Driving someone home is a favor, not a chore that you should be expected to do.

This person shares that a coworker keeps demanding a ride home from work.

One time was okay, but every single day is getting to be way too much.

Yet, this person is hesitant to tell the coworker “no” when he asks for a ride home.

What’s the right way to handle this situation?

Read the full story below.

WIBTA if I don’t want to drive my colleague to work?

I work in healthcare as a nurse.

It can be exhausting.

You work with people and talk with people through your whole shift.

My social battery sometimes gets drained.

Like the battery of an iPhone 13 Mini.

This person looks forward to their peaceful drive home.

The only thing I think about on days like this is my peaceful 30-ish-minute drive home.

That’s where I can relax, sing, fart, and reset.

My job requires that you have a car because sometimes we need to get to work really fast in the middle of the night.

One of their coworkers doesn’t have a car.

All of my coworkers have a car except for one parasite coworker.

He states that he doesn’t need a car, but every time we are called to an emergency procedure, he would demand me to pick him up.

He expects them to drive him home from work every time.

Even after work, he expects me to drive him home.

That’s every single day.

Although he’s only a 20-minute walk away from work.

I live relatively near him, but I would never take that route, if it wasn’t for him.

Driving is no longer enjoyable, so they want to say no.

I started to hate my drives home.

I don’t enjoy them anymore, and I feel awkward.

Do I need to live like this for 30 more years?

Would I be a jerk if I just told him “no?”

She should definitely tell him “no” even if it means making up an excuse.

Let’s check out the comments of other people on Reddit.

This person thinks it’s ridiculous.
