I must be getting old but I just can’t stand that bs anymore.
And you aren’t even giving genuinely needed help, you’re a convenience and that’s different.
They can walk or get a bus or get uber. Asking for a lift , I can’t even imagine it. Unless it’s hospital and even then I would expect them to make an effort.
Exactly, I never ask anyone for a lift because I always feel so bad. But these people have absolutely no problem doing so. As a child, my mum was very paranoid about safety and was a SAHM so I had the privilege of being driven around, and expected that I was meant to do the same thing for others.
I know people aren’t raised the same way, and not everyone has the same level of agreeableness. It still just baffles me.
hmmm, that all sounds a bit like emotionally manipulative bullshit on their part.
Politely decline and see what happens.
She’s manipulative just like her ex was. I will not be driving her anymore. The other friend is also a user.

Good for you! I’ve let people use me in the past and it wasted a lot of my time and energy for nothing.
Less than nothing actually. Because they actively made my life worse.
Gosh that’s horrible. I guess if anything, it goes to show that you have a kind heart.
That’s nice of you to say :) I’ve definitely learned to be more selective about who I let into my life.
No lesson is easy I guess.
Nothing wrong with a kind heart just be careful. 😘
Absolutely
