Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I’m in high school and my parents bought me a car and pay for the insurance but I’m left to cover the cost for gas. A lot of my classmates have been asking for rides but when I inquire about gas money they feel as if I’m being greedy since I don’t make payments or pay for insurance paying a bit extra for gas shouldn’t be a problem. Now I sympathize with them because due to budget constraints the school no longer provides transportation for students who live within 3 miles of the school. This means that some kids will walk this distance sometimes in single digit temperatures. That being said I’m often asked to go to someone’s house that is in the complete opposite direction of where I’m going and expected to do so without compensation. I’m taking time and using gas so I feel as if I should be compensated. If this was a friend then it’d be a different story but it’s usually complete strangers asking. Am I an asshole for denying rides and making kids walk in the cold?
