A friend has a really untidy car. when they have given you a lift before the passenger well is so full of empty drinks bottles there is no where for anyones feet and you express how dangerous it is for a passenger getting in and out.
They know you are walking home from the station. They say they will come and give you a lift. You say no thanks I am almost home anyway. They say, i'm nearly there. They pull up around the corner when they see you and you get level with the car.
The door opens from inside and you pull the door open wide to see that the passenger well is full of empty plastic drinking water bottles and you wouldn't be able to stand on them or get in safely. The driver is not making any effort to move them.
You look down at the bottles , say 'I'll walk' .... and close the door of the car but hear the driver say , Are you sure? You finish your walk home which is only five more minutes.
Thoughts on each ......
I never said it was sexy

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
I'd tell them I need some space to get in and then stand there until they moved some debris.
The walk home from the station is easier; I'd just say that I need to stretch my legs after being on the train. Thanks for the offer, though.

My best friend's car is exactly like this. You'd think I was exagerrating if I tried to describe how bad it is! I just slag her rotten, suck it up and squeeze in where I can if she's doing me a favour driving me somewhere. If we were going a longer drive I'd just say that we need to clean it out a bit first and help her with it. |

"Sounds like onslow and daisy’s car 
It does.
Are there any thoughts on either person ?"
The person walking home, should ask the driver to wind down the window, so they can cling on to the door and still get a lift home.  |

"I think driving person should stop using plastic water bottles, don't they know there's a crisis on!? I think walking person should get in the back of the car and advise on single use plastic.  "
You 'think' too much |

This is true and it generally amounts to very little of consequence |

Neither of them is me. Do you mean the one in the car or the one who is walking ? |

OP, buy the "friend" a nice reusable drinks bottle as an early Christmas gift.
If you are the offending car driver, then you should carry out ritual self flagellation with a whip made from shredded single use plastic.
If it were me, I'd be declining most lifts because there'd need to be room for a rigid frame wheelchair too. Way too much faff! |

Would you move the bottles when you offered someone a lift though? |

I felt this occasion required a more formal tone.
