For starters, I'll admit that I'm a selfish bastarde. Now that's out of the way....
Relatively new at work. I'm the only one who has a car. One lives along the way (not really, I'd have to reroute and take city road instead of my usual speedy highway route) and asked me if I can take another route for his convenience sake and drive him home everyday. Funny guy.
The other has a husband who already picks her up everymorning. She lives by my area as well.
Then comes along a new chic today who also lives in the same vicinity as myself and said outright "when it gets cold I'm going to get you to drive me home since we live in the same area". So instead of inconveniencing her husband, she wants me to drop her off. Then she goes off and makes the suggestion to the lady above and she comes to me. I thought it'd be the same request of dropping her off at home. But no, she actually dare tells me, not ask, to pick her up at the bus stop so we can go to work together. WTF??
Though I am friendly to all people, it seems like I'm thought of as being easy, lol. No fackin' way. From beginning to end I haven't said a word to imply any act of kindness. In the lunch room before we get off finally I respond to her second attempt at the "demand", talking to one directly and the other was listening. Basically told her to get lost.
I'm not always home before I head to work. I may be out somewhere else doing something, far away from my home. No way in hell am I going to make a special trip up to pick them up then drive back down again. Or some mornings I would like to go by and drive my sister to work. I'd like to leave my options open. No matter what my excuse, better yet, I don't need to give one.
I like being independent and going anywhere on the fly without being tied down for whatever reason.
Similar incident happened prior at another job where I was hired to help this individual and he/she offered my "service" to the manager of the warehouse 'cause he needed it. Maybe before offering my service it would be nice if you came up to me and asked if it's something I'd want to do. I refused to go and he/she ended up going himself/herself. Please don't volunteer me before asking me first.
Assuming just makes an ASS out of you, not me.
