When you work closely with people you see every day, it's natural that you find yourself closer to them than you expected. The closer you get, the more comfortable you become with one another, for better and for worse. It's nice, having people you think of as friends with you at work every day, but they can also take advantage of that closeness. They can ask you for favors, or even demands, using your "friendship" as an excuse for why you should help them out.

Take the employee in the story below as an example. She has no problem asking her coworker for rides to work, and even demands they she take her daughter as well. She basically treats her coworker like a personal Uber, except she doesn't even offer to pay her or show any gratitude in return.

The situation reached a boiling point when the entitled employee kept demanding rides even on days her coworker wasn't even working. This led the coworker to decide to sever this 'friendship' and even pushed her to start looking for a different job.

    WIBTAH if I told my coworker I couldn’t give her or her daughter rides anymore?

    I (21f) have this one coworker (35f) that basically relies on me to get to work.

    She also has a daughter (16) who she also wants me to pick up from work and she works at a different job than we do.

    My coworker goes on and on about how she doesn't like feeling used because of her kindness but I feel like she's doing the same thing to me.

    In the past several months I've never received a dime from her. I've asked why she doesn't take public transportation to work and she said she doesn't like taking the bus.

    She'll take the bus after work but not before work which confuses me. Sometimes she'll stay at work later if I'm working and then ask for a ride home because the buses don't run past a certain time.

    They're about to change my schedule to where I wouldn't come in until over an hour after she does and I don't want to sit in the parking lot for over an hour waiting on my shift.

    ol at She texted me on my 21st birthday asking me if I could pick up her daughter from work (she knew it was my 21st as we had been counting down the days until I could sell al my job) and I told her "I can't, you know it's my 21st birthday I'm at dinner with my family and then we are going bar hopping" she kinda got upset about me not being able to do it.

    She told me the following Monday after my birthday that her daughter was complaining that I was "MIA".

    I told her "I don't think I've been MIA as I'm not in a combat zone.

    But I've got a life outside of work and playing uber for people. I'm in my 20s I'm single and my parents told me I need to live my life to the fullest so I don't look back and have regrets." WIBTAH if I stopped giving them rides?

    Edit: I've been applying to work elsewhere that will give me more hours and I got a message that a company that I applied for wanted to interview me tomorrow.

    So it si <s for her but she's definitely losing the ride if I get this new job.

    I mean she's already lost the ride but let's see how she reacts to me leaving the job

    Decent_Bed_ She is 100% taking advantage of you just because you're young and less likely to say no. Her kid is almost your age. She 100% knows what she's doing. > My coworker goes on and on about how she doesn't like feeling used because of her kindness And she's projecting. Selfish assholes and narcissists do that.

    OP External-Air-2064 Her kid has also called me old to my face when she's only 4 years younger than me

    NTA JennSmith19 Tell her you're no longer available to transport her or her daughter as your shift/hours are changing. Tell her now and be firm. Her child is not your responsibility, nor is it your responsibility to get her to work on time.

    Old-Assistance-2017 NTA, you are not uber. You are not her personal chauffeur. She can deal with it like an adult. Stop trucking around her and her daughter.

    Minisquirrelturds No. Absolutely not. Hold your ground, but also be alert that your coworker maybe vindictive so maybe tell a manager.

    HellaShelle NTA. The schedule change sounds like it's coming at the perfect time to help you reinforce the stoppage.

    NTA lychigo She is 14 years older than you and she can't adult enough to get herself a ride or her daughter? You do NOT owe them a goddamned thing. Let her know that you can't give her a ride anymore, and if the bus isn't running, she can call an uber. I would be careful about saying it's because you'll be on a different shift, because she might try to go on your same shift. Just be like "I can't today, sorry" over and over and over and over until she asks someone else.

    aquamarine1029 Stop being a doormat, op. Tell her no more rides and it doesn't matter if she likes it or not. She's not your friend and she's a user.

    ncjr591 Just ignore her and her daughter. If she asked say the free rides are over and you need to figure things out
