Having argued of the rules of calling 'shotgun' for years, I was thrilled to find The Official Shotgun Rules online. At long last, of man's most disputed topics will be carved in stone. And note that when I say 'man', I mean man, not mankind. For some reason, I don't see a lot of you ladies arguing the merits of somebody's shotgun call. I do, however, see guys bitching about a bad call for days after the fact.

My favorite rule was The Balk:

This rule is applied when you have called Shotgun and are waiting for the doors to be unlocked. If you lift the handle while the doors are being unlocked and therefore cause the Shotgun door to remain locked, then you are 'voided' for that ride. At this time Shotgun is available for all of the other passengers to call.
