I guess we just have a fundamental disagreement on you saying “your job is done, it’s time for the parent to go away now” when dropping off their kid for their first day at college. In my experience there is still plenty of parenting that should be done after that point, and most new freshmen have a different mindset…

In my opinion, answering “I’m not sure how that’s any of your business” is much more obnoxious than asking any of these questions in the first place. This is a parent and a child, it’s a different relationship than the “friend/relative/peer” that you mention later, and parents SHOULD be asking personal questions. It’s…
I really don’t understand your thought process. You say “if it’s outside your comfort zone, then don’t pay.” But if they don’t ASK the question in the first place how will they make that decision? These are all good basic questions to make sure that the parent and child are on the same page when it comes to college,…
The questions outlined in this post essentially ARE the “business arrangements...negotiated on a case by case basis” that you say the parent and child should be doing.

My rule about being shitty to ANYONE includes people who are “beneath” you and at the same level. It’s a better rule because it holds people up to a higher standard.
Again, I’d say the way you treat ANYONE says a lot about you as a person. Why would it be more acceptable to be a jerk to someone who isn’t serving you?
How about just being shitty to anyone?
Yes? Where does it say that it wouldn’t?
Again, you’re focusing way more on the term “ridesharing” than anyone else, including Uber or Lyft. Take a look at their own website and tell me how many times you see that term.
You’re misunderstanding what “ridesharing” means. The Uber/Lyft driver isn’t “sharing a ride,” they are driving other people.
Obviously.
Why shouldn’t the charge also factor in the driver’s time?
Such a bold prediction.
How tall are those ceilings? Maybe it’s just the angle of the photo, but I feel like I would get pretty claustrophobic in there.
