Seriously disappointed...

[kylieaynk]

I posted up several times about carpooling with someone to Stagecoach from San Diego and literally no one has reached out to help me. I am just shocked... I am going to Coachella the weekend prior and literally had tons of people reach out to help me.

I'm from Missouri and I'm working at the Stagecoach festival. I'm in college and I'm taking a bus down to California. I am staying in San Diego between festivals. I'd rather avoid paying for another bus ticket to Indio and rather just throw in on gas with someone heading into the area.

I need to be there on friday at a decent time, but I wouldn't mind going earlier. Is anyone going to reach out to offer?

I'll check my posts on here still, but if you want to shoot me an email kylieaynk@yahoo.com

[WestCoastLady]

I'm sure I speak for most of us San Diegans - our plans aren't totally firmed up yet and I'm not sure who has room in their cars for an extra person...

This board has some of the most wonderful and caring people you'll find - maybe we're all a little distracted and still trying to make our plans.

Traffic on the forum will pick up noticeably in the next week or so - by the week before the event, you won't be able to keep up!

Have faith - we'll get you there, one way or another ;)

[calichristina]

i would.. but im not from san deigo... nor am i drivin from there...
woohoo.... stagecoach RocKS!

[UKNOWME]

IF I LIVED IN SD I WOULD HELP BUT IM IN THE IE AND IM GOING UP THURSDAY

wow, nice way to ensure no one gives you a ride...really classy...err bitchy. my advice? start walkin' on tuesday. and sorry you couldn't nail down plans in 6 whole days on a pretty quiet message board, you entitled brat.

oh hey, is this you?

Hey Cooter...you nailed it!

[abra]

it was so pushy i started to picture a Ted Bundy type sitting behind the keyboard desperate for prey... entitled brat is seems kinder.

[festivalfan]

Cooter...right on!... It is not everybody elses responsibility to provide transportation to and from a job. What nerve to bash the people on this board for not "reaching out". AND who in the heck would even offer now?? geesh, what a wing-nut.

[jillyBean]

lol... one can short of a 6 pack....
or better yet.... the wheel's spinnin.. but the hamsters dead....
lol

[Rose]

Maybe you should check out the thread....leaving from SD for SC2010. People have already been talking about carpooling. I know nothing about SD (except the zoo and sea world) and I think they are taking about hooking up at Wally World parking lot. I sure hope you don't have one of those security jobs doing nothing but bitchin at folks....can I say kettle meet lid?

P.S. Sorry security people....I've met nothing but nice people at SC.

[tgcali]

Glad it wasn't just me. Decided I wasn't gonna say anything, just in case it was.

Don't tell me what I should/have to do. No offers? No offers. Find your own ride to work. I for one will not even consider taking a stranger in the car with my 13 year old daughter and I. Deal.

[IheartMillerLite]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there is a whole thread called Carpooling from SD to SC...maybe you should check that out.

[WestCoastLady]

I'd rather avoid paying for another bus ticket to Indio and rather just throw in on gas with someone heading into the area.


This was the part that confused me - if the Coachella peeps were all over volunteering to give her a ride, why would she need to buy ANOTHER bus ticket TO Indio???

And, yeah, one of those FIVE posts she made was in the SD to SC thread...so she knew about all the plans that were flying around :)

[Countrygurl]

This was the part that confused me - if the Coachella peeps were all over volunteering to give her a ride, why would she need to buy ANOTHER bus ticket TO Indio???

because stagecoach is another festival so she would need another way to it. she mentioned she was staying in san diego in between the festivals. probably the coachella people giving her a ride are not attending stagecoach

[WestCoastLady]

I understand all that :) I just don't understand the "another bus ticket to Indio" line - implying that she has already bought one bus ticket to go to Coachella....and if the Coachella peeps were falling all over themselves to help her out with a ride - why would she need to have bought a bus ticket in the first place?

Oh the tangled web we weave....lol

[Countrygurl]

maybe she meant from the bus station?

[UKNOWME]

I BELIEVE SHE TOOK A BUS TO SD FROM WHERE EVER IT WAS SHE IS FROM AND DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE TO TAKE ONE TO SC AND HAS ALREADY FOUND A RIDE TO COCHELLA

[xniecex]

....and.... who's going to want to lend a helping hand to someone that bitches on first greeting. i sure as hell wouldn't. how long is that drive from SD to indio?!!! to be stuck in a car with a bitcher.. whew... sounds fun but most would pass!

