Cf or am I being nasty.

[Gouldengirl9]

Next week 5 of us are meeting up.
We have a group chat.
I posted the time and place at the same time as one of the non drivers asked for a lift.
I live the furthest way.
She then came back and said thank you so much for picking me up.
I hadn't mentioned in my post about picking her up.
Am I being nasty in saying that I can't pick you up as it means going past the place we are going by another 2 miles.
She lives nearer to one of the other ladies but she hasn't offered.

She doesn't drive because she was banned for drink driving about 10 years ago and decided that she wouldn't get a car again.

Well if the 'for the sake of 2 miles' applies to OP can it not apply to the friend as well? Surely she can get herself 2 miles without putting someone else out?

It doesn’t matter if it’s 2 miles or 20 miles-I’d do it for a friend who bothered to ask me properly.

She has not.

I honestly don’t have one friend who I can imagine saying that. My friends are not CF though.

She honestly can’t walk two miles? It would take me about twenty minutes. Is it two miles of motorway or something?

All the pp saying “it’s only 2 miles, she can walk it” have probably never walked anywhere a day in their life.

Tell her you're not driving as you want to be able to drink. I wouldn't drive for this reason if having a meet up.

Why are you choosing to spending time / go out with someone you're not prepared to go 2 miles out of your way for??! Wow.

petty as anything.

It’s your mate. It’s 2 miles!!! .....???!?

FFS. Pick her up. I don't think I would want you as a friend if you treat people like this.

I would drive 10,000 miles for my friends.

I wouldn't walk two miles where I live or expect anyone to. It's rural and PITCH BLACK when it gets dark. No pavements or street lights. Just long grass verges and hedges. Scary and dangerous AF.

Yeah and those saying just pick her up navigating a one way system are either none drivers or complete CFs themselves

It IS only 2 miles. It's bugger all in walking terms

Me neither. Taking the car is a right PITA for social stuff

2 miles 🤣 Jesus Christ... if this is what constitutes a CF in your book then you're very lucky!

2 miles?? Come on OP. I can't imagine begrudging my friends a tiny favour like thia

Reply to her saying ‘as friend lives closer, ask her. But if she can’t, then I can’

But seriously... if you're not planning to drive anyway, just tell her that! I'm sure she can grab a cab. Honestly can't believe you started a thread over this

Is it worth all this angst for 2 miles?

2 miles in 20 minutes, wont you be on your way to the Olympic speed walking event by then

She can get a taxi.

Not your business.

What IS this thread about?

Good grief. Make sure you charge her petrol money OP. What a CF.

Some friend you are. You sound just like my sister who charged my mum petrol money to collect her from hospital a total round trip of about 10 miles. And are wonders why I have no time for her

Why don't you get her but some one else take her home?

2 miles?! LTB

@Gouldengirl9

Because you have to go around a one way system and coming back I have to go back around that system.

So?
