This man was asked by a close friend to borrow his car for a weekend trip.

He declined because he doesn’t feel comfortable with anyone else driving his vehicle.

However, his friend didn’t take it well and even called him selfish.

Even some of their friends were pressuring him to just help out.

AITA for not letting my friend borrow my car?

My friend asked to borrow my car to go on a trip for the weekend.

I told them no because I don’t feel comfortable with anyone else driving it.

They got mad and said I was selfish.

Because they needed it for something important.

This man suggested renting a car or taking a bus instead.

I told them they could rent a car or take a bus.

They said I was a terrible friend.

Now, a couple of people in our friend group are saying I should have just helped out.

Am I the jerk?
