    Duh Chauffeuring Coworkers

    I work in a club where a lot of girls do not own their own cars. Some take cabs, but they’re expensive and our one and only cab company sucks and often doesn’t arrive on time (if at all). Most try to get rides from anyone who’s available. I was happy to offer rides to girls who needed it occasionally, but now there’s 2 girls who pretty much expect it from me every time I work. One lives clear on the other side of town from me. She usually gives me money for gas though, so I don’t mind giving her rides once in awhile. The other girl, however, really gets on my nerves. Her place is also already rather out of my way, and in addition, she always asks me to stop at the gas station on the way so she can get cigarettes. Then she wants to go through the drive-thru somewhere to get food. And almost every time, she afterwards tells me, “Sorry, I’d totally give you money for gas, but, yeah, I really didn’t make anything tonight.” She really grinds my nerves. I’m already going out of my way to give her a ride and then she wants me to stop at all these other places for her? And then after spending 10-15 bucks on cigarettes and food, she claims she doesn’t have enough left over to pay me for driving her around? There’s even been nights when I’ve given both girls a ride home, and after driving clear across town for girl #1, girl #2 wants me to go even farther out of my way to stop at a different place for food since “it’s right over here.” I’m not a fucking chauffeur. If I didn’t give these girls, or at least the second girl, rides, I could be home in only 10 minutes, no later than 3:30. Because of all this, I often don’t get home until close to or after 4am and I have class the next day! I offered rides because I felt bad for them, but now I regret it. The one girl is just taking so much advantage of it, and I don’t know how to say “no” now that I’ve offered so many times. On nights I work with them, I’ve started leaving as soon as I’m able, to hopefully be out of there before they’re done. But I hate leaving so early when there’s always so much money to be made at the very end of the night. They’re obviously able to find some other way home when I’m not around - why can’t they just do that?

    Put your foot down. Really, people treat you only how you let them treat you.

    Girl #2 is definitely gaming you.

    um, get rid of her? if you dont want to be rude to her just tell her nicely that you dont want to put the miles on your car and you cant afford it (whether its true or not). and wtf she doesnt pay you sometimes?? when you get ready for work, money for transportation should be already prepared especially when you dont own your own car. you dont tell the taxi driver when he drops you off that you dont have the money to pay him because you had a bad night. this girl is obviously not a friend of yours, this is a business transaction. she needs to pay you for what you do for her.

    she doesnt appreciate you or the ride shes getting to work. she should be thankful that she has transportation to work that isnt so costly.

    shes totally walking all over you, you need to put a stop to it. shes selfish and i cannot believe she spends so much on food and cigarrette without paying you?!?! what about YOU?

    seriously, get rid of her.

    i had a similar situation i work in a city about an hour away, i am very good friends with one girl and drive right past her house near the club so its no problem to stop for a second to let her jump in/out and she often insitsts on giving me money, i always try to shove it back but sometimes she shoves it in my ash tray and runs away, one day when we were leaving another girl asked me for a lift home, she said she lived right near my friends house(which was a lie) and she would also direct us properly(also a lie), anyways i ended up driving out of the city one way and had to drive back towards where i had just come from to drop my friend off, she got the roundabouts mixed up and told us to just take the second exit off the nearest roundabout but we got suspicious as it was really just a single track and turned back ,we would have ended up miles out and lost. afterwards i just told her straight afterwards that i couldn't take her home, she went wining to my friend(so out of order) and my friend also told her, you didn't direct us properly and its too far out so that's that!

    just put your foot down and tell her no, too far, she's not paying you enough and its a waste of your time and fuel,tel, them i've got classes in the morning and i'm so tired i need to get straight to bed, another excuse could be your boyfriend/girlsfriend/husband/housemate/dog gets angry of you come home too late!

    If your anything like me and have a hard time saying NO to other girls (It seems I have a sign on my back that says "chauffeur" when I'm a work) you can always make yourself more and more unavailable to them.
    I was always bothered for rides since my club is way out of town and since I could never just flat out say NO, I would always just say
    "I'm not going back to (insert area) tonight. I'm sleeping at (boyfriend/parents/best friend's) house tonight. Sorry"

    I started saying this more and more to one girl (who ALWAYS used me for rides and asked me to make stops) and sure enough she found another mode of transportation.
    Looking back I should have just said no and that she was wasting me time, but this did work for me. Good luck!!

    I've often wondered why so many entertainers don't have cars .. I know some may be travelling, but what about the rest? Is it due to the alcohol and not wanting to drive under the influence?

    I can't think of any other job I've had where at the end of the day, there's a line of taxis outside and everyone is trying to bum a ride... You make hundreds of dollars a night, why don't you have a vehicle??

