To not pick my Sis up from her friends?

Dsis has a friend who lives about 30 mins away on the bus. She went to stay over the weekend with her DS and DP.

Just got a message from her asking if I will pick her up as she doesn't like getting the bus back alone. (Her DP is going straight to Liverpool from friends house).

She has offered me a fiver which won't even cover my petrol as its a full hour in the car. And my car is a big engine.

I've told her I will pick her up but it will about a tenner in petrol. She says she doesn't have a tenner but she really doesn't like getting the bus. Confused

She's a fully grown adult, btw. I'm the only one in my family who drives at the min and hate this sort of thing because I'm made to feel like a taxi.

She knows Sunday is my 'day off' as DS is with his Dad and I like to do the shopping then relax for the rest of the day.

AIBU in saying no, given that she has got a mode of transport she just doesn't like it!

Of course...so long as it doesn't become an obligation.

I'd do it for my sister, as long as it wasn't a regular thing. 30 mins each way, maybe grab some lunch and a catch up on the way back. I'd be mortified if I thought she felt she had to offer me cash though.

Glad everything's sorted now.

She can pay you for petrol by babysitting.
