To not give him a lift to work?

[Pombliboo123]

I agreed to give one of the apprentices at my work a lift to and from work for a few days as the person who usually gives him a lift couldn't manage.

Fine. Except now it's been every day for 6 weeks!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know if IABU because it's only about 3 minutes out of my way so not a huge inconvience BUT he is a 17 year old boy, we don't have anything in common to speak about so either sit in silence or when we do speak he's actually just gets on my nerves because most teenagers do. Plus I work in HR so it seems a bit like crossing boundaries and finally the 25 minute drive to work and the 25 minute drive home is the ONLY TIME I GET TO BE ALONE. I can sing along to the radio (badly), speak to myself or just enjoy the peace.

It's two buses and a 20 minute walk to get to work from his house... am I being a selfish cowbag and should just give the poor lad a lift or not?

If not what the hell do I say to him to not sound like a selfish bitch?!

Since I know your all dying for an update

I'm fairly certain he/his mum/his girlfriend/somebody has seen this because I haven't heard a peep from him since I posted

Result

I gave a colleague a lift home one night and she asked why we just don't do this every day. I died inside! I don't want to be stuck in a routine, sometimes I leave at 4, other days at 5.30. I told her I didn't always go the way she lives and didn't want to be stuck in a routine. Doesn't help that I'm her boss. Luckily, she's moving after the holidays. I like my time in the car alone!

Tell him HR or someone has told you not to give him a lift any more.

Result!!

You shouldn't have to give a reason! It was an imposition from the time he began to take advantage of you.
