We both live in areas which need residents permits.
She has invited me to come to a restaurant with her which isnt in either of our parts of town but is around 30mins away. We live abiut 10mins away from eachother.
She has asked me to come to her or to meet her at the restaurant however i cannot park outside her house, i suggested she comes and gets me due to her bringing her 2yr old and having her car seat ect
Now she said to meet her at the restaurant, what is the point of this?
Shouldn't she just come and get me?

I think you're unreasonable to expect her to get you. Why can't you park at the restaurant?

If I was her I would probably have offered to pick you up if I needed to drive anyway, unless I was going to be short of time, but I think you're unreasonable to push this after she's said no

Eh? Park at the restaurant.

WorraLiberty · 02/05/2016 15:50

If she lives 10 minutes away, why would you bother driving?

TurnOffTheTv · 02/05/2016 15:53

Just meet at the restaurant. Unless your house is on the way, she should pick you up really. Daft to take two cars

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 02/05/2016 15:55

I live 20 mins from a friend. If we go out, one of us does the driving. What's they point of taking both cars?

Even you park at her, she picks you up or you walk to hers, or she walks to yours.

Purplepicnic · 02/05/2016 15:56

You mean she offered to drive you both but only if you drive to hers first and go from there? You declined because you can't park outside her house without a permit and so her response is to just say meet at the restaurant?

If it's important you drive why don't you pick her up? Although if it's a half hour drive from you both I don't see the problem with you both driving.

NerrSnerr · 02/05/2016 15:59

Just meet her there. I don't see what the problem is.

WorraLiberty · 02/05/2016 15:59

The OP's friend said 'come' to hers, not 'drive' to hers.

I don't know why she doesn't just walk round there?

Shouldn't she just come and get me?

Yes, walk to hers and work up an appetite. That way you won't have to worry about drinking too much, either.

liptolinford · 02/05/2016 16:04

reverse?

Trills · 02/05/2016 16:05

If you were picking her up why would you need to park?

KingLooieCatz · 02/05/2016 16:05

Crikey.

30 minutes drive is a fair old trek to a restaurant. I speak as someone who has lived in the middle of nowhere and city centre.

Is it really special?

Or do you live in the middle of nowhere?

Or are you taking part in a motoring rally?

Why don't you just get public transport to the restaurant, or to hers?
