Mom refuses to pick up her 10-year-old daughter’s friend from camp after his dad failed to reply to any of her confirmation messages: ‘I didn’t feel comfortable taking his child’
On what occasions should you take responsibility for somebody else’s kid? As much as we might love kids, most of us don’t want to be held responsible for the safety of a kid who is not ours. Kids are a lot of work, and can easily, even way too easily, get hurt, lost, or many …

Carpooler demands coworkers clock out early so she can attend son’s medical appointment, gets offended when they make alternative travel arrangements: ‘No way our managers would let us leave 45 minutes early for someone else’s child’

Mom refuses to continue driving her coworker home after she made her 20 minutes late for picking up her 7-year-old son from after school care: ‘The daycare charged me a $25 late fee’
If there’s one thing I hate, it’s tardiness. I’m not talking about someone being late once, but rather chronic lateness that persists without resolution. I know that every time I hang out with one friend that shall remain nameless, the train is not running 20 minutes behind, despite their claims. They chose to leave when …

Employee complains that she doesn’t have a car to drive to and from work, assumes that her coworker will drive her home despite living in the opposite direction: ‘Some coworkers think I was inconsiderate’
One of my best friends is constantly getting ride offers. She lives in a less-than-walkable city with mediocre transit options, but she is lucky to live a 15-minute walk from her place of employment. She owns a car but would rather walk for 15 minutes than drive for 3 minutes every day. I’d venture to …

Entitled coworker pressures pregnant carpool driver to ask her husband to drive her to work when she’s out on maternity leave: ‘He should because it’s his fault that I have to go out of work because he got me pregnant’
Running a carpool can either be fun or miserable. I was very happy to drive my high school sweetheart to school our senior year because they literally lived a 1-minute drive away from me. I got to hang out with them every morning, get angry at the local radio hosts together, and get socialized for …

There are so many things this coworker could have done to avoid these consequences. Apparently, she had been getting a free ride to work with this Redditor for over a year, and this didn’t seem to bother OP because it was on their way to work. Still, a very generous offer that in and of …
