So I (26NB) am the only person currently in my immediate surrounding with a car and license. My partner’s (30M) sister (25F) currently doesn’t have a car. Her last car was impounded for fines she didn’t pay. (For context, i’m not leaving someone incapable of driving, FAaFO.) Anyways, she asked me to bring her into town a couple days ago to get groceries. I don’t mind helping where it counts, but there’s a limit. The long and short is she asked me if I could help her friends who were stranded first. She gave me a town name, which was just under an hour from my location. So, I agree, given i’ll be compensated; and the friends are chill. Apparently as i’m driving and we’re almost to said town, she says it’s actually a different town. She claimed she didn’t know, but that’s on her to communicate. It’s not a small difference, either. It took me an extra 2 hours to and from. So when I finally got back homeward, I dropped her off at the store and then told her I wasn’t bringing her home (which is roughly 30 minutes away) because I was exhausted from the unexpected 3 hour detour. She managed to find someone to drive her within 5 minutes. Her friend, S (40F) is now mad at my partner and basically telling him to ‘talk some sense into me’. So, I just gotta know, AITAH here?
Who cares what her friend thinks? Who cares what she thinks?
If these people want car transportation they better get a licence and a vehicle or simply employ their own chauffeur.
NTA but did you really need to ask?
I just figured I would since my partner is a little upset about it. He’s allowed to be, I just wanted to get my side out for a little reassurance.
He should be upset…
Upset that a friend of his sister bothered him with her attitude…
If he’s upset with you then over this you have way bigger problems ahead of you as a couple.
