Proper etiquette when waiting for a ride indicates that one should not inconvenience the driver. Traditionally, one would wait outside, but modern technology allows for communication without standing in inclement weather. It's advised that even a teenager should check their phone for updates instead of expecting the driver to come indoors. In friendships affected by new romantic relationships, patience is key as priorities and conversations can shift over time. Navigating these changes may require understanding rather than confrontation.
The rule has always been, and continues to be, not to inconvenience someone doing you a favor in this case, the driver. How that is accomplished has been changed by the appearance of such things as cellular telephones, so that it is no longer necessary to huddle under the nearest overhang in the rain, squinting at approaching headlights.
As for the volume and intensity of your friend’s conversations about her boyfriend, be patient. Relationships go through distinct phases and your friend's priorities might shift again.
