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.
