Pertinent facts are:
- I'm at work this afternoon. The job involves driving but has a clear start point.
- I'm working with someone else who doesn't drive, so she is in my car for the duration of the shift.
- The woman lives close to me, but not 'that' close. 2 and a half miles away from me or eight minutes drive (according to googlemaps)
- The start point is 7 miles away from me, and 7 miles from her.
- There are buses every fifteen minutes.
Sigh. So, I got a text - 'would you be able to pick me up please'
On the one hand, the weather is not great and it isn't far and blah blah.
But it's about half an hour extra if I count driving to hers, picking her up, then back again. Plus, I wanted to set off earlier to nip in to the supermarket which is en route.
The really unreasonable part though is that I just don't like her she isn't horrible or anything but irritating - yaps and yaps and asks endless questions that aren't meant awkwardly but are, and she is very entitled with lifts (the asking rather than telling is new.)
So - unreasonable to reply that I can't/won't, or mean spirited?
