what would you do...before christmas I gave a person who has not been working with us for long a lift to work and a lift home as it was rainning but I had to go out of my way to do this...I bumped in to her when out shopping in the rain and said I'l pick you up as its rainning save you getting wet today this was 2 weeks ago ..she just text me saying see you at normal place for pick up tommorrow..how cheeky is that..know what i'd like to text back...

Tell her you'll have to come to some arrangement regarding payment as it is out of your way...might make her think.

I would, did you get offer of petrol money
or a thank you

make her walk

just say yep but you will have to chip in petrol, if you do x cheeky mare

no she not offered petrol money but dont want this as a regular thing as I get caught in traffic she walks some times takes her 40 mins dont now how I'm gonna get out of this one

Or ask her to meet you where it is convenient to pick her up as your passing....beit at the carpark gates..or just tell her you are not going that way...its out of your way...

Then text her saying sorry, you don't mind on the odd occasion but not as a regular thing due to traffic and not being on your route as well as the extra cost!

Or you wouldn't like to spoil her fitness regime re walking to work! lol

I know what I'd say

you help some one out and they take the mick its alright meeting her on way but when she's soaking wet dont know if I could keep a straight face lol ..

LOL, is that cheeky or what
i'd tell her sorry it's out of my way
i only gave you a lift as it was raining.

yer will have to ...will run out of work tomorrow so dont have to take her home...I know I'm a coward..lol

pretend you didnt get the text

I think you have to nip it in the bud. Be honest with her. Tell her you don't mind doing it occasionally as a favour but that it is not convenient (you don't have to give a reason) for you to do it all the time.

I not answered it yet did think of that ..

Tell a lie! Say you have a job to do in the morning and so can't pick her up!

It's amazing isn't it you do someone a good turn then end up with the embarrassment of trying to get out of the situation?

I think you would have had more of a problem if she had asked you politely......this way she just comes across as rude, and taking you for granted....

....afraid this sometimes happens to me, you do not mind doing favours, its when its EXPECTED of you that it wrankles.....

.....they are right.....nip it in the bud now.....she is trying it on......not even asking you face to face....cheeky beggar.....they trust on you being too nice to refuse them.....but sometimes you have to.....if it is inconvenient in any way to you, you will end up resenting her..... good luck x

think I'L just get bus from now on it would be easier

That's an idea too Julie, inconvenient, but shows her you are not there for her convenience......
