‘I’ve probably spent well over $1500 in gas over the past two years’: Colleague stops giving coworker free rides to work after coworker refuses to lend them $1 at the office vending machine

They always tell you not to mix business and pleasure. How about business and convenience? Carpooling is a great way to lessen the costs of gas and lower your rate of CO2 pollution, so it's a win-win for your wallet and the planet. Well, sometimes, just for the planet. If you decide to start driving your coworker to and from work every day, you should establish from the jump that some shared gas costs should suffice for your role as the chauffeur in this agreement.

If you don't, you might realize that this coworker will take advantage of your loyalty and kindness and also refuse to reciprocate when you need theirs the most. Such is the case in this next story, where an employee asks a coworker they drive to work if they can borrow a single dollar bill to grab a soda from the office vending machine. Their coworker adamantly refuses. If that's the game they want to play, this employee is a pro. Scroll below to read the entire story and reactions from commenters.
