Colleague left me stranded in the snow

[pissedoffnurse101]

Work alongside a colleague, I currently have no car and have been one of the only few people to get into work with all this bad snow. Today, we got the go ahead to go home and she has dropped me off to the closest train station. There is one train showing up as running in the opposite direction, no staff here at the station and no one available to collect me.

AIBU to think she could have driven the 20 minutes to drop me home (she has a 4x4)???

Perhaps if your colleague's free taxi service isn't up to scratch, you could try,you know, booking the sort you pay for.

Do you share the driving, do you ever pick up your work colleague for work?

Plus she might've had other commitments after work like an appointment or pick children up from childcare. I leave work at the exact time to ensure i get to DD's school for pick up. I just about make it sometimes. I don't even stop for hellos on the way much less run errands for other people.

My son took 3 hours to do a train journey today that normally takes 20 minutes.

YABVU.

Pay for a taxi and meet her at your first call then.

No where in this are you doing her a favour?

Here comes the drips.
I don’t understand why people post on AIBU if they are not willing to hear their actions might be unreasonable..

Honestly OP, you should probably shut up now. You're making yourself sound worse with each update.

You still didn't say anything. Fucks sake.

Why say anything when you can act the martyr and drama llamaz all over AIBU instead?

does she get paid for chauffering you around? Is it part of the "deal" with her company car?

if so, YANBU.

if not, YABU.

Is it part of her job to collect you?

I'm confused .

You asked for a life to the train station .
You got a lift to the train station.
What's the problem ?

With every update you post you sound more and more unreasonable and hysterical. I normally hate accusations of drip-feeding but that's exactly what you are doing. She didn't leave you "stranded" - there are people trapped in their cars on motorways who have been there for over 24 hours now - that's being stranded. You are home now, get a grip.

Did you call her once you realised there were no trains? She might have been able to stop, take the call and come back for you.

I'm sorry she's been crap this week and that's probably why you are being unreasonable on this particular point.

I think she was a bit tight. I sometimes give a colleague a lift, I always take her home even though it’s out of my way and she says she would be fine stopped at the bus station. Because it’s kind and an extra 15 minutes in my warm car is less horrible for me than standing in a freezing bus station is for her.
So she’s not BU but she was unkind.

I think your colleague was a bit ungenerous. I give people rides home from work often-especially in bad weather, because I feel lucky to have a decent car.

Knowing that the U.K. is in the middle of a snow storm and buses and trains are not running, when you went to work this morning how were you planning to get home?

How much more are you going to desperately fling in, OP?

You could have got a taxi.
You could have phoned someone for a lift.
You got home just fine.
Pregnancy doesn’t cause paralysis of the legs so the walk was manageable.
You get the train to meet her because you don’t drive, that’s not doing her a favour.
If you don’t like it, get another job.

What if she had kids to collect from childcare?

We didn't know the back story from your original OP. Under normal circumstances it's fine just to drop at the station but with current weather I'd have asked her to wait a bit until you knew there'd be a train. If I was her I'd have dropped you home, but that's me.

Chris an extra fifteen minutes in bad/snowy conditions??

She's probably sick of driving you round everywhere.

You know you aren't 'doing her a favour' by making yourself easier to pick up, don't you?

Do you offer petrol money?

I’m also pregnant so wouldn’t have left someone in this situation

drip drip...

I’m 30 weeks pregnant

drip drip drip...

And leaving you at the train station as you requested is not leaving you "stranded in the snow".

Leaving you stranded in the snow would be pulling in along a rural road and booting you out before driving away which would have been understandably given your attitude.
