Mayo Rockville Maryland, US *The Guru*	I dont know about you guys, but with most of my friends, Im usually the driver. And I love having control of shotgun :twisted:. So here are the rules my friends and I follow for calling shotgun: Quote: The rules listed below apply to the calling of Shotgun (the passenger seat) in an automobile. These rules are definitive and binding. Section I: The Basic Rules 1. In order to call Shotgun, the caller must pronounce the word "Shotgun" in a clear voice. This call must be heard and acknowledged by the driver. The other occupants of the vehicle need not hear the call as long as the driver verifies the call. 2. Shotgun may only be called if all occupants of the vehicle are outside and on the way to said vehicle. 3. Early calls are strictly prohibited. Shotgun may only be called while walking toward the vehicle and only applies to the drive immediantly forthcoming. Shotgun can never be called while inside a vehicle or still technically on the way to the first location. For example, one can not get out of a vehicle and call Shotgun for the return journey. 4. The driver has final say in all ties and disputes. The driver has the right to suspend or remove all shotgun priviledges from one or more persons. Section II: Special Cases --These special exceptions to the rules above should be considered in the order presented; the case listed first will take precendence over any of the cases beneath it, when applicable.-- 1. In the instance that the normal driver of a vehicle is drunk or otherwise unable to perform their duties as driver, then he/she is automatically given Shotgun. 2. If the instance that the person who actually owns the vehicle is not driving, then he/she is automatically given Shotgun, unless they decline. 3. In the instance the the driver's spouse, lover, partner, or hired prostitute for the evening is going to accompany the group, he/she is automatically given Shotgun, unless they decline. 4. In the instance that one of the passengers may become so ill during the course of the journey that the other occupants feel he/she will toss their cookies, then the ill person should be given Shotgun to make appropriate use of the window. 5. In the instance that only one person knows how to get to a given location and this person is not the driver, then as the designated navigator for the group they automatically get Shotgun, unless they decline. 6. In the instance that one of the occupants is too wide or tall to fit comfortably in the back seat, then the driver may show mercy and award Shotgun to the genetic misfit. Alternatively, the driver and other passengers may continually taunt the poor fellow as they make a three hour trip with him crammed in the back. Section III: The Survival of the Fittest Rules 1. If the driver so wishes, he/she may institute the Survival of the Fittest Rules on the process of calling Shotgun. In this case all rules, excepting I-4, are suspended and the passenger seat is occupied by whoever can take it by force. 2. The driver must announce the institution of the Survival of the Fittest Rules with reasonable warning to all passengers. This clause reduces the amount of blood lost by passengers and the damage done to the vehicle. Please follow the above rules to the best of your ability. If there are any arguments or execptions not covered in these rules, please refer to rule I-4.

Rabid_Lemming Cumming Georgia, US Scion Guru	Sounds about right As a general rule of being a gentleman, I always expect male passengers to defer shotgun rights when a female is present. However, should the female defer her Chivalry-given rights, then normal rules apply. My car isn't the fastest car out there, but I'll tell ya.... Sometimes I haul more ass than a pimp driving a caddy full of hoes. Me to Pathik at PRacing.com about modding cars "It's like crack, but you don't lose as much weight...also you don't blow people for performance parts. So I guess it's nothing like crack"

Mayo Rockville Maryland, US *The Guru*	Hahaha, I once took shotgun privileges away from a friend because he bought Twizzlers when we stopped at 7-11.

Crash Clovis New Mexico, US Godlike Advisor	Very nicely done. Somewhere on the internet, there is a 10 page universal shotgun rules book, I found it a little over a year ago when disputes started to get out of hand. The SEARCH feature on the site works, I promise. USE IT!!! "I almost numchucked you, you dont even reallise!!" -Will Ferrell-

falkore24 New Jersey, US Vehicle Designer	Mayo: LOL ...... did you see the Simpson's last night?!? Bart busted the rat because he gave Skinner the blue twizzlers!!! Crash: That's when you envoke permanent Survival of the Fittest Rules .... except anyone that touches the car in a way that it doesn't like gets demoted to permanent b!+ch seat!!!

Mayo Rockville Maryland, US *The Guru*	Ahh didn't see that episode, haha. Oh but true, if a person touches the car is a way that could damage/scratch car: revoked shotgun!

falkore24 New Jersey, US Vehicle Designer	Dude! If they touch the car and leave a thumbprint on my nicely detailed finish they're getting tossed in the back middle seat!!! I don't care if there's nobody else in the car even!!!
[#] Jun 02, 2008 03:04pm
Crash Clovis New Mexico, US Godlike Advisor	That should go beyond revoked shotgun. I believe an incident like this should go straight to the most severe penalty possible under international shotgun rules. This person should serve a term of no less than 1 month sitting "bitch" in the back seat. The SEARCH feature on the site works, I promise. USE IT!!!

FrAnkRYzzO Perry Hall Maryland, US $upervillain for Hire	Nice, Mayo! I have to disagree with Section 2, Rule 3 though. The spouse/lover/whore is only given shotgun by default if she outranks the other passengers. When its a case of the 18 month girlfriend and the 22 year best friend, shorties ridin bitch! Bros before hoes 4Life! :twisted: Begin the flaming in 4, 3, 2, 1... Begin Flaming! ............... Search or one of these adorable kittens WILL DIE!

However, the Bro should definately reallise the consequences this could have on you "gettin some" on this particular night. He would then become "cock blocker" not bro.
