I don't want to give my friend a ride to school. What should I tell him without being rude?
If you are between the ages of 16 and 20, blame it on your parents.. You can say they are concerned about your insurance risk, they don't approve of you riding passengers, the car isn't safe, the seats keep getting dirty, etc.,. You don't have to go into the "why's" because most parents make weird rules anyway. If that doesn't work, ask your passenger to split the price of gas on a weekly basis. Say that things are tight and that in order to keep driving, you need extra funds. He may pay his way a couple of times, but if he's a real moocher, he'll stop riding with you. The last thing is a bit sneaky, but it may work if the guy is lazy and you're okay with hanging around. Make up some excuse for why you have to be to school early - tutoring, going to the library early, etc.,. and tell him you can only pick him up at that time. Or you can makeup some reason to stay late. If he hates getting up or staying late, that would be another reason for him to get another ride. On the days, you don't want to be bothered use your excuse and when he's not looking, duck into your car and drive away.
My friend keeps asking for rides.?
Almost everyday she s asking me for a ride to school and then when schools almost over she asks me for a ride home. And occasionally to work. We go to the same school and work together and we re friends but it s an everyday thing, and she doesn t exactly live on the way. And she doesn t drive so if we ever make plans I m the one driving. She gives me gas money MAYBE every three months. But nothing near the amount of gas I waste driving her. How do I tell her no? She just asked me tonight for a ride and I said "I don t like driving in the snow. Can your aunt take you." And her response was "I wouldn t have asked you if I had another option" it just seems like she NEVER has another option, and now she s trying to guilt trip me when I ve never been obligated to give her rides anywhere.
Friend driving me to school?
I asked my friend if he could drive me to school and back home (not every day of the week, however). This is our senior year of high school. He lives about 3 miles down from me and he has to pass my house each day he drives to school (and my house isn't far in my subdivision at all so it's not like he's going to be wasting time or a lot of gas when he does drive me to school and back). Now, I was wondering what would be a fair amount of money to pitch in for him doing this. The parking ticket (per semester) is $165. Should I give him half of the parking ticket cost and how much money for gas? I don't know if he's planning to do it every day even though I told him he doesn't have to or what, but should I just throw in like maybe $25 for gas every few weeks? Suggestions please. Thank you!
If I hitch a ride home from college with my friend how much should I pay him?
Please keep friendship as friendship, this one is not that type of friendship for a jolly ride. He’s giving you a service (college to work … and back?) and you are taking advantage of that service. Nothing is free in this world.As a courtesy, it’s your duty to compensate him, at least compensate him 3/4 the fare of a taxi ride from your place to college, this is for the gas money only.What about his labor to come to your home and wait (waiting money) ? What about his wear and tear (tires)? What about his car insurance? Suppose, he gets into an accident (because of your behavior) you get hurt, he puts a claim with insurance company and gets awarded, will you let go of that awarded money? I guess not. So think about the big picture.Money do irreparable damage between blood relatives, this one is only a friendship.You like your friend, be reasonable and compensate him. There are many suggestions given to you by other honorable Quorans. Now act…Money talks, it makes a vehicle run, without it BS takes the walk.
A girl from high school class asks me to give her a ride home. What should I do?
DON’T DO ITUnless you actually know her well.But if you don’t….. just don’t do it.An appropriate excuse would be:“I would love to but my parents have a rule that I have to be home at x time”or“I have plans today but you should ask xyz. I believe that they can give you a ride.
Friends keep asking for ride? help please?
ok so when i first got my license, right away my friends keep asking for ride. And i said yeah, after like 3 weeks of droping them to school and making them leave their clothes for practice in my car i really got fed up. When my parents saw me giving ride to people they said don't ever give people ride again, because if the car crashes my parents don't want to be responsible for my friends. I told my friends that and they said its okay. But one of my other friends, even though i told him that i can't anymore because my parents don't want to be liable, every morning he textes me last minute asking for ride. Its really hard to say no so i let him ride with me for that day. I keep telling him that i cant but every morning he asks. im tired of being late for school because one of my firends is to lazy to ride bus. Even today i said just for today and he brought other people to ride with me, one of them didnt even ask for ride he just went in my car. Im really getting sick of my friends because they dont respect what my parents say...what should i do?
Is asking my girlfriend for gas money for driving her to work every day wrong?
Is asking my girlfriend for gas money for driving her to work every day wrong?This is a difficult question to answer as so much depends upon your views in respect of relationships and equality and what your personal situation is in terms of how long you’ve been together and your financial situation.It feels like 300 years since I was last in a “dating” situation where this problem might arise, but I can bring a parallel situation to the mix.When I buy someone a drink in a pub, I do so without expecting to be bought one in return.Now, in the UK at least, most of the time the other person(s) will buy one back, but I never expect them to do so. In short, when I buy someone a drink, I do so because I want to, because I’m enjoying that person’s company and it’s a small gesture that indicates that enjoyment.So, why are you driving your girlfriend to work? If it’s because you love her and you’re happy to do things for her, I’d suggest asking for gas money should never enter you mind (I’m assuming here that you’re not driving 400 miles across country every day). If doing it seems to be a chore, and it’s causing you mental anguish over how much it costs, I would have to ask how stable your relationship is…
