Don't Talk, EAT! grrrr

I was able to have a sim drive his son to school after missing the bus.
I wish there was a way to get rid of the carpool if two or more sims in the household are in the same career at the same level. I have 2 brothers and a father living together, all are Hall of Famers (I planned it that way before NL to decrease the number of carpools to the lot), and, although there is the option for the sim who owns the car to "carpool to work with all eligible sims", I have to click that option daily and it only shows up when the carpool is already on the lot. Kind of pointless.

Actually, you can go to work HOURS late. I think the result of being late though is the same as missing a day of work, you get the same pop up about your job performance. I'm guessing, that if you're late two days in a row you get fired just like if you miss two days of work in a row.
Incidentally, I agree totally about the slow eating because of all the talking. And the "ba ba ba ba" music. I like all the rest of the NL music except that, it drives me bats!
Another thing, how in the world do you call somebody to as them to go downtown if it's just a friend - apparently "DATE" is always a romantic thing. Last night I wanted a guy to call his mother and ask her downtown for lunch. I couldn't figure out how to do this except to call a taxi with "invite Sim to a community lot", but I didn't want that, I wanted him to drive his own car. The only possible way I could come up with was to pick up the phone, "manage groups", and create a group of just her. It worked but that seems rather ridiculous, why can't you just "ask sim on an outing" the same way you can "ask sim on a date"?

you can. When clicking on a sim, in the Ask option you will see the "ask to form a group outing" option. This will make that sim join you in a outing. then you get in the car and go downtown

Is there this option on the car? i have never seen it. it only shows up when the carpool is aready on the lot?
i will test it out later today, however for what you have said, i think i understand that. "eligible sims" must be sims wich have less than 1 hour to get to work or that have already passed their work start hour.
So if you have 2 sims that have to go to work in the same time, one of them will be owning the car, so no carpool for him, and the other one will have the carpool waiting for him. however you can send them both in the car if you wish. and the carpool will be wasted.
However if you have 2 cars and each of those sims own one, no carpool will come, however you will still be able to send them both to work in one car only, and the other one will be avaiable.
But yeah, someone should make a hack that will disable the carpool for all sims that will go to work at the same time, if there is a sim who owns the car
miramis:
Pearl, have your sim go downtown and use his mobile to invite his mother there, this works like a charm for me.
Venusy:
According to the Prima guide, if a sim is late for work three days in a row they get demoted. It's hardly the most trustworthy source, but seen as I don't have the game the guide is my only source of NL info.
