[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree 100% with PP.

To all you selfish people, get over yourselves!  And to all of you who hate carpools and always say no, good luck when you get a flat tire, your car is in the shop, you have the flu and your kid needs to be at some activity, you have older kids who do different activities in different parts of the county at the same time and you cannot get them both (or all 3 or 4) where they need to be when they need to be there, etc.

We all need to help each other out when we can and not be assholes.[/quote]

That PP wrote a polite response. Yours is rude. Why do you feel vulgar names are necessary here?

You preached "we all need to help each other" but also refer to those who don't help as you see fit as being selfish and a [jerk]. You seem unable to consider that people might have many reasons not to want to carpool besides "selfishness."

And a situation like a flat tire or someone being sick, and asking for help then, is not "carpooling," which is a regular, scheduled, ongoing deal. I don't do carpools but would gladly help out someone in situations like those. I'm sure most of us would help and most of us have friends who would help us if we were the ones making the request. Even if we weren't carpool partners. [/quote]
