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.

Fuzzzy 09-17-2014 09:55 PM
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.

cooltoy 09-17-2014 10:39 PM
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.

I'm sure you can. The company website is on the bottom right hand corner of the pic :tup:

Pintsize725 09-17-2014 11:16 PM
My husband is usually my only passenger and I hate when he clips his carabiner keychain (with ~6 keys on it) on my door handle. Sometimes he'll have it clipped to his right side belt loop and then proceed to sit in the Z. I can hear all of the keys hit the kick plate area.

Limeybastard 09-18-2014 12:28 AM
Feets allowed on dash, only if wearing a skirt. No smoking tobacco products in car althought I vape and that is steam no worries.

No slamming the f**** door either, and whilst on the subject of doors please dont press against the door if it doesnt shut all the way. One way to get a dents.

jcasti07 09-18-2014 01:22 AM
I hate when they pout when you go full throttle. It's like, what did you think I was gonna let you roll around In a Hyundai? Haha!

Bad Boy 09-18-2014 01:24 AM
No smoking, and No condoms.

Shawa 09-18-2014 01:40 AM
Dude literally the same thing happened, she took her gladiator flip flops off and put her feet on the dash, then out the window. I was like uhh yea this will never work out lol

Morbid370Z 09-18-2014 04:45 AM
Mine would have to be.. don't shut the door by grabbing the ******* window. There is a door handle for a reason!

Pie 09-18-2014 04:52 AM
No dirty shoes

mishuko 09-18-2014 05:36 AM
No eating (unless it's a long drive), drinks are okay aslong as they have a closable lid, don't smudge my glass or dials, no cigs, don't complain about the whiplash, don't touch my car unnecessarily...

Mbreese 09-18-2014 06:15 AM
Rude passengers and rules you enforce in the Z.
 
***, cash , or grass no one rides for free !!!!
No food or drinks , no smoking , no telling me I make u nervous !!!!!!! It only upsets me more !
It's not a toy it's my second love so please respect the car as much as u want me to respect you !!!

And one other thing yes my car has feelings !!!! Lol

JARblue 09-18-2014 06:28 AM
I just avoid passengers for the most part :icon17:

My wife doesn't like riding with me when I'm driving "spiritedly", so I get her father or his girlfriend to ride with me when I'm finishing off tires for replacement. Ms. Pint is a top notch passenger as well :tup:

onzedge 09-18-2014 07:45 AM
The only rules I enforce with my passengers (always female) are my "clothing optional" and "no touching or talking during cornering" rules.

Munts 09-18-2014 08:43 AM
My pet peeve is when you're rocking out to a good song/the best part comes up and your passenger TURNS DOWN the music to say/tell you something. UGH.

not in my z, but on previous cars...

there was one girl that walked in some patch of sand before getting into my fresh ride. left footprints on my floor mat. :mad:

another girl that kept turning the dials for no reason. :shakes head:

then another girl that opened the passenger door and hit a sign pole, dented the door. :shakes head:

another girl that opened the door and scraped the bottom of the door onto the raised sidewalk. :facepalm:

my wife nor my kids dont do any of that. i taught my kids from day one not to eat or drink in the car, dont scuff the door or the sill while getting in/out of the car, dont touch the windows (no drawing), no smudges on the doors, etc. etc. my cars are very clean. :p

njobe89 09-18-2014 09:07 AM
1. do not touch my radio, you can do that elsewhere but in america you can get killed for that.
2. do not slam the door.
3. do not tell me to roll up the windows, f*ck your hair.
4. do not bitch about almost dying, but did you die?
5. do not bring food or beverages in the car.
6. i guess i could sum it all up by saying, sit still and do not move till we get to our destination.

-No feet on the dash.

-Please try not to slam the door.

-Always wear your seatbelt.

-No bitching about the way I drive (though I generally drive differently when I have a passenger).

-I try to give the passenger control of the radio, since they are my guest and I'd like to keep them happy, though I will overrule certain choices.

-YOUR ONE MAJOR JOB IS TO BE THE LOOKOUT FOR 5-0 and you must audibly point them out as well as physically. Same goes with traffic, lane changes, and hazards. - Probably my #1 rule.

Duc_Z09 09-18-2014 10:45 AM
1) No dirty shoes.
2) No trash. No eating, drinking or smoking either.:gtfo2:
3) Leave my music the f@&%* alone.:mad:
4) No feet on dash or door panels. WTF, my wife pulls this ******** all the time.
5) Watch the door when opening it.:eek:
6) No stepping on the kick panels or aero kit.
7) No bitching about the bumpy/fast ride.
8) No leaning forward when I'm pulling out into traffic to the left. I need to see, not you!:rolleyes:
9) No animals.

kenchan 09-18-2014 10:52 AM
these days i dont hold back and just tell any passenger i dont appreciate them getting into my car with their poor manners.

like me coaching my dumbarse neighbor down the street "you need to learn to respect other people's things".

QFT
Signs of a date gone bad... rude intro, doesn't have anything nice to say, and gets in car and starts messing with my radio.
Another one... whips out her phone and insists I try to setup Bluetooth while I'm driving, and then I'm forced to listen to low quality poorly compressed crappy music. It rings my ears. It's bad enough I have to listen to butchered 80s remakes she thinks are original! :mad:

kenchan 09-18-2014 10:57 AM
glad we didnt have BT while i was dating before i met my wife over 20yrs ago :ugh2:
