AIBU to expect that when I drove a car full of people (adults) on a 200 mile trip to a theme park at least one person would offer me some money for petrol? Or am I being a moody cow?
The theme park (Oakwood in Pembrokeshire) is completely inacessable by public transport there was even a conversation on the way there about how if I wasn't driving we would have had to get a train and the taxi from the nearest station is £45. I am the only person in the group who has a car so I felt I had to offer to drive, and I wouldn't mind at all if someone had said thanks or given me some petrol money. TBH i couldn't afford to go to the theme park at all but made the effort because it was my friend's 30th birthday and had someone else driven I certainly would have offered the person driving some money.
We had a really nice day and there is talk of going to thorpe park next month, which I would like to go but I think the assumption is that I'll drive again. They are usually a lovely group of friends so I don't know if I'm just over reacting. I hate confrontation so should I just let it all go?
