let's hear some stories. I'm sure some of you have some. :eekdance:

No smoking, that's about it. Most everything can be cleaned, but smoking products live forever and kill the value of the car.

If I'm on a long road trip, passenger mans google maps and plays good music. I really don't mind people eating or drinking in my Z. If they spill it, no big deal! They just have to clean it up as much as they can, then I'll take care of it. As long as they're not back-seat/passenger-seat driving, pooping/pissing on my passenger seat, smelling really foul, or screaming at random people on the street, I'll take anyone along for the ride!

If you want to put your feet on my dash, at least take the shoes off.

The only concern I have about feet on the dash (besides making it dirty) is if we were to get in an accident. I can't imagine the airbag shooting their knees into their head would feel good.

If the windows are down they stay down! I love the fresh air and don't like a/c in the car.

Dang! Are you guys picking up hitchhikers?

I can't recall when I've had a problem with a passenger over the age of 18 in any of my cars since it became common courtesy not to smoke in other people's cars without permission.

Yeah, I remember reading a story about an EMT on reddit and I warn my passengers if they do put their feet up on the dash. Here it is in spoilers (GRAPHIC WARNING):

( Click to show/hide )
Medic for 10+ yrs. Responded to an MVA, front impact with cement barrier, where a teenager in the passenger seat had her feet up on the front dash (seatbelt on). The car accordian'd as it should have, but her legs were in front of part of the A-column and where the crumple zone of a car meets the rigid "safety cell" where passengers are meant to be seated, protecting your body behind the A-column and underneath the dash. When the hood pushes backward into that area it should meet resistance from the internal frame, but because of the way she was seated, her legs were driven into the plate of the car's hood, resulting in lateral amputation of both legs-- (instead of cutting a hotdog in half, it's like slicing it lengthwise all the way through). The force folded her in half so badly her own body broke her hips and jammed into her upper chest. When we got there she was more liquid than person; it was really hard to figure out how to even scoop up someone who's still alive like that. Absolute miracle she lived. I realize this is perhaps more anecdotal to you than fact, because it's shitty when people get into car accidents at all, but if you want a not-so-fun image to scare you away from something, it comes to mind. Don't extend your body towards the crumple zone. The sense of confused horror I had when I realized she was still alive, and how in-pieces she was, will forever prevent me from EVER sitting like her in a car, or allowing a passenger to sit like that when I'm driving. ****. No.

Pretty much this.

Rule Number 1: Don't Be a ****.

That G35 coupe dash must look like a foot rest, I had a woman do the same damn thing in my 06 G35!!!! It was night time so I had to do a double take, I quickly told her to get her feet off of there.

Damn girls lol.

No food, no drink. No smoking in a Z is a given. I would never be together with anyone that smokes (in a romantic way). It is so great the Z does not have a lighter.
