That is not a bad thing, you just have to realize that most people will fuck you, and not in a pleasurable way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really.....When i first moved here I had like 500 gigs of wifi through Cable 1 because they had a monopoly over the internet in Southern OK.....It was like my house has a shitty phone plan....Imagine gaming, or watching a movie (well, you'd be ok if it fineshed buffering.) and your shit just cuts off....Stupidest service ever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insipid Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Give an inch, take a mile. I'm in a similar situation with my coworker and giving her rides home. The past two times, she invited people. I'm not a taxi driver. I'm giving her a bullshit excuse today, and in the future I'm not doing carpool shit unless I become friends with the coworker, which has happened in the past too at a different job and ended more amicably. I've been giving this woman rides because she complained to the boss that her uber fare was too expensive and he suggested asking me to help. I checked and she can learn how to use the bus, but she said she doesn't know how. Not my problem anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
