I think my friend should pay, she thinks we should split it?

Driving a friend 4 hours away for an operation (cosmetic) and will use 2 full tanks of fuel in my car, cost of a hotel, food while I'm there and I'm using a days annual leave.
She wants to split all costs down the middle, whereas I think I'm using my holiday entitlement and 2 days of my time (which I am more than happy to give up) but don't think I should be paying for fuel, or for the hotel? I've said I'll pay for all my own food.
Her logic is we're both going so why should only she pay, she's already paying lots for surgery.
My logic is I wouldn't be going if it wasn't to do her a favour so don't see it fair to split costs.
Whats the right thing to do here? Don't want to be mean but trying to be fair...

Not chance you should even consider this!

SmellsLikeMiddleAgeSpirit · 08/05/2018 12:02

Please tell us you're not going to do this "favour", OP.
PLEASE!

Namesarehard · 08/05/2018 12:26

Just read the whole thread. I have nothing else to add except to say she's a cheeky cunt. Good for you for not being a doormat!

Bummymum · 08/05/2018 12:29

If you do this op I'll find out where you live and come and throw poo at your house. DO NOT DO THIS FOR HER!

You sound lovely, sorry got friend turned out to be a huge pile of nasty.

Nobody else to take her?

Can't think why!

I hope you told her that actually, she has nobody to take her.

DunkandEgg · 08/05/2018 13:18

Don't you dare agree to it, OP. More fool you if you do.

BrightYellowDaffodil · 08/05/2018 13:22

So she'll reimburse your financial costs but happily take your time for free? Aside from anything else, given her behaviour I can just imagine what a pleasant time it would be to be stuck on a long journey with her...

Hard to understand why she hasn't got anyone else to take her!

bringbacksideburns · 08/05/2018 13:28

Oh please OP! You arent going to take her after all this surely?

Don't you think it's off she has no family or other friends who will do it?

If you go you are a massive mug as you will literally be her Taxi driver and she'll never speak to you again! Tell her to get lost.

Aeroflotgirl · 08/05/2018 13:41

She's offered to pay you, however I would not want to spend one more miniute in that woman's company, let alone a whole weekend. It will be very unpleasant for you.
