How about...


Having sex in the borrowed car when you were told not to?

Seriously, we had to TELL FH's friend not to have sex while he was borrowing our car. And he definitely didn't listen.

#1 smoke

#2 change the presets... Use the dial, don't go changing people's presets!



I agree... also would add leaving the tank empty

I don't know if I can choose what the worst is, they are all so bad.

I chose the presets first in the poll, but smoking is definitely the worst of the list I think.

Smoking.......Even though I'm a former smoker and miss it like heck sometimes, I don't want the stink in my car -- especially with my twins coming soon...

For me smoking and channing the stations presets.. are the worse. I dont smoke and cant stand the smell so this would really bug me out.. and preset stations I hate having to set them in first place.. so if someone changed them on me.. Ugh..

Re: Random poll of the day.....what is a worse offense when borrowing someone's car...

Of the choices, I don't see how you could borrow someone's car and then NOT move the seat and the mirrors and actually drive safely. I borrow DH's car all the time and I can't see if I don't move the seat and mirrors.

As for the BO - yes it's offensive, but many people with offending BO aren't self aware.

That leaves smoking, eating and radio presets (do people actually change radio presets??). Of the three I have to say smoking for a variety of reasons. First, the odor lingers and NEVER, EVER truly goes away because you cannot wash the headliner in a car. Second, many people are allergic and it just isn't fair to them. Third, the smell of cigarettes affects the resale value of a car.

Eating isn't a tragedy unless you spill ketchup all over the seats and leave a permanent stain.

Radio presets?? I can honestly say I've never changed radio presets - not even in a rental car. Who does this?????

If someone borrowed my car and changed the radio presets, I'd be really annoyed.. to me that's so rude!!!!

Also smoking in the car... I would hate that!!!!

The others I could get over... I could just change back the mirrors & seat in 2 seconds... also the BO thing the person didn't do on purpose & is easy to fix.

I would say smoking. BO - while pretty bad - may not be something that someone is aware of.

In order
Smoking is an intentional offense that lingers.

Leaving the tank empty - if someone lends you a car, filll it up. It's common courtesy.

Eating is bad but still more understandable.

The seats & mirrors I don't mind.




Barb, so can I borrow your car and have sex in it this weekend then? Chat Icon



Don't forget to have a cigarette after you're done having sex.

It's a toss up between smoking in the car and changing the radio pre-sets. The other stuff I don't care too much about. I actually would HOPE that they would adjust the seat and mirrors so they can drive properly and not crash the car. However, there is no reason to change pre-sets and smoking in my car and/or home is a big no-no.

ETA: I have brought my car in for service and the mechanics have changed my pre-sets. Usually was one station to some hard rock station.

Smoking would be the worst, IMO. Changing the radio presets would really p*ss me off though!
