Some friends can get too demanding and entitled.

If a friend asked you for a ride, would you drop everything to help them or would you say “no”?

This woman owns a car and drives to and from work.

Her friend asked for a ride that would add a significant detour and cost.

So, she said no.

Now, she’s wondering if she made the wrong decision.

Read the full story below.

AITA for not giving my friend a ride when it was out of my way?

I (24F) was heading home from work when a friend asked if I could give her a lift.

The problem is, she lives in the opposite direction, and it would’ve added about 40 minutes to my drive.

I’m also in a sticky financial situation at the moment and I can’t afford the extra gas.

This woman refused to drive her friend.

I said I couldn’t because I was tired and just wanted to get home.

She ended up getting a ride from a friend, but she later texted me saying I was “selfish” since I had my car anyway, and thankfully she has “real” friends.

She felt a little guilty, and things had become awkward between them.

I felt a bit guilty, but at the same time, I don’t think I should have to make such a big detour.

I have the privilege of owning a car, but I also don’t think it means that I owe anyone rides whenever they need them.

Ever since then, it has been awkward between us.

Was she wrong for not giving her friend a ride home, or is her friend making a big deal about nothing?
