What if you get killed by a Psycho?

I keep hearing this when I tell people that I've been slugging.

It's actually a pretty good question. And hopefully one day I will never find out the answer to.

"Do people smell?"

"You can't talk or touch the windows or anything? Do you really need permission to fart?"

"What if they just kidnap you?"

So far I haven't experienced any of that. What I've experienced is a stress-free ride to work when I am a slug. I spend no money on gas or parking. As a driver, I'm actually a bit more tense because I don't know who is in my car, and I don't want to play the stereo too loud as to upset them; and be one of the people I'm writing about. So I definitely like being a slug as opposed to the driver by 100 times over.

It's funny because etiquette requires slugs to thank drivers when they get in and get out. When they say "thank you" when they get in, it's a bit awkward, because your first reaction is "you're welcome" but I think proper slug etiquette is to thank them back.

Anyways, so far it's been entertaining. Especially so when you have government employees driving to work. So I'm sure I'm going to have plenty of content for this blog.