[kylieaynk]

This was not my first post, and I'm not being a bitch.

I bought a bus ticket to Indio from Missouri and people from the coachella are giving me a ride from the bus terminal and giving me a ride back to San Diego.

I have posted in the SD thread, but no one responded.

I am not saying I'm entitled or that anyone has to give me a ride because that isn't the case. My point in writing this is that I have heard nothing but nice things about the people that attend Stagecoach and have been assured I will enjoy my time off at the festival even though I will be attending alone. In the spirit of the festival, I don't understand why anyone with the capability wouldn't reach out to help. I'm asking for a ride from a place where you already live and I'm going to help pay for gas.

[Kymery]

Kylie, A reason I would not reach out, is that I don't know you from Adam. Many people are generous in helping in many ways. It will take a specific type of person to reach out to a stranger for a ride, and not have reservations on who they are. NOT saying you are a stalker, rapist, or even a murderer...etc etc..just saying you NEVER know. I would never put myself in that position, unless I completely knew them, or was re-assured from a friend who this person is. I understand you posted on the SC post, but I feel you didn't even give it time before you were upset that no one offered. Put out another kind, polite post and I am sure there is someone that will offer you assistance from point A to point B. SC fans are awesome fans. Just read all the posts on this site...proves it very very clear. Be patient and understanding of peoples concerns for putting someone next to them in a vehicle for a ride.

[socalcountrygrl]

A Lot Of Posts About One Person Catching A Ride To SC...???

[kylieaynk]

I posted over a month ago and it was extremely polite.
I have a facebook, I am willing to chat on the phone with someone or skype.
I am just a college student trying to scrap together a way for me to attend these amazing music festivals with a tight budget. I figured people may be sympathetic with that fact. After all, in the same shoes... wouldn't you all like to be helped?

[WestCoastLady]

Kylieaynk,

PM me here with your FB screen name and I'll friend you....

I can't commit to giving you a ride as I don't know how much room we are going to have left in my car.

These messages boards will become much busier as the days tick off ~ I'm sure that many more people from San Diego will see your post in the coming days and you'll be able to find a ride....

Think positive!

Kylie, I have to agree with Kymery. I couldn't put a stranger in my car no matter if they seemed ok or not. I don't even live near SD so none of this matters, lol. But there were about 5 people in the SD post if I'm correct, ALL of them KNOW each other (and we are all RVing together) and you don't know their situations (2-3 people + TONS of camping stuff = no room). Like the pp said, in the coming weeks this board will take off like crazy, be patient, somebody may offer you a ride. Have a back-up plan just in case though. it's not that we aren't great, generous people (the people I've met on these boards have become some of my greatest, most giving friends ever) we just may be a little more cautious. Good luck to you.

[IheartMillerLite]

I agree with Kymery too. It's not that we're not generous...but I wouldn't put a stranger in my car no matter how nice they seem. Even last year when we made plans with virtual strangers to camp near each other, we didn't all ride in each others cars. We met at a public place and caravaned in. Once I spent the whole weekend with them and many other concerts together do I now call them friends. And Chev is right, they are some of the most awesome friends now. But I wouldn't have put Chev in my car before meeting her last year. hahahahaa.

As for the comment that you posted a month ago....not that many people were posting an planning away. More people join and post as it gets closer....

[gogoracer]

If I may stray from the topic.... I have followed this message board since 08 but just recently started posting this year. It is actually reassuring that everyone is hesitant to open their cars to a stranger. If anything it shows you are all reasonable smart people that like to have fun AND be somewhat responsible. Yay, you pass the normal test!!!:)

[IheartMillerLite]

We're crazy, but not THAT crazy!! Glad you started posting!

Normal crazy good....other crazy bad.

My co-worker is talking to me and all I hear is blah blah blah! Can't focus on anything he's saying. I can only concentrate on all the things I need to do for SC
-Find Beer on sale
-buy beer on sale
-pack beer in trailer

[Raquellita]

I would take you along with me since I'm driving alone but I live in Diamond Bar and i'd have to backtrack 2 hours. HOWEVER.....if you can get a ride to Diamond Bar I'll gladly give you a ride to the festival and bring you back.

[tgcali]

Beer?


Somebody said beer. I heard it. I did. Wait, we're supposed to be 'normal' too. Wonder what that means......maybe it means I should stop talking to myself. Nah, that couldn't be it. Oh well, where was I? Oh yeah.


