    I gave someone a lift from work for a few months and I hated it. I used to drop her off at home which was 2 miles further on. She never offered any money but it wasn't that point that I didn't like - I just hated the fact that I couldn't feel that I could work over, or pop to the shops on the way home or call in at a friends when I fed her cats. I used to take her home then go back to feed the cats at my friend's house! Ridiculous. It was just that I felt that I had that responsibility. In the end I just said that I was sorry but wouldn't be able to do it anymore. She latched on to someone else soon enough.


    OP, just accept that it is this person's responsibility to get themselves to work. When you take a job, you have already formulated the plan in your head of how you are going to get there.


    Helping people occasionally is one thing but being taken for a ride (ha ha) is another. Get rid.

    If I were you I would stop doing it. Although I like my own driving space and freedom to d-tour and stop off on the way...also not keep to times. I think when you dont drive its hard to understand how much it costs & the impossition. If your happy to do it put the price up, if not put an end to it.
