Question

The part that would piss me off isn't even the $50. It's the lack of respect. He clearly doesn't respect you enough to show up on time.

that's the part that pissed me off too, but i'm glad i got it out here on the forum, made me think that this might be karma for the times when i used to be a flake...i can see how it would piss people off and wonder how many times i pissed someone off and they let it go:shrug:

When I fly I drive myself to the airport and pay to park. Why depend on anyone to do something so meaningless for you when you can just do it yourself???

I'm the type of person who if they say they'll be there at 9pm, I'll be there at 8:45, 8:50. I think it's COMPLETELY disrespectful to tell someone you will be somewhere(especially when it's this important) and to show up late. It would piss me off if I were you.

Yeah, he doesn't have to help you out. Yeah, you shouldn't have to rely on him. But if someone tells you they're gonna do something and they'll be on time, then they should do it.

:0074 this is me too

although if I have a friend that needs a ride to catch a flight I will take them be on time and not ask for anything in return:shrug:

I think the cheapest is $12 so it's definitely worth it especially in the winter.

I asked a friend last night to take me to the airport for this morning's flight

He showed up late this morning to pick me up, and I had to pay a 50 dollar change fee to book a later flight

50 bucks isn't anything

but it's bothering me that he didn't offer to pick up the tab or at least split it

What would you do?

let it go and just eat it

ask him to pay half

ask him to pay the full

I would just eat it. If he apologized that would be enough. If he didn't I would be pissed at him though. I still would have bitched at him for awhile but if he didn't say he was sorry, I would have let him really have it.

Day 7. No smokes no booze. If I make it through today I'll make it through until next Saturday.

But it's only 1:45 and the wolf pack has already started howling... (my boys)

We will see.

You need to surround yourself with people who aren't drunks. Not to be rude or anything but you will fail otherwise. Or maybe find time to see them when you know they won't be drunk as hell.

Did you ask why he was late? What was his excuse? Maybe he was dealing with some major issues. I doubt a friend would mess you over on purpose.

Close to same thing happened to me recently. I had a back up plan. The past 10-15 years have taught me not to "DEPEND" on many to do what you want them to :nono: , so when I realized the guy was going to be late, I called another "friend", who I had already told to be my back up plan.
I'll never ask the first guy again, but no use losing an acquanitence over it. If I'd do that everytime, I'd run out of people to talk to in a small town. :sadwave:
As for leaving my car at home, I do it as a safety precaution to make people think I'm still at home.:0008
