I once had a massive argument with a cow of an ex-girlfriend of mine about this :lol:
We got a taxi from the station to our house. I sat in the front, she sat in the back. She says that it's really rude to leave her alone in the back, and etiquette decrees as her other half, I should sit inthe back with her.
Apparently, etiquette also decrees you're not allowed to respond with "yeah, but I see you all the time, I don't get to sit next to the taxi driver and chat to him very often - you I have to put up with every day". Who knew?
I sit in the front
