Okay I was talking on the phone with my good female friend last night. There was a snow/ice/sleet storm last night which made roads rather slick and treacherous(I drove most of the way home in 1st gear, that's how scary the roads were! lol). She was telling me about how she had to pick up her boyfriend "Dave" from work later that night.
I asked her if Dave has a car. Dave is 19, one year older than my friend. She said no, but he's been working a lot and saving up money to get one. Admittedly he does have a legit job, doing custodial work at their area's public schools. I warned her not to give him too many rides, since I did that before with my ex Dipshit(you might recall him from other threads), and that just resulted in him saying, "Why do I need to buy a car, when YOU drive me around everywhere?" in a very cocky voice in front of our mutual friends. I just don't want my strong, outgoing friend to soften up for some guy and then have the guy take advantage of her kindness.
She responded, "Well, he should be getting a car in the near future hopefully. If anything, I'm doing MYSELF a favor by driving him to work, because by getting him to work, he'll be able to earn money and buy a car, so then I won't have to drive him anymore. That'll be a favor to me." WHAT?! "Not having to give rides" isn't a favor...it's a given, a right! Perhaps she meant that Dave will be able to give HER rides when he gets his car, but I really cannot see that happening, especially since Dave works the 3pm-11pm shift cleaning the high schools, and my friend has her college classes from 6pm-9:15pm.
What do you guys think about this? Overall Dave seems like an easygoing, decently cool guy...but I've seen a LOT of guys turn out to mooch slightly. Maybe I'm wrong? Feedback?
