So last Sunday sidruid and I accompanied several of my family members to New Hope, which is a ride of about 45 minutes. And while on the way there we started talking, and it seemed that both of us had pretty much always sat on the same side in the backseat when we were younger, and that as adults, we still kind of do. I naturally gravitate towards the seat behind the driver, and he always sits behind the passenger. It's not like either of us kick others out, but... yeah. So take the poll, it's just like research for social sciences.


[Poll #350509]

ps. I'd like to wholeheartedly recommend the taco place near the train tracks in New Hope. Mmmm tasty!

I had no seat in the car as a child because we didn't have a car. My father died never having owned a car. He had a driver's license, but I think he let it expire around 1954. My mother learned to drive when I was about 20 and living 1700 miles away. :)

Now, I could tell you what part of the train or bus I sat in. As a child, I sat near the front of the bus because I used to get nauseous. I sat up front -- facing front -- and looked out of the driver's window. I got over it as I grew older.

When I was a teenager and taking the train by myself into Center City Philadelphia, I always sat in the train car where the conductor wasn't when I was getting on. I'd sit there and be in the middle of a book when the conductor came by, looking as if I paid. I never paid on the ride in. (On the ride home, well, everyone got on at the same place, more-or-less, so you had to show a ticket.) Oh, and this trick did not work with groups of teens. However, I never paid to ride into Philly as a teen. Neither did my friends when they rode solo. Yes, that's why SEPTA lost so much money in the '70s. ;)
