To suggest she pays half?

[Mrbluethecatt]

I broke my arm on Tuesday and have a stooky. The doctor said I cannot drive.

I am going to a friend's birthday party tonight at her house and had intended to drive as I don't drink. I had agreed to give another friend a lift. I called this friend on Wednesday to let her know and suggested we get a taxi instead and go halfs. My friend didn't disagree.

I called friend to confirm what time to pick her up she mentioned that she thinks I should pay for the taxis as I initially offered to give her a lift. She tinkly laughed after mentioning this. I laughed too and said fair enough I'll meet you there instead. Thinking she was joking. She wasn't. She has texted to say if I don't pay for the taxis there and back so won't be going.

Aibu to expect her to pay half? The cost would be about £5 each. Should I pay and never offer to give her a lift again?

With more front than Buckingham Palace!

Yahhhoooo well done.... OOh I do love a happy ending x

Well done OP. What a fucking liberty.

Hope your arm gets less broken soon

Nice one OP!

Well done, you! What a total cunt she is, to try to turn it all back on you and make out it's all your fault. That would be it for me. She knows exactly what she's doing. Very manipulative. Bet you're not the first target she's used, either. You are well, well rid of her. Some people don't deserve friends. Hope you ignore all further messages or block entirely.

Well done!!

Text her OK, have a nice night.

Don't feel bad your being used.

Haha what a woman! Glad you gave her what for

Well said OP.

One consolation - your broken arm will mend but she will still be a totally entitled pisstaking leech with more front than Blackpool.

Well done op ! You told her.!!... she needed that but something tells me she can't see what she did wrong ! Better off without friends like that!

Well done OP xx

Am I the only one who saw that move coming ?? I bet she turns up at the party after getting a lift off someone else - without having the good grace to offer to pick you up.

She's no friend she's a fucking piss taker

Now just don't answer her OP and block her.

Oh my goodness OP. She sounds so lacking in general kindness & empathy. Her message saying she wasn't going if you weren't paying was truly rotten.... And the rest of her behaviour... 🙄Please don't let her wheedle her way back in. And please tell your DH that neither she nor her DH are allowed to borrow anything and why!
Then let her feel the silence....

Still, your friends at the party have got the measure of her after last night as well as you. Bet she doesnt get offered a lift from anyone now!

I'm glad you stood up for yourself - that was very brave of you to tell her why, I think you've been beautifully clear!

What a shame though to learn that about a friend... Underneath it all, I expect this has knocked you for six after breaking your arm. I hope your other good friends are offering you help and lifts, as that's what real friends do!!

I'm sorry about your broken arm xxxxx

EPIC phone call OP! Well done 👍

Woohooo! Well done OP.

Good for you for phoning. I'm not sure I'd have told her to fuck off but otherwise I'd have let her know how rude she was

Well done, OP!!

Well done OP. You see so many threads here about the awful ways people get treated by others yet don't say anything!

Get alone and dont give her a lift ever again. Hope your arm heals soon

What a result!

Great result!

As I don't drive I often benefit from lifts from friends (although only when they offer). If this was me I'd be insisting on paying for the taxi as it was "my turn to give the lift" or something. Had a similar situation with a colleague regularly giving me a lift who had her car in the garage so I paid her bus fare (and showed her where the stop was etc).
