I do not mind in the slightest about giving my friends lift - it's what all friends do.
However it's the none driving friends that are starting to grate on me now. Friend text me every week to tell me to pick her up so she can come to the same exercise class as me - fine. But it rarely even gets a thank you, it's just expected every week that I will do it.
Which of course I will she's my friend, but it's the fact that it's not appreciated and its just expected now.
We decided as a group of friends to meet up at the weekend and a different friend announced "well if we are meeting at B's house then someone is going to have to give me a lift"
- Ok .... fair enough, how about asking politely would someone give you a lift rather than just expecting it?
