Am I being unreasonable?

[Smoblikat]

Just to add some closure:

Me and my friend just had a discussion on the events and apparently he didnt fully understand why I was angry. We talked it out and things are just fine again, I think me and him both learned something.

you should have never started offering regular rides for free, you get expectations.

You should have split AT LEAST gas costs since the beginning.

What the fuck? Are you female or just a drama queen?
Either he pays and rides or he finds other transportation. No need to make an issue out of it. You've learned what kind of person he is. Get on with life and don't be a bitch.

he needs his mancard revoked indefinitely.

OP, about your friend- is he a really hot chick? If so, all of this makes WAY more sense.
Also, I'm considered by most of the people on here to be one of the very best advice-givers in the forums (thank you) so listen to these words:
Pour a bag of sugar in his gas tank, you'll both feel better.
Don't question, just do it.
You're welcome.

That's a fine piece of advise there stormkroe. No wonder people depend on your wisdom to make day to day life decisions.

Ill be sure to contact you when in need.

Not talking shit OP, but this sounds like it's going to turn into some pre-teen dramafest. lol

QFT.

Esp all the lead in to his tires, clutch and stuff added to the fact his is admitting to 'loving his turbo'

Anywho, if it's 35 miles per day that's about 12 miles split. If that 10 miles per day to go to lunch is for the friend in question that's 17 miles per day for 'his cut'. At $4 a gallon $20 is more fair, if you want your wear and tear factored in his cut would be $45 a week, but it's not his vehicle so YMMV.

If you are in such dire straights, you guys should be packing your lunches.

At 15MPG, that is not a reasonable commuter car.

Not unreasonable.

He's going to put way more into his truck to make it to work.

You are being treated like a dick by this guy.

You seriously put a roof over his head and the guy didn't want to hang out with you, you make it sound like this happened more than once which makes him a douchebag leech who doesn't actually like you but uses you for whatever he can get.

All that you have achieved is making him think how much it would cost him if you stop giving him free rides.

Kick him to the curb and tell him to sort his own life out.

Nice way to lose your friends, Specially close friends (Decade)

Why would you ask him "MONEY" for gas if he work with you at the same place?
If this really bothers you, you should have told him to use his car to go together to work sometimes ...


I would feel very cheap and ashamed of my self if i ask a close friend for stupid 20$ just for gas...

Money don't grow on trees.

I'd ask for 30 a week.

That's a good friendship.

I was going to say that you were going to work anyway and if he didn't pay you were still going to be out the $20 and the friend as well. If it were me I'd let the money slide as friends who stick around for a decade or longer tend to be few and far between in my experience.

That one.

 

[HitAnyKey]

Sounds like it worked out in the end. But no you were not being unreasonable.

 

[Newell Steamer]

he said he didnt want to pay

What would you guys do?

I would not let him set foot in my car, ever again.

Also, he frankly should have offered something, well before you even had to ask him for anything. When I go somewhere with friends (dinner, hiking, etc.) and it is far (over an hour), if they stop for gas, I pay for half of it.

 

[RadiclDreamer]

No, you are being completely reasonable, if he doesnt like it tell him hes free to drive himself if he thinks he can do better, dont forget hes also leaving wear and tear off his own vehicle by riding with you

 

[gorcorps]

Well, he sounds like a mooch and not a friend worth having around.

If he was a better friend though, charging him money for a trip you have to make anyway can seem a little silly. If I was your friend I would offer to split the time with you (I drive some days, and you drive some days). If you then came back and said "I'd rather drive every day" then I wouldn't expect to have to pay for it, because I offered to split the time and you said no.
