Well, this post isn't born of any angering-yet-humourous incident, but I simply thought I would pass along some more information; this time on transportation etiquette. While this whole site is helpful (and it's book makes a great gift for the elected chauffer in your life), I would like to point out the most important rule in the history of mankind:
The Balk
This rule is applied when you have called Shotgun and are waiting for the doors to be unlocked. If you lift the handle while the doors are being unlocked and therefore cause the Shotgun door to remain locked, then you are "voided" for that ride. At this time Shotgun is available for all of the other passengers to call.
By working to avoid The Balk we can all help to prevent curb-stomping incidents.
