Should I drive my friend's partner to hospital 1.5 hrs away at bullshit-o'clock with little notice?

Actually as soon as I typed that I started to think maybe I am being unreasonable.

My good friend is having a holiday in Italy by herself. Her partner wasn't thrilled about her leaving him for 2 weeks, acted quite juvenile about it really but boo hoo- my friend has dealt with 2 tragedies in the past year and desperately needed some travel and time away to recover and regroup.

Anyway he's hurt his finger and needs minor surgery to repair a tendon. I told my friend I'd drive him to the hospital and pick him up after, thinking it was our local hospital which is literally up the road.

But he's just told me it's another hospital about 90 minutes away with a 5am start. I'd have to miss the day's work and hang around waiting for him.

He could've organised patient transport from hospital to hospital, no idea why he didn't. It's too late now.

I'm going to have to do it aren't I? Only other option I can think of is to drive him there tonight and he can stay at a hotel. Then I can work tomorrow and pick him up afterwards. Arrghh I dont know which is worse. Also DH will have to stay with DC6 if I'm not WFM tomorrow.

WWYD?

You offered therefore you have to take him.
Next time don't be so quick to volunteer.

You are priceless 😂

My friend has been home from Italy for a week. All over.

Go read an active thread now :)

He sounds like a complete tool! Not surprised she needs to unwind and can’t do that if he’s with her.

just say no- you have to work! Let him get the train!

This happened back in May....🙈

😂

Far out, how did this come up again?

His finger is much better now, and he's still a complete tool 🙄

😂

Well... You did offer.

I don't think you can back out of it now, but he owes you a MASSIVE favour at some later point. And so does friend really.

Good God, the zombies are out and about.

BRAINS...
