Just started doing some voluntary work. There's a training session on, close to DD's school so very handy for me to drop her and walk to the venue. One of the other volunteers said to me today "how are you getting there? Are you driving?"
I said, I'll be driving in from XYZ (not where I live) and dropping DD off at school (DD attends a pre-school activity on the day the training happens to be held, so I'll literally have a 5 minute window to drop her at school and then walk 5 minutes down the road to arrive at the start time for the training).
She pulls a face and then brightens and says "We'll go back together."
I look at her like 'wha-?' and she repeats "we'll go back together."
I say "You mean you want a lift back?" (from a 5 word exchange last week I know she lives about 6 roads from me).
She nods and walks off.
Now, I have no real objection to giving this woman a lift (beyond having to clean the car out for company ), as it's on my way home anyway, but is this not a fucking rude way of asking for one? It's not even asking, is it, it's just demanding?
