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?

She was going to get a train apparently sat or sun but wanted to change her plans on hearing I was getting a taxi to just come along with me.
The thing is db paid one day last week, I paid another day for us all and when it came to the third day dsis couldn't find a cash machine/had no money and then managed to scrape together only enough for the way there and only told me that on the way back so I had to pay!

You need to use the word "feeloader" next time you talk to her.

Not about needing a rest . She has pissed off you won't fork out for her. She is a bully.

Oh my word! Thought it was bad enough but then saw it was your sister! I'd be embarrassed to share a taxi and not pay my share, YADNBU!

She's a free loader.

If that was my sister, I'd pay without even thinking about it, but that's only because she has done loads for me. In this situation from what you have said, you should not feel guilty.

Wow, that's so rude! If you share a taxi, you share the cost, simple as that! You wouldn't get a bus with someone and expect to be covered by their ticket too.

YANBU!

I would say 'Actually, I've decided that since it's my ride, I'd like to have some peace and quiet. Here's the company's number - you can set up your own ride. They're very reliable'.

Actually, I probably wouldn't say that, but I would want to :)

If they want to share a taxi, that absolutely includes sharing the cost. That's ridiculous. Tell them to book their own taxi!!

This person sounds like a real liftzilla I think there is a cost for additional passengers btw.

When I read the OP I thought, ' no friend would speak to anyone like that, the only person I know who would speak to me like that is my sister' ( in fact all friends and their sisters would too) . Then I saw it was your sister too.

Yanbu, but sisters, can sometimes, for some reason, expect things like this. Is she the youngest? Does she think you are better off than her?

I used to go to a club which was 3 night buses away. I'd only go if I got a taxi home as I couldn't stand it. But it meant I only went once a month. Friends used to go each week and bus it. When I went they would all expect a free £30 taxi ride dropped off to their door. When I asked for contributions (just the £4.50 each the night bus would have cost them) they were furious and told me I was a sting? cow and they'd rather get the buses

If you share a taxi you split the cost. If it were my sister I'd have no qualms about saying cough up or walk.

Yes she's the youngest but she is a lot better off financially

That is so rude!!

If she'd said she wanted to go but couldn't afford it, would you mind if she tagged along it would be one thing. But to just say you're going anyway, you are paying is just rude and cringey. I'd tell her to make her own way too.

Very rude (taxisharer not op).. Say no

Call her 'LZ' in text messages.

She'll never get it but we'll all laugh.

Another liftzilla

Yanbu.

Haha xpost with Laurie.

Just laugh. Every time she tries this sort of thing. If she draws you laugh and sigh saying something like "oh, you're just so funny when you start all this stuff, a bit like a spoilt toddler" chuckle some more, wipe a fake tear. And repeat until she either spontaneously combusts, refuses to ever share a lift again or gets over herself.

I knew this was going to be your sister, Hedgehog. I just knew!

And no, YANBU. If you share a taxi then you share the costs. That's how it works.

But you have enough to worry about with your dm right now. Ignore your sister and let her sulk. It's high time she stopped thinking the world revolved around her.

What else would you expect from your family? Just another in a long line of Parrish behaviours.

Erhm, pratish. Damned phone.
