Would you be annoyed?

[AmIreallyBeverly]

Persons A and B go to the same hobby group. They get on but aren't "friends".

They end up at a mutual friend's party. Neither are drinking.

Person A can't drive and had planned to get a taxi home.

Person B happens to mention they are driving past Person A's road on the way home.

Person A asks Person B if they can have a lift to the end of their road when they leave.

If you were Person B would you feel put on and annoyed?

No. I would have offered.

No, why mention that you will drive by unless you are willing to give person A a lift?

Absolutely not annoyed in the slightest

No.
In fact I’d have offered the lift, not waited to be asked for one. I’m going the same way after all.

I'd have probably offered if I was driving.

No why mention it if you weren't gonna give them a lift?

No wouldn't bother me in the slightest

If I was person B I would've offered, or if I didn't want to I wouldn't have mentioned driving past their road.

Of course not.

No, not at all. Literally the way Person A is going.

Surely you'd just offer a lift?

Not at all, I would have offered when I realised we lived close by too.

Not as much as I am annoyed by mystery hobbies and "person A" posts.

I think it depends. On the face of it, it sounds like it wouldn't put out B to give A a lift but we don't know whether it would actually put them out practically in terms of distance or feeling they need to stay later / leave earlier with you and also for all we know B can't stand A and / or thinks they're a CF for other reasons.

Also some people find social situations like that difficult.

There is nothing wrong with A asking for a lift but also nothing wrong with B saying no or not wanting to.

No, person b should have offered, or kept quiet if they didn't want to feel put upon! 🙄

No. And YABU for the person A/B shit.

Not as much as I am annoyed by mystery hobbies and "person A" posts.

also YABU purely because of this 😂

Not at all. I would have immediately offered. I mean it’s not like I would be going out of my way

No, I'd probably offer anyway and if A had plans in place as its clearly not cf behaviour, so what's to be annoyed about?

It's fine as long as the passenger is happy to leave as soon as the drive is ready.

If I were person B, I'd have offered with the caveat of ".... If you're happy to leave at the same time I am, I'll run you home"

This

Mystery hobby is a dance class. 💃 I didn't mention it because it wasn't relevant.

Person A can be named Sue if you like and you can call Person B Joan if that makes you feel better. 😆

Not annoyed at all. I would offer, and have offered, to take people home even miles out of my way (within reason of course!) if they're on their own and planning on getting a taxi. I think karma comes around with stuff like this and if you're happy to help people out, people are more likely to help you out in future.

Although I've now changed my mind and agree that this post is annoying simply because I used a flamenco dancer in my post. It was an accident but still...
