vanpool etiquette training

We got an email from Valerie, our vanpool coordinator, today informing us that we have to have a training on Monday to go over the role & responsibilities of sitting in the co-pilot seat, driver responsibilities, and other issues of proper vanpool etiquette. It also included an apology to Tony for leaving him behind as well as the following statement: "To say I’m a little concerned about this is an understatement of gargantuan proportions."

This guilt trip would irritate me less if the lesson on proper vanpool etiquette included the following:
  • After about 10 minutes into the drive, shut the hell up. No one cares about whatever it is you're talking about.
  • Take off your jacket before you ask for them to turn off the heat/on the air conditioner

Since I doubt that it will, in fact, cover those points I reserve my right to complain about this training in a future post.

You should take over the vanpool coordinator position in a coup, then you could enforce your own superior etiquette.
