Default Things passengers do that annoy the bejeebers outta you.

I don't drive my IS that much but the few times I took my son to school in it, he would stuff his back pack on the floor between his knees and the dash. Got a nice scratch near the glove box from a zipper.

I remind him EVERY time he gets into ANY car not to do it but he still does and claims he is careful. WHY DON'T YOU JUST PUT IT IN THE BACK SEAT OR THE BED OF THE TRUCK?!?


Glad school is over for now...

What do people do with your car that annoys you?

1. my girlfriend likes to lean back and put her feet on the dash. i used to allow it in my old e46 but no more.

2. passengers who push the door open using the window which then leaves fingerprints all over the inside of the window. OR people who point to things ahead beyond the windshield and actually touch the glass.

3. people putting **** into MY cupholder.

4. passengers who casually let wrappers/receipts/empty bottles fall down the sides of their seat or underneath it.

Nice to know that I'm not the only one who gets frustrated with passengers do these things.....

The tapping on the glass thing bugs the heck out of me! Or when they close the door, they close it using the glossy black trim that I had on my ES350 or the window of my current IS250C. I hate it when people slam the door too hard. Or when people are getting in the backseat and their shoes dirty up the back of the seats or the trim. Scuff marks on scuff-panel trim sucks too!

I have a friend who slams my door every time he exits because he's used to driving a heavy door Camaro. When I ask him to stop he just calls me unflattering names.. so yeah

I hate the slamming door with a passion.

For repeat offenders, I've started driving off slowly as soon as the person has exited the car so they don't have a chance to slam it. Door closes on its own unless they've opened it too far in which case I just blip the throttle to get it to close.

I really hate it when I'm on the driver side opening the door and my passengers are yanking away at the door handle as if they're trying to yank the entire door off. I keep telling them to wait, but they never listen. I, too, hate when random people in the parking lot use the trunk or hood to hold their personal belongings, albeit for a short period of time.
