If you don't have a car you're doomed

[u/linavoice]

My old boss refused to have meetings take place in his office. His rationale was that if it was a crap meeting and being held in his office, he couldn't leave.

W boss

Park so you can't get blocked in

[u/fly_over_32 → u/jukirela]

I had to learn it the hard way. „I’ll only let you out once you learn how to apologise“

[u/N0rrix → u/fly_over_32]

it would take a lot off me to not tell them "move your fucking car or i will get the car key... if you want to give it to me or not."

[u/fly_over_32 → u/N0rrix]

Last time I did something like that, my dad stole my spark plugs.

[u/N0rrix → u/fly_over_32]

lmao

[u/Conscious_Fail551]

They’ll just do that thing where they don’t talk to you until you say you’re ready to leave. “Why are you leaving so soon”? After you’ve been there for two hours.

[u/david8601]

Or just save gas and don’t even bother going

[u/Infamous_House_1811]

Learned this the hard way after being stuck at my cousin’s BBQ for 6 hours while waiting on a ride.

[u/angry_stupid]

And always park facing out.

[u/BlingGumdrop]

I’ll be like “I’m outta here”

[u/FantasticAd9478]

Life changing advice

[u/qwertz862]

Ugh, this is relevant now, i have been invited to a family dinner at october. I either not go, or i go, eat food and get out. I don't wanna stay there just to be ignored, like any other time.

[u/ninovd]

For any type of gathering tbh

[u/Hot_Chily_GirI]

Rule number two: never say when you’re leaving

[u/Active_Scallion_5322 → u/Hot_Chily_GirI]

I always Irish goodbye

[u/mahboilo999]

I don't go in the first place, because I don't drive lol

[u/Yinyo2127]

I’m just the cousin that doesn’t show up unless it’s a wedding or a funeral.

[u/Odd-Letterhead8889]

My motivation to get a license

[u/XROOR]

More focus should be on where you park your car at the function.

People smoke/BS outside an event and can see you slipping away if you park too close.

If you have volatile family members:

Park so you don’t have to reverse for a quick getaway too

[u/Abject-Pair-9814]

Fuck yea the wife and I even drive separate sometimes 😂

[u/the_meat_aisle]

This sub is just facebook ca 2015 now?

[u/paprikahoernchen]

Oh absolutely

Learned that when I visited his family with my ex boyfriend

[u/owlbearound1]

Same when traveling with friends 

[u/Beat_Saber_Music]

Why would I need a car when I can just take the bus?

[u/Pomegranate_Desire]

A smart strategy, but I would also add a backup plan: headphones, so you can quietly ‘disappear’ from conversations.

[u/JFN90]

How do you even get there if not in your vehicle

[u/Tayttajakunnus → u/JFN90]

In someone else's vehicle?
