To think that the cost should be shared?

[Edenviolet]

If more than one person get a taxi? Or am I being petty?

I'm going somewhere at the weekend booked a taxi just for me and was today asked to share the taxi, I said yes and that we could pay half each to be told "you were getting a taxi anyway so must have the money for it and it doesn't cost more me coming too so no"

I was getting one regardless but thought if I shared the taxi we would also share the cost or aibu?

Thats just cheeky! tell them your getting the bus now

YANBU and the other person is being really rude and tight. And I think taxis do add a supplement for each person travelling.

Id expect half too. Are they coming to yours and sharing a cab or are you collecting them on the way?

Of course you aren't being unreasonable, who's the attempted freeloader?

YANBU. What a cheek. Why should you pay all and she nothing. Has she form for taking the mickey?

Tell them to eff off and get their own!
Isn't there a fixed charge per person, and then per mile? So

1. your base cost will go up because of an extra person
2. the mileage may be different
3. they are a rude fucker and personally I'd rather pay the full price on my own than share with someone like that

I take it you told them 'so no we won't be sharing then'

Maybe say to them "if I wasnt getting a cab you would need to pay full fare, so this way, we are both benefitting"

I am on your behalf, I can't believe the cheek of some people. I think MN has spoken, you must say no.

cheeky sod!

YANBU tell them they either pay half or get their own!

OMFG!! You have to be kidding me.
I think you use the great MN saying - Oh Do Fuck Off Dear to good effect on this one!
No feckin' way would I be sharing with someone who didn't even think to contribute.

Wow - shocked here!

hope you told them you won't be sharing then?

I would love to know your response

Don't let them share.

That is taking the piss, it really is.

Sharing a taxi is supposed to benefit both parties. That's why people do it.

You really need to tell them it's half (up front! because they sound like they'll shaft you) or get their own.

But you won't, will you? I am guessing this will be yet another stunt by one of your horrible relatives or something and you'll take it up the arse as always. I wish you could see you deserve better than to be crapped on by everyone in your life.

Impolite, uncouth, and brass necked. I too want to know your response!

What ThinkIveBeen said. Depending on your relationship to this person I think that this is more than cheeky, it's downright rude. It's not even as though they have claimed money difficulties and asked in a more humble manner.

No, you pay half or we don't share.

YANBU

Do not let this person share your taxi! If you do you will be treated like a mug forever by them.

Tell her to ring AmIBeingAbused for a lift

Oh are you offering free lifts? Would you like to take me to work?

It was dsis regarding visiting DM.

She was so angry I just wondered if actually I was bu and perhaps she was right.
I told her that I can't really afford it either but she said in a huff that she will not go as needs a rest now

Good grief. Some people are unbelievable!

You either pay half at the time or pay your turn. We shared a taxi to our Xmas do with another couple. They paid on the way out, we paid on the way back. If I was taking my mum (a pensioner) then I might offer to pay it all but if anyone said what your friend/relative has then I'd tell them to get their own bloody taxi!

It would be cheaper for her to split the cost with you, rather than getting her own taxi. Silly woman.

you were right, your sister was being a cheeky cow!
