Being down on your luck gets easier when people help you out and some people feel that means other people should take pity on them.

See why this man isn’t giving in to his coworker.

AITA for not letting a Coworker borrow one of my 2 cars

I have 2 cars, a 4 cylinder for work and a 8 cylinder for fun. I use the 4 cylinder for a side hustle that brings in extra good cash and daily it when I just want a chill commute to and from work.

My coworker beats up his 6 cylinder almost constantly and has been in the shop a few times already since we met.

Then this becomes his problem, too.

When his is out of commission he asks and tries to peer pressure me into letting him borrow one of them.

Both my engine and transmission has been replaced on the 4 cylinder but not due to thrashing on the needle everyday and has been good to me since.

When other people let him borrow their car, he treats it like a toy that he can break and he does not have to deal with the consequences.

The pressure is strong on this one.

Were both in our early twenties and he tries to say I suck for not letting him borrow my cars so he can get to work.

I’ll always offer a ride but never let him drive.

Am I really a jerk for letting him struggle?

Here is what folks are saying.

It’s sad when people let others make them feel they owe them.

I don’t drive and the bus is totally fine!

This would stop the whining.

This. Why don’t people consider this?

Simple! People try to justify letting others exploit them. I don’t know why.

Not on your life, buddy.
