    called me up and said the exact words: "You have to pick me up". This was before he had his own car and license(around 18). His job was on the other side of town (a full 30-40 min drive

    or more depending on traffic) and it was at 4:30pm just before hectic work traffic at 5pm. If I had refused to get him he would have called either of our parents and

    whined until I was bitched at to go pick him up. Understanding the box I had been put in, a grinch-like smile grew across my face as I made up my mind.

    What did I do? I picked him up, and then made three stops along the way home. Three long stops...

    The first was at a gas station, I had been low on gas and he couldn't complain cause I was his only ride. At the second stop, I pulled in at a restaurant to eat inside (Tijuana Flats).

    Around 6:15pm-6:20pm, when we finally got home he complained like a to our parents (Grandma and Dad), but when my dad got home from work he just laughed,

    Traveler MSY 14 hr. ago Brilliant. Make sure every ride you give them takes longer than the bus. Maybe he will make better choices next time.
