Once, when I was 18, I went to an anime convention the next state over. I drove 3 friends and we shared a hotel room. We took lightrail into the city, but found that it was unreliable, so at the end of the night, we decided to try to hitch a ride with an acquaintance back to the hotel. He had a car which seated 5, so it was him, his sister, 3 of us, and then the last friend would take a cab.
This 24 year old called his mom to ask if it was okay if he drove some people in his car. A car that he owned. His mom said he could drive one person.
We said "nevermind, dude, we'll just all take a cab". This was 2013.
I am shocked that happened in 2013. In high school our soliton to not enough seats was to have people get in the trunk. I couldn’t imagine at 24, calling mom to ask if it was okay to drive other people. At 24 you’re an adult with a job, apartment, etc.
