I am so frustrated with some of my neighbors just because I have a car they think I am supposed to be their chaffeur. I keep telling them I don't have the gas to take them all over and I need the money upfront. there are times I am in the middle of something or doing something with mike that one person comes over and asks can you take me here, no mention of money and I am like nope can't do it. then she has the audacity to call me and say can you take me to winn dixie. now winter haven doesn't have a winn dixie only haines city and auburndale. when I am cleaning or something and have my own groceries to get and bill paying that I have to do right away that day I told her I can't do it. she says when you change your mind I will be here, often I leave time open just in case MIL has to go to the hospital or there is an emergency and she needs mike and I.
 
now I have another person asking me to take him to get his belongings out of his car, he would pay for gas, but I told him I have no idea where his car is and I am not driving all over creation to get it. get this he wanted me to find out where the car was. I am like mike that is not my responsibility for that is not my car. I didn 't let someone drive it without a driver's license and get it impounded. I am not going to look for the towing service that has it. for I am not driving over to auburndale and back and forth. neighbor wanted to go today but I didnt feel good the dogs had me up all night. now its tuesday and mike and I are going to vote and maybe to haines city. the gas I have in my car has to wait till mike's check comes in and rent is paid. I refuse to drive folks around without payment up front for gas and I am not dropping them off and then picking them up later when they aren't where they say they are going to be that is a waste of gas driving around in circles looking for them. I had to get this off my chest...

I wouldn't give them a ride until they paid up front, for that is not right that they take advantage of you. I had one friend that kept doing that and I asked her when was she going to drive me since she had a car. she replied I can't don't have the gas money. I am like well what do you think that I don't have all the time, she finally apologized saying that she was selfish. I forgave her but she has paid and so have I when we both share the rides together.
