I am going to a bit vague as I don't want to out myself.
We are a group of 6 friends from uni. We have remained close although more effort is now required to meet up as we live around the country.
We have all been invited to a social occasions which is in a city close to where say friend a lives. It is in a city some 15 miles away from friend a's house.
Friend b has booked accommodation in the city.
Friend c had done the same and planned to bring her sister with her. (Friend c doesn't drive)
Me and friend d drive but don't live driving in unfamiliar cities. So seeing that a and b were sorted asked friend a if they could take us. Friend a was driving anyway and we can have a car full with partners.
Now friend b's sister has backed out so wanted to stay at friend a's house. Friend a had to say no as she would have no room in the car .
Friend b is really upset as she has now had to cancel trip because she doesn't want to stay in the booked accommodation on her own.
She thinks me and friend d are bu as we have cars and she doesn't.
So my jury should one of us bite the bullet and drive or pay for a taxi to keep the peace and enable friend b to attend.
We have all paid for hotels too as too far to do in a day
My jury what do you think please.