    Right? I really don't get it. The first girl, I can kinda see - she's a single mom, and even though she's a top hustler, that basically means about $350-500 a night (my club is small). So I can see her going through the money quickly when she's still not "banking." But, then again, these girls are still making way more than most people who manage to save up for cars sooo... Idk lol

    Thank you guys for the advice. I think I'll start saying that I have to get home asap and don't have time to take them. It is bullshit that the second girl never pays me when she obviously would be able to scrape up the money if I wasn't around. I'm done with the freeloading.

    why don't you run down your petrol and when they ask for a lift home say something along the lines of "do you have petrol money because i only have enough petrol in my car to take me directly home?" then they'll either have to answer yes and cough up some £$£$£$£ and if they say no tell them "oh you'll have to catch a cab then because i need my money for other expenses".

    If it has to do with money tell them truth: "I've given you rides several times and you didn't even offer any gas money."

    If you really want to lay it out tell them you're not their mom and don't have time to cart them around all over town.

    Especially not offering you any gas money. They are acting like spoiled ungrateful brats. Did they even offer you a bag of Cheetos from the store? I doubt it. LOL

    Rides every now and then are favors unless you two are bff's or something. They should be reciprocating or make out a deal with you if they want to count on you as reliable transportation.

    If you don't want to give them rides because it's so damn late don't duck out on the money, just say you have to go straight home and wake up early.

    Don't let them take advantage of you, and you don't need to explain anything to them.

    If your giving someone a ride they should give you money out of respect. Also if these girls can't afford a cab they should reconsider working there

    BOTM is right. As soon as she approaches you in the dressing room for a ride, start screaming, wildly, GTFO! GTFO! GTFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
    Don't say get the fuck out, please. Say G-T-F-O. Loudly. And if you do some wild running around with a random object in your hand while saying this I think it ups the probability of her never asking again. I personally would choose a hot curling iron for this task.

    Good luck! Let us know how it goes down.

    For better or worse, buying a vehicle also means that the state motor vehicle dep't will report the purchase to the IRS ... who will in turn cross-check the new vehicle owner's past tax returns to compare the level of reported income. If the dancers who are scamming you for free rides are also scamming the IRS / taxpayers for a 'free ride', they CAN'T buy a vehicle without risking exposing their scam !

    Well, they might not drive at all for a variety of reasons, or they don't want to drive after drinking, even a few drinks? I could buy a car but I don't drive, in fact I'm horrible at it.
    But yeah, if another girl offers me a ride I'll definitely help out with the gas... her not doing so is fucking rude. You really should tell her off next time. But if you're super nice like me, I guess just invent some excuse, like you're too tired or idk.

    How much did u end up paying? I bought the car/insurance/tags in one night but my car was very cheap. To this day idk why the Guy I bought it from excepted so little because other than a few interior scrapes its perfect.

    LOL! I should totally do this! It would certainly scare people away. Snowcake is right... I really am just too nice. I hate saying no when someone totally expects me to do them a favor. So far, I've been out before them still at the end of the night. But at least I have some good excuses from here on what to say when it inevitably comes up.


    I guess I never thought that girls didn't buy cars so they didn't have to report it... but I guess it makes sense. Still... not my problem they don't pay their taxes...

    I wouldn't drive anyone around like that for any amount of money.. I can't believe you''re doing it for free. Sounds like you are being taken advantage of for being too nice by pushy bitches. It's ok to be mean to them and say no. They are not your friends.

    THIS!!!
    It took me like 3-4 weeks of 2-3 shifts a week at a slow-ish club and average income to buy a $3500 car.

    It's REALLY not that hard unless you've put yourself in a situation where you can barely afford your apartment or something.

    If you're not aggressive enough to just say no, tell the troublesome girl that you have an early class and have been having a hard time paying attention after getting home so late due to driving her home. That way you don't have to explicitly ask her for money if you're not comfortable with it, and it should still get her out of you hair since it's a legit reason.

    Yes, but these gals can save 2k-5k cash and just outright buy one ( I think IRS reporting would be done through a dealer for someone financing 5-10k or more ). Buying a cheapie car from an individual won't alert the IRS of any earnings that have not be reported. I think. At least .... the odds are substantially better buying through individual than through dealer anyway obviously. So ..... this shouldn't be an excuse for not owning a vehicle is what I'm saying.

    Don't let people take free rides. Just say something like " I have to start asking $5-$10 " or whatever. These girls are ridiculous for not offering ! I can't beleive they wouldn't offer gas $. People can be so stupid.

    When I worked in Va. Beach, I did gave plenty of rides...and I also charged for them.

    In the DR, I had a banner that said: "If you're wasted, ask Joey for a ride. Ten dollars can save your and someone else's life." It worked pretty decently.
