I don't allow it at all, and people know it. I often times refuse to carry people who I know are smokers. Chances are they've smoked very recently before climbing into your car, bringing their stench along for the ride. Plus it makes me sick, and I don't want a headache while I'm driving nor do I want to vomit on my leather

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. on long road trips with girls the decide that it's a good idea to put there feet up on the dash. Not only is this unsafe as hell but would you put you're feet on someone couch. Same damn difference. Sometimes i just wish I could slam on the brakes. Ohh and people who do not like to wear there seat belts. this just bothers the hell outta me.

My annoyances as have been stated elsewhere:

Leg crosses that kick the dash or backseat.

People who carry sharp/pointy objects. I learned that lesson in the last car so now I tell passenegrs to remove aanyhting form their pockets that will damage the seats.

Door slammers.

Passengers who rest their feet where the mat doesn't cover.

My worst:

Had one passnger who flung the door open then got in and when the car settled the door was stuck on the curb. Rather than being thoughtful and getting out to unwedge the door, he just kept yanking on it till it closed....you could hear the metal scraping on the concrete. It left a 6-7" arc of paint and metal shavings.

Ohhhh, just remembered something due to last night. Girls who like to dance like complete idiots in the car. All that flailing distracts my *** a little and really gets on my nerves.

Yeah I had someone put a hole in my pass. seat who in the hell keeps there keys in there back pocket.

I also had a friend slam the lower portion of my door into a curb.

If there are two of us only in the car, and the ride is no more than an hour, PLEASE DON'T SLEEP.

I will be forced to turn my music louder to keep your *** awake. Also, TJW, for me, Singing along with the music is OK, IF YOU KNOW THE DAMN WORDS. DONT BE singing two words every 3 lines, or be mumbling when it gets to a part you dont know. Shut up if you cant sing along well.

My top annoyances are passengers:
* Who constant ride pulling down on the grab bar on the headliner.
* Who leave fingerprints all over the outside door pillars
and finally those
* Who slam the door with all of their might - I just tell them that they can never get in my car anymore.

SLAMing the doors and trunk shut. Like nails on a chalk board. Screech.
