DH and I are on fairly friendly speaking terms with a couple locally who had two sons that were at school with my DS.
I wouldn't say we were friends, we looked after their daughter once at very short notice (think a call at 7am on a Sunday) but since then, we haven't really spoken to them as one of their Ds's now goes to a different school and the other was permanantly excluded.
I only mention this because our only contact really was at the school run.
Last night the phone went at half past nine. We answered thinking it could be DH's family who are having a few things going on at the moment.
It was this couple. They asked DH if they could ask a favour. Could we lend them a fiver and drive them to the other side of town.
We declined because we don't get paid for another week, so the car is on the drive without petrol.
The place they asked for a lift to was a residential estate, so it wasn't a medical emergency or anything.
AIBU to think that this is out of order? I would never call anyone after 8pm out of the blue, and I just think this is a big ask from someone who is an aquaintance.
But DH and I are both working overtime at the moment and Sunday night is our only time together, so I may have just over-reacted because I resented the interruption.
