[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is the only region I have ever lived in where people seem to really push back against picking guests up. So I think it's regional vs an age thing. Or maybe people in DC are just less kind than elsewhere.[/quote]

It's a city thing. You don't expect relatives in NYC to pick you up at the airport. [/quote]

Well, I've mostly lived in cities, so, no. Unless you think the only cities in America are NYC and DC. [/quote]

Well, many American cities are not all that city-like.  I'm sure it's NBD to drive to the airport to get someone in Phoenix or whatever, but in dense cities with crazy traffic where a lot of people don't own cars and cabs/ubers are cheap and plentiful, the expectations are different.[/quote]

If you're complaining about how much a cab ride costs each way, you shouldn't be living in such an expensive city.

That's just common sense and not a good excuse.

What? I'm saying that cabs in cities like NYC are cheaper.  So it makes more sense to just use one, rather than make your host fight hideous traffic to come get you[/quote]
