It’s a total stranger.
Trying to find a restaurant where an aggressive vegan and a person following a paleo diet can both eat will be damn near impossible. We’d both go hungry for days. I’ll take the pregnant lady. Nothing a call to 911 can’t handle.
I chose Vegan and this is why. I think the last half of the trip after their stroke would be nice and quiet.
No. he’s not. He’s going to shut the fuck up, and hope I don’t hurt him. I can be very…unapproachable…when I choose to be.
I’ve been Extremely Pregnant a few times myself, and I could deal with a roadside delivery. I have to pee a lot too so that’s no problem 
I couldn’t deal with an evangelist of any variety, though.
Vegan. I wouldn’t feel the least bit guilty about kicking a vegan out the passenger door at 83mph. Plus, I would be morally compelled to eat a bacon-cheeseburger every 100 miles or so. Win-win.
Some of you may be missing the point of the question.
You don’t get to kick them out or leave them on the side of the road. You both have to make it to Miami, unharmed.
I’ll take the vegan. Nothing against pregnant women, but I’d rather not take the chance of her going into labor as we’re in the middle of nowhere someplace. As for the vegan, they’ve chosen that lifestyle, so they can figure out what they 're going to eat as we stop along the way
Hey I can’t be held responsible for his medical issues. If he strokes out MAYBE he should have been eating better and taking care of himself!
I am picturing a long stretch of road in the south, where the closest thing to a vegetarian meal (let alone vegan) is a iceberg salad, often with chicken in it.
Pregnant woman. I can’t even comprehend people who would pick the other one. I could have a mean, obnoxious passenger, or someone who might end up being a wonderfully pleasant conversationalist who happens to be pregnant.
Which brings us back to that whole shutting the fuck up thing. I will be making it to Miami. Driving. He might not. Or he might find his ass riding in the trunk. You completely ignore the reality of dealing with a large and angry male that simply is not going to put up with his bullshit.
Define “unharmed.” I mean, if I punch the vegan in the face, he’ll be okay. Do I get to punch him a lot? Otherwise, please give me the pregnant woman.
Pregnant woman, she’s got a probability of being a pain but the vegan is a pain for sure. And there is a probability that the vegan has recently been to Germany and got E. Coli of Doom which is still incubating…
I’ve travelled while heavily pregnant and it’s not pleasant. Between the many many bathroom stops and not being comfortable staying in one position for very long it’s not a fun situation. And I’d feel mean being a bitch to a pregnant woman.
I did assume however that I wanted to get to Miami in a hurry. If I had all the time in the world I would probably change to the pregnant lady.
No.
The point here is who would you rather have to put up with/deal with for an extended period of time in an enclosed place? If the road trip part of the question is messing people up, you can think of it as being trapped in an elevator or a bank vault or a submarine. It doesn’t matter. That’s not the important part of the question.
Heh, I got the point. Just making ha-ha by suggesting the only way I’d want to be trapped with an aggressive vegan is if I got to put my fists on him repeatedly. Seriously now, I’d rather go on a road trip with a woman going into labor right now than drive to the other side of town with an obnoxious vegan. This is a no-brainer.
Uh…that’s very different. Presumably if I am traveling with the pregnant woman I can, eventually, get her to the hospital or even a clinic or a freakin hotel and chances are high I can get her there BEFORE she pops. In an elevator? I am stuck delivering this rugrat, with whatever I have around me. All I can say is, she better name the kid after me, even if it is a boy.
Yeah, that’s pretty much the way I see it.
I’d still pick the vegan over the pregnant woman. I don’t care how aggressive they are about their beliefs - they’re wrong and I will take great pleasure in taunting them about that every mile of the way. The car will stop to eat only where there is no vegetarian option, and I will enjoy being very carnivorous in their presence.
