On Friday nights after work I like to have a couple of cold ones to unwind with co-workers & friends. But after drinking I don't want to take anyone home unless it's en route to my house, reason being if I get a DUI or in accident it was by doing someone else a a favor.

For a while one particular friend (http://prince.org/msg/100/369099?&pg) I started to tell him I wasn't going out after work t avoid having too drive him home. He is still lying about dumb shit:

The girl I'm dealing with is pregnant & she says it's mine. They take a DNA test 2 months into the pregnacy through the womb & he's the father.

I asked him later just to see his reaction: "Do you think you are the father" ? His response was "I don't know, I think she was messing with others guys so I don't know". But you took a DNA test a month prior. SMFH

This past Friday he shows up at the bar with my wife's 1st cousin who also is employed by the same transit agency as me. They don't get there til around 9:30. My wife's cousin texts me to say "we're on our way, I had to wait for a young lady too get off as she wanted to hang out as well"

My friend is obsessed with our uniforms & anyone who wears this unform he wants to be down with. He can't get a job with them cause of his background.

When it came time too leave Friday, my wife's cousin had to be to work at 5:30 am & it's getting late. So my friend whom he showed up with, decides he wants to order food.

My wife's cousin can't wait, so I now am forced to drive him home. The bus that takes him home is no longer running & a cab is gonna cost him around $30. From the establishment where we hang is about 5-7 minutes to his apartment by car. The problem is I still have to drive myself home after dropping him off.

On the way home I hit a pothole & blow out a tire. He's in the car with me & just listened as I bitched about having replace a tire. I make it to his apartment & ask him to hop out here so I can try & make it home. As I pull away the tire is clearly all the way flat now, So I pull into a gas station across the street & call my wife.

She says call AAA for assistance & I wait 3 hours from 1:20 am til about 4:26 am. They change the flat & put the doughnut on and I'm on my way.

Since then I've haven't gotten a phone call or even a text stating did you make it home safe or shit & I'm pissed about it.

If that were me I'd had offered to pay a portion of the repair as you were doing me a favor. This same guy had his I-Phone 4 sitting on his knee & my son walked past & bumped his knee & the phone shattered. I paid a $100 to have his phone fixed & I didn't think it was my son's fault but I paid anyway......AM I WRONG & WHAT WOULD YOU DO GOING FORWARD!!

of course not... you don't want to be inconvenienced while you're putting innocent lives at risk... that would just be a drag

Maybe I have different morals, I don't think I was wrong whatsoever. Time to go in total dick-mode & not do shit for anyone involving a ride that way this doesn't happen again!!!

he does not owe you at all... but he could have atleast called you and check up on your

situation. Also you should have never paid for his phone. I say cut him off

You could have hit a pothole and had the same damage occur at any time - regardless of whether anyone was in the car with you. It isn't the other person's fault you hit a pothole - they did not cause the damage (unlike the situation where your child caused the damage to his phone).

And it was you who caused further damage by continuing to drive when you knew you had a blown tire. If you'd stopped when it happened and called AAA right away, you wouldn't have been out until 4 in the morning and you'd have had someone waiting wih you (unless your friend decided to walk home).

But then, you also wouldn't have as much to bitch about.

I understand your frustration, but the pothole could have happened anywhere, but I see your point. If you were not driving him home, you would not have encountered that particular pothole. Too bad you don't lived in the DC area, you would get reimbursed for your car damage done by potholes. But getting back to your question, were you wrong for getting upset. No, I don't think you were wrong being upset, I would have been, too. Where you made your mistake was taking the person home. If you really didn't want to do it, you should have refused. And then he didn't offer to help you change the tire? That would have shown me right then and there that the person didn't give a shit about your being inconvenienced. You drive his ass home and he goes in the house while you "drive accross the street to a gas station"? Why didn't you just change the tire where you stopped? And dude could have at least offered to let you wait for AAA in the comfort of his living room with some light refreshments.

You are so right, but this has been going on for years, having to drive him home after hanging out. I stopped hanging out with him for this reason. This particular night he was with my wife's cousin & showed up with him. My wife's cousin had a young lady with him who lived in the area that he did also, but he didn't want to take him home cause basically he was in the way of what might transpire between the two. This is where me being a friend got forced into taking him home. He text me an hour ago & that was to braek the ice as Friday is 2 days away...I'M NOT GETTING HIT WITH THAT SAME PUNCH AGAIN...and I shouldn't have to refrain from hanging out to avoid this scenario happening again either!!!

:lol:

My sentiments exactly!

After work, go to the liquor store, buy liquor and GO HOME to drink it. Problem solved.

Now you can get tispy after work in the comfort of your own home, no leechy friends bumming you for rides and you get to save on gas money and maybe not kill anyone driving after drinking.
