Agreed, this one is a little much.

Would you go pick up your friend's wife at the airport at 1 am on a Sunday

(and you had an early Monday morning meeting) because she was afraid to take an Uber? You were sort of asked about this request (more like it as just assumed you'd do it) around 9 pm Sunday.

Yeah none of that.

Jun 17, 2025, 10:40 AM [ in reply to only if she's blowing ]

Friends of have buddy passes to go somewhere on Friday. When they try to return to CHS, all the flights are booked. This is not new, and they are familiar with how this buddy pass thing works. This happens alot using buddy passes.

I get a text randomly on a Friday to go let their dog out and feed it. Sure I can do that, no problem. (I've done this quite a few times over the years) Get another text Sunday if I could go could let their dog out at 10 PM because their dog sitter left. OK, no problem. Also..how long will you be up? Friend of won't be making it back but friend's of wife is coming back at midnight and needs a ride home, so try and be there around 12:15.

Uh...be WHERE? The airport? Yeah Thanks buddy! I'm like "why not take an Uber?"
Him: She's scared of those by herself.

Me: Huh?..Ok..I guess I can be there.

She texts and hour later and says she got bumped, but can get in around 1 am. "Is that too late? If it is we have another friend that come get me" At that point, I said, yeah, I'm out for 1 am.

I get a text 5 minutes later. "Thanks for feeding the dog. I found a ride."

Its been radio silence since then, and I finally texted both of them and asked when they both got in. About an hour later (from her): "I ended up getting in at 11:30, and friend of got in later the next afternoon".

And that's been the extent of it. I'm pretty sure they are both mad I didn't go get her.

I think my problem is I've been too nice and they just take me doing stuff for granted, and when I finally say no to something, they got all butthurt about it.

Note--I had been drinking some Sunday afternoon, had sobered up, but was tired AF and hadn't planned on going anywhere.

AITAH (I mean in this particular situation)?

Re: only if she's blowing

I would never ask friends for favors like these

Hell, what is the parking even matter when piled up on they cost of the trip.

Good friend, I think.

When you do regular favors for people they start to take it for granted.
