My dude, this is clearly not the way. This guy had the audacity to ask his girlfriend to pay him for a ride, just because she would've paid the Uber driver that she'd normally have called, anyways. Um, what happened to helping your partner out and not expecting anything in return? This relationship's showing an alarming sign of going nowhere fast. You can probably imagine what folks had to say about the whole thing in the comments section.

    Font - AITA for not paying my boyfriend Uber prices for picking me up from work? I'm temporarily working somewhere else. It is £20 to get an Uber home. I used the app often enough that I get regular discounts up to 30%. My boyfriend offered to pick me up from work after I told him the price of the Uber sometimes. He got us home. It's a 30 minute ride, about 20 miles. Afterwards he asked me to pay him; I said fine I don't mind paying petrol costs. He said l'd have to give him £20 because he went

    Font - I told him l'd give him £10 which he wasn't happy about it. AITA for not giving him what I would give for an Uber driver? It's not like l'd pay the price of a Starbucks coffee if my BF made me a cup of coffee. 2.3k 793 ↑, Share

    Font - Your boyfriend heard you vent about Uber prices and his takeaway is "wait, I could be the one to profit here!" Do you want a partner who sees you as a source of income? NTA 5 Reply 4 2.1k 3 +

    Font - Knots90 · 3h NTA- you shouldn't have to pay your bf after he offered to pick you up. Whats the point of him picking you up vs. taking an uber when you are still going to spend the same amount. Your bf atleast in this instance sounds like a major jerk. I can see maybe giving him some money for his fuel, but aside from that I wouldn't give him anymore, I think id almost rather take an uber. G Reply 1 328 3 ..

    Font - SadderolderWiser · 3h Certified Proctologist [25] NTA and whoa, that is such a bad look for your BF. If he wants to get paid like an Uber driver, he can work there part time (not that drivers make what Uber charges you, btw.) It's a longish commute and you shouldn't expect him to regularly put himself out - just time-wise it's a lot if it's a regular thing - but him wanting to charge you a premium price is very very uncool.

    Handwriting - NTA Stick with Uber and throw the man away. At least with Uber there aren't hidden sneaky fees. If he wants to be paid like that, he should become an Uber driver. 6 Reply 1 82 3 ...

    Font - NoGuarantee3961 · 3h Partassipant [1] Yeah, usually friends don't get paid for helping you out, much less a boyfriend. He helps to save you money, not to become an u er driver. l'd give him the money, and nothing else next time he wants to get romantic....just say you don't want to impact your professional relationship.... 6 Reply 4 565 3 ..

    Font - youallsuck22• 3h I don't understand why he'd offer to drive you if it wasn't for free...? Don't get me wrong, I have driven my truck to help my bf do something work related but he always offers to reimburse me for gas since it had nothing to do with me.. which sometimes I accept since gas is expensive now and sometimes it's a long freaking drive but I don't expect him to pay me.

    Font - fluffyduckhair • 3h Partassipant [1] NTA. 1. As a business enterprise, this boyfriend chauffeur service should have been pre-negotiated. He shouldn't have offered to pick you up and then demanded money. 2. Is he really your boyfriend? 3. If you need some money why doesn't he just become an Uber driver? O G Reply ↑ 28 + ...

    Font - theonlykarine • 3h NTA, I would be curious to know what he spends his money on because l've known people on drugs to think these types of requests reasonable. Red flag. I bet he says all his ex's were "crazy". Also, if he didn't tell you he was going to need you to pay him before picking you up it's rather silly of him to think you would. 6 Reply 1 22 3 + ...

    Font - Shrek_Came_Out_In_01 · 3h Partassipant [1] NTA- it's important to note that Uber drivers don't make all of the money you spend on an Uber, a lot of it goes to a corporation (that's why, at least in the US, you should tip your drivers!!!!) so your bf is expecting an even higher pay than you'd give the driver. Also he sucks and you should dump him. G Reply 4 21 3 ...

    Font - cockgobbler69420 · 3h Certified Proctologist [24] NTA He offered to come get you, and I am gathering that he did not bring up payment until he got you home. Which is an AH move on his part. Conditional favors are the worst kind. I could understand him asking you to chip in for gas, but wanting to earn a small wage off of offering you a ride? NTA at all.

    Font - JudgeJed100 • 3h Colo-rectal Surgeon [49] NTA - that's not how a partner acts First of if he wanted money he should have said so, and how much, at the start Secondly, Uber costs that much because it's a service with additional stuff added on such as the feee they charge the driver Your boyfriend doesn't have that fee I genuinely cannot imagine charging my partner for picking her up at work I wouldn't even ask for petrol money unless I really needed it 6 Reply 1 12 3 ...
