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?

I wouldn't bother replying. She's not a friend. Block her number and ignore. She's not worth an ounce of energy.

Well this was some years ago, Aeroflot but yes, it was still massively cheaper than any other form of transport at the time! And no, we're no longer friends.

OMFG! Go to the party and enjoy the twat free zone that it will be without this numpty bitch! Hells teeth!

Good riddance to bad rubbish then! I wouldn't bother replying and would block her. What a pisstaking cow.

You have the best ice breaker story ever for tonight's party!

Do people like this really exist?! Ditto re petrol. I just cannot believe........

I think you now know her by her real name, user.

Ignore, ignore, ignore. If she wants to talk herself out of an evening out - let her.

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.

People like this are leeches, I'm always amazed at how they manage to have any friends at all.

A true friend would book the taxi and pay the cost since you broke your arm and had been prepared to do a good deed.

That's good thumb, I am a non driver but always pay my way and happy do do so Iif being given a lift. The behaviour of some is shocking!

Wow. Just wow. Unbelievable, she has got some front. Do not pay for her. Do not even let her share and pay half anymore. Go alone and sod her. If you let this go unacknowledged YABU. Please update us.

entitled spoiled brat ...

delete her x

Cheeky moo.

Tell her you'll make your separate ways there....and then never offer her lofts again.

Shocking! Clearly had no intention of paying any petrol money for her lift then I see

How rude!

Seriously?! No brainer, leave the cow to make her own way there or she can sit at home

What's a stooky?

I'd do nothing, and if she says something say "sorry. I thought you were joking still. I didn't think anyone could seriously be so mean!"

Bloody cheeky cow!! I'd tell her what PP said .... "seriously! Ok see you around"

Seeing some of the posts on here recently I'm absolutely amazed how people treat their friends!! I wouldn't share a taxi with her after that if my life depended on it, cheeky cow...

Does anyone else going know the original plan (you giving numbnuts a lift) ?

If so, maybe turn up a tad early, and if anyone asks where's so and so tell the story you've told us. With added texts as required ....

If she's skint and said she can't afford to paid half's on a can there and back so can't go I'd offer to pay tbh. If she can well afford it and just thinks you should pay because you were going to give her a lift then I'd do what a pp said and leave early so when you get the text asking if you're coming to get her you can say you thought she wasn't going and are already nearly there. If she's just being tight make her pay a full cab fare there and back or sit at home.
Do you often run her places? If you do it would have been nice for her to offer to pay your share if she can afford it.

No way should you pay for her taxi - and never ever give her a lift anywhere ever again. Grade 1tight entitled bitch and no friend of yours.
You should simply reply "Fuck off you fool"

OP what did you end up doing?

She isn't your friend. Tell her to fuck off, grabby caah

Cheeky cow! Do people really behave like this?

You broke your arm, hardly as if you suddenly decided you couldn't be arsed to drive.

With friends like that who needs enemies!
