We often want to be helpful. Suddenly you have a flux of friends and neighbors asking you for car rides, never offering gas money. Every time you give someone a ride, you are putting extra mileage on your vehicle. Even gas money won't pay to replace a worn auto part.

+4And they do the same for me. It's usually when there is a car at the mechanic. People help each other. I would not; however, allow myself to be taken advantage of by a freeloader.

reply - Seonag 2012/07/15 15:36:39I DO GIVE FREE RIDES SOMETIMES.+2When I do, or we carpool somewhere, my friends usually offer to buy the gas since it's my car getting the wear and tear. Sometimes I accept, sometimes I don't --- depends on the situation!reply
-
+1Too often some friends act as if you owe them a free car ride.reply

reply - classic strawberry 2012/07/24 13:34:11Well I get suspicious of their motives, if it just so happens I am going their way everytime I go someplace.... Got one up the street,, He will wait untill I am backing out of my drive, run up with his gas can and ask me to take him by the gas station so he can get gas for his mower... He does this everytime he need gas for his mower... I got to where I told him, I am not going that way...reply

+1So you would not make a special trip.?reply
