If you don't want to give them lifts because you feel that the two of you don't get on, just say so. Honesty really is the best policy.

If it was a colleague, I'd suggest that.

As it's a manager who could cause problems at work, I'd be more circumspect.

This or a 2 seater sports car. Not only will you never again have to give them lifts but you'll arrive at the end of your commute with a smile on your face. :cool:

I used to love my drive into work in my MR2. I shouldn't have moved closer to work.

This one, do your CBT and get a 125 and under CBT rules, you cannot carry anyone else. :beer:

If looking for a dishonest answer feign a breakdown(mechanical kind not mental) and "never" fix the car then park out of sight.

We don't have a great relationship at work as they have quite an aggressive attitude and I would like to stop giving them lifts but cannot think of a way of saying it without causing acrimony. I am not going out of my way by giving them a lift but it is sometimes awkward when we have had a not great shift together and then at the end of it they start being nice to me so I will give them a lift home.

A couple of other people are sometimes able to give this person a lift but they usually ask me. I am not confrontational but it really riles me, how can I tell them no without looking mean in front of my other workmates?

Cake yourself in this and hey presto no more unwanted free loaders :-

Are they contributing to your fuel costs? If not, ask them to do so.

Sick relation, who just happens to live/be in hospital the total opposite way of colleague's house, whom you need to visit every night after work, sometimes even before work if a lift crops up then.

Or you've got a new hobby at a friend's house the total opposite way of colleague's house, which you partake in every single night, or you are cat-sitting/hamster-sitting/dog-sitting/budgie-sitting at said friend's house for the next six months as she's emigrated temporarily.

Or say you've done some research into fuel usage and their 'bulk' is adding X amount to your fuel costs, ask for a contribution.
