Slugging
Posted by AdamT | Filed under Comedy, Uncategorized
Every now and then a trend arises that is considered revolutionary. Hitchhiking in the seventies, Ride-Sharing in the nineties, and now Slugging.
When a commuter (Slug) in DC does not want to ride public transit, or to drive, they may wait at a set location where they will be propositioned by a person in a car. The driver usually wishes to get another body into the car so that they can drive in the HOV lane. The offer will be a destination only, and the commuter will get into the vehicle of the person going his way. Born of an encounter of cheapness with poor planning; this trend has risen and developed its own fratish rules.
Rule #1 Slugs do not talk.
This seems to be based on the wafer of immediacy. One outbreak of whooping cough and you might end up with a whole line of slugs looking for new jobs. One savvy molester, and you will see the slugs break rank and run. This appears to be more delicate than Facebook or Myspace, it’s best defense is camouflage.
For all my slugging friends: Be careful not to bank your livelihood, and sanctity, on a savings of $1.25.
