[Fluff time] You are on a day and a half road trip, who are the top three worse travel companions?
Stretch your mind that you are on a trip, by vehicle, no jet, no train; you are stuck in a vehicle with them. Yes, you can imagine a motorhome or motor coach. Who would be the top three people you would not want to travel with, such as one who sweats easy and, you know, has BO, someone who has to give you the history of every landmark you pass if you care to know or not, someone who has to stop for some reason ever 30 miles or so, maybe someone has a problem with passing gas off nearly anything they eat, think of what would bug you and imagine having to travel for a day in a half with them, what type of top three people that bug you would they be?

No one in particular in mind but:
1. Someone who is uncomfortable with silence and jabbers incessantly
2. Someone who cannot tell when I am listening to a particular song
3. Someone who cannot read a map well enough to give directions.
a rapist, a murderer and a priest.
@rojo 3. Someone who cannot read a map well enough to give directions.
They have GPS now, I don’t know anyone who uses a map, if you can even find them.
@ragingloli a rapist, a murderer and a priest.
You know these facts before you take a trip with them? If you did not know, you would never know the rapist was a rapist, you would not know the murderer was a murderer unless you are wrong and there is an afterlife, if not, then you’d never know it, and if you knew the priest was a priest and when along anyhow, and was irked by that even if he said nothing the whole trip or slept 80% of the time, then you got your just desserts.
My wife and I use both a map and a GPS. Sometimes the GPS does not want to go where, or the way I want to go. If the GPS says go straight and I want to take a right down that dirt road, I want to know where it goes and how to eventually get where I was originally headed. The GPS will spend its time, until I turn it off, trying to give me directions on how to turn around and go back to its chosen path. At these times, I like to have the broader picture a map gives me so I can see my options.
Given my experiences travelling by train/bus/car/plane I know I can tolerate pretty much anything except people who want to talk to me about their religion.
A day and a half isn’t long enough for smells to knock me out, I don’t vomit if others vomit, I’ve inadvertently shared a seating area with someone who was arrested partway through the trip more than once (train travel in the north is always interesting). I can listen to people natter on about all kinds of things and at least seem to be polite, but religious talk can really make me angry. Not sure I could control that for a day and a half.
Mine would be as follows: from experience
1. The constant snacker that litters the car with their array of snack wrappers. Just fucking wait to stop and eat. haha
2. The rigid agenda type, The one that wants to drive 17 hour straight instead of just taking our time and enjoying the sights along the way, stopping every couple hours, just relax, half the fun is the journey not getting to the destination.
3. The silent seat mate. Gee, I’m glad you can drive for 7 hours and only speak 5 words but I want some some goddamn conversation! haha
@Coloma Sorry dear, I think we would need to take separate cars.
@BellaB I can listen to people natter on about all kinds of things and at least seem to be polite, but religious talk can really make me angry. Not sure I could control that for a day and a half.
Is that any and all religion or selective religions?
@ragingloli the question was for three people, not one person with three aspects.
^ There might be a comprehension problem there, let’s not tell the world about it. ~~~
I can’t think of any three people I would want to be in the car with for 1.5 days.
I’ve always said that the true test of a new relationship is to take a 2 week road trip with someone. haha
I took a 2 week road trip with a guy I was dating back in 2005 and by the time we got from CA. through Nevada, Utah & Colorado to Santa Fe N.M. I opted for separate hotel rooms. lol
My boss, Donald Trump, and a lady I used to work with…I can’t stand any of these people, and would not want to spend any extended amount of time with them.
@Hypocrisy_Central , I think it would be best for me to avoid anyone talking at me about their religion.
A man who can’t stop talking for the reasons of wanting to impress himself and me.
A person who continues making remarks he/she thinks are funny when they’re not funny.
Anyone who actually hates road trips so drives 10mph over the speed limit to reach our destination as soon as possible thus risking death or a speeding ticket.
