To think she should have not taken this job if she can't make her own way there?

[FedupofbeingtoldIcantusemyname]

I know someone on FB who has recently gotten a new job - her old job was close to her house and she walked to work. New job is 5/6 miles away.

New job will involve working weekends and late nights, we live in a rural area so a lot of the roads are not really suitable for walking on, especially at night (narrow winding lanes, no streetlights, no pavements, etc). Public transport is not good and non existent on Sunday's/ after 10pm. She does not drive.

Every day so far this week she has posted on FB asking her friends for lifts to work - Aibu to think she shouldn't have taken this job if she has to rely on other people to get her to work? One of her friends actually responded that there was a bus that went to said destination but she responded "I know but it's easier to get a lift "!

Aibu to think she is being a bit cheeky expecting people to give her lifts to work every day? If it was as a one off then fair enough but constant lifts seem a bit much.

"One of her friends actually responded that there was a bus that went to said destination but she responded "I know but it's easier to get a lift "!"
I'd guess the offers will dry up after that admission.

I don't drive (I passed my test but can't now) and my dh hadn't learnt so I paid for lessons and the car expenses and he drives me. I never could be cheeky to just blag a lift every time I needed to go out.

Pound to a penny some desperate recruitment agent has pushed her into it, saying 'it'll be fine, there are buses'. They only care about their fee. I had one once get quite flummoxed that I turned a job down because of a location that 'should be ideal' for me. I explained that it was only 'ideal' if you drove - otherwise it was a trek into central London and back out again via public transport. He still kept trying to sell it to me.

Wow some people are soooo entitled......stupid cow could bike it in 15 mins.

Why are you motivated enough to open a thread about something that doesn't impact on you in any way whatsoever

what like most of the stuff on here you mean and all over the internet?

Nope, no reason why she couldn't drive other than lack of money and license.

She had a decent job 10 minutes walk away so there was no pressure from job centre, etc to get another one its just this job is apparently more hours & better progression prospects.

She probably will learn to drive eventually but she's still looking at at least 6 months of constantly asking for lifts!
