Significant-others automatically riding shotgun.
I will be there after he or she is disposed of. Equality among those you are close to.

aw poor Biffy, scrunched in the back. It's up to the Other though, don't you think?
— Stu
Sure, it's up to the Other, but it bugs me that the Other isn't more my Other than the other's Other.
— Biffy
Oh I hate that especially if I am a guest and they are showing me around town. I flew in! I came 3,000 miles to come see you. Let me have the front.
— M.E.
When presented with the option of significant other shotgun status, I always offer the best seat to the least frequent rider. I think it's only fair. Also, the Other MUST take the initiative here or else everyone feels weird.

As a chick, I must admit that I kind of hate when my man is driving and his male friend is in the front. This is how it usually goes down: if I'm already riding shotgun when we pick the Other up, the Other gets the back if it's a 4 door car. If it's a 2 door, I'll switch to the back. If the Other MY friend (and not the driver's), he/she gets the back no matter what.

I mistakenly referred to the guest-passenger as the Other. Biffy and Stu, you refer to the driver as the other, right?
— Tinky
"The Other" refers to the significant other, so you're right in your correction.
— Biffy
In the game of Shotgun, all shout-outs are void if the significant other to the driver is present. The SO automatically gets it (but has the choice to waiver the right). http://www.shotgunrules.com/ - at the end, under Exceptions. My personal rule: Though, if the SO does not give up their seat for a visiting friend (who probably had to fly in to visit) - they are automatically deemed a douche and you no longer have to be nice to them.