Beer?

[tgcali]

Oh yeah, I forgot.


Racer it's about time you chimed in! Glad to have ya!!

[kylieaynk]

Well, at least I have gotten some sort of response from everyone. I literally felt ignored before.

[hodgee5]

BEER!!!

Here's an Idea why not just stay in Indio then you won't have to worry about a ride. BTW I don't give rides to strangers, maybe if you had a better attitude people would be more willing to help.

[Chevgirl357]

Well this pretty much sealed the deal here I would think....

[kylieaynk]

Well this pretty much sealed the deal here I would think....

What do you even mean? I came in here and posted and tried to find a ride and this is the first time that I was even acknowledged. I didn't come in here to be berated and picked on. I simply asked if someone had some spare room. I do admit that what I said was pretty blunt, but it was worded incorrectly. I am not being confrontational or nasty to anyone in here, so I'd appreciate the same respect.

Hmmmmm I offered you a ride if you can get at least as far as Diamond Bar and you never responded. Remember?

I think this part <<I do admit that what I said was pretty blunt, but it was worded incorrectly.>> is the main problem. No, you probably didn't MEAN for it to come across as blunt, or rude, or demanding. But sometimes things just come across online a totally different way than they would if you were saying it in person.

<<so I'd appreciate the same respect.>> Which we all deserve. But, again, this comes across as sounding a little bit demanding and said with attitude. (Again - might not be the way you INTENDED it to sound!) My advice would be apologize for things coming across the wrong way, understand that most of us "normal" people would not be willing to give a ride to a complete stranger, move on, and get a fresh start to your SC message board experience! :)

It might not feel this way to YOU right now, but honestly the people on here are freakin great!

[IheartMillerLite]

Kylie...you said you posted several times about needing a ride. I looked at your older posts. None were ones you started yourself. Your message about needing a ride was thrown in the middle of people having a conversation already so they probably just skipped over it. Also, someone else needed a camping spot and you offered to swap part of your space for a ride....so why would people think you still need help? Then you post the "seriously disappointed" thread. Maybe if you had started one yourself mentioning the willing to trade some camping space or ride people would've been more inclined to help. Again, most people don't want strangers hitching a ride with them....just saying.

[tgcali]

You and me both. We're waiting..........

I said beer again :p

[Cooter]

me? if me, then probably not. 3 days of Coachella will probably be it for me this year, will most likely be dealing with some health stuff the week after that will keep me out of commission for a bit...thanks for the offer, though (if it was indeed directed towards me) ;)

LOL, yes it was directed at YOU! Slacker, you need to be a SC not Coachella (if you have to pick one or the other). But hope it's nothin too serious on the health issues.

[unclefeiny]

You feel ignored? If people don't live near you, don't have room to add someone to their car, or don't want to have someone in their car they don't know, what do you want them to do? I live in LA and wouldn't want someone I've never met in the car, am I still supposed to respond to you wishing you the best of luck on your journey?

If I read something on here that doesn't apply to me, I don't respond and I'm guessing most other people on here are the same way. Nobody WAS shunning you, your request just didn't apply to the people that were reading it.

Lemon Drops....Yummmmm :) Memories :rolleyes:

[HonkeyTonker]

OK. well, I'm sorry for the slander in this post. My friends get a bit testy with strangers. but once they know you they begin to open up. only problem is you have 10 posts and we dont really know who you are. I could possibly give you a ride up, but not back. send me a private message (PM) with details about who you are: facebook, age, name, what school you go to, etc. etc. That is if you still need a ride. you most likely found a ride for coachella b/c typically coachella is full of stoners as stagecoach, drunks. if your security you'll see very quickly what i mean.... anyhoo. please pm me and id be happy to consider helping

[WestCoastLady]

Awww, that's our HT! Such a nice guy!!!

Lemon Drops....Yummmmm :) Memories :rolleyes:

gosh darn.... what a hoot.. yup, the best memories. I'll touch base with Angie again about those lemon drops. funny they never taste as good at a bar as they do at SC !

Then you shouldn't have named the thread "seriously disappointed". Doesn't exactly start you off on the right foot with people who you are ASKING TO DO YOU A FAVOR. And news flash, this is not a PAID service...we don't owe you anything!! And if you are disappointed that people won't allow a STRANGER into their car then I question your judgement.
