🎙️ Episode Description: Courtesy Counts: Respecting the Driver
In this candid conversation, Key and Tea unpack the importance of showing courtesy to the person who steps up to drive — especially when the trip involves long miles, tolls, and paid parking. Inspired by a recent experience where a friend left the driver hanging after she generously offered to take everyone to a birthday dinner in New York City, they explore why respect and gratitude matter in friendships and group outings.
With humor and honesty, they discuss:
• 🚗 The Hidden Costs of Driving: Gas, tolls, parking, and the mental load of navigating city traffic.
• 🤝 Courtesy & Respect: Why acknowledging the driver’s effort is more than just good manners — it’s about valuing relationships.
• 🎉 The NYC Story: How one friend’s lack of consideration became a lesson in boundaries and expectations.
• 💡 Takeaway Wisdom: Practical tips for being a better passenger and showing appreciation when someone offers to drive.
This episode is about more than transportation — it’s about friendship, accountability, and the small acts of kindness that keep relationships strong.
