1) You have to constantly watch the loads the entire way so that your friends don't get stuck.
2) You have to continually lecture your friends about why they can't wear sandals, shorts, etc.
3) They don't understand how the system works, so they get irritated with you when they get left behind on a flight.
4) In addition to the pass travel fees, I get an additional $35 bucks (roughly) taken out of my paycheck in pass travel taxes--MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THIS.

Now I can honestly tell them that it is cheaper to just buy their own ticket...SO LEAVE ME ALONE!
I just never offered... no I have none, you don't want to use them is a good response, then I explain why.
