Airport favors can test any friendship, especially when a reasonable pickup slowly drifts deep into the middle of the night.

One neighbor agrees to a late ride, then watches cancellations and delays push the arrival from 10 p.m. closer to 3 a.m.

At that point, the favor starts looking less like a pickup and more like an overnight transportation commitment.

See why one delayed flight finally sent this driver straight to “call a cab mode.”

AITAH for refusing to pickup a friend at the airport because she booked a flight that arrived at 3 am?

So this last week, I had agreed to pickup a friend/neighbor at the airport around 10 pm.

She has physical restrictions and does not drive.

She has always been tricky to deal with…

She also maxes out her luggage even though she was only going back to Philly for 2 weeks. She always has two large check-in bags, as close to the 50lb max limit as possible, and 3 carry on bags.

She likes to stay up late so always books the latest flight to arrive back in town.

In hindsight, I also realize that there are lots of crazy drivers around the airport in Vegas at night.

They weren’t on the same page…

The last 3 times I have gone to the the airport, I have almost gotten into accidents with drivers cutting me off when heading to the airport.

So this last Tues, she was set to return back at 9:50 pm.

From the time she lands, it usually takes her close to an hour to get her bags and get to the pickup area so we are talking 10:50 pm before she is ready for pickup.

UH OH…

I asked her to text me when the flight took off so I would know its on time.

She texts me that the flight is delayed and her flight sits on the ground for at least 2 hours.

Finally, around 1 am Philly time, she tells me the flight is canceled due to weather. She says they got off and there is a long line to reschedule flights and there is an app she can use.

I tell her that I don’t want to be driving to the airport after 10 pm to pick her up. There are a few flights much earlier than her current one.

Her friend doesn’t seem to be listening.

She texts me back that she has rebooked for a 9:20 departure and arrival at 11:50 pm.

I remind her that I don’t want to be driving around after 10 pm and that it would take her an hour to get out of baggage claim.

She tells me that her bags were already sent and she might be out around 12:30 am instead.

I told her I would not be coming out at 12:30 am to pick her up.

She was being so unreasonable!

As it turns out, her flight was delayed again and left at 1 am, Philly time, and arrived a 3 am local time.

I told her to call Uber and she needed a credit card to set up an account.

Her reply was, “I didn’t bring a credit card with me.”

Who does that?

So does that make me an AH for not agreeing to pickup someone at 3 am instead of 9:50 pm?

GEEZ! That’s so unreasonable!

Her friend couldn’t help it that the flight was delayed, but she’s asking a huge favor to be picked up at 3am!

Let’s find out what people on Reddit think about this one.

This user thinks she just doesn’t want to pay for the ride.

This user thinks the friend is very entitled.

This user knows that this friend is taking advantage of her.

This user has two good takeaways from this story!

If you enjoyed this story, check out this post about a friend who is upset they missed out on cheap festival passes due to her pal’s indecision.

That’s right! This user thinks her friend is very indecisive.

He agreed to a late pickup, but repeated delays eventually moved the arrival to 3 a.m., well beyond what he had accepted.

His friend still expected help despite having other transportation options, while commenters largely felt the favor had already stretched far enough.

Airport pickup is generous; becoming the 3 a.m. shuttle service is another job entirely.
