Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : For about a month and a half, I've been giving rides to an airman friend who is medically restricted from driving, meaning he requires accommodation to get from home to his work on an air force base. He's currently divorcing his wife, who is also my best friend, and as such she's moved into a different house (and I moved with her - we lived together already, anyway). I wasn't working for a bit, but I still woke up early to make sure he had a ride to base, and picked him up from base when he was done (two round-trips, about 18 miles each, mostly on my own dollar - he only offered to fill my tank once in the month and a half, and that was after I had a bit of a financial crisis and bitched about it).

I recently started a new job which runs from 8 in the morning to 4 at night, and the location for this job is on the opposite end of town (an hour long drive from the base). I told him that I would still try to get him to work so he isn't left in the dust and doesn't get into trouble. He said he would like to be there at 0530 to do his required PT before his shift, which I agreed to, but told him that this would only be viable for about a week. (I also advised another mutual friend of this situation and he said he might be able to give rides on certain days, but didn't necessarily say what days.) This meant I had to wake up at 4, rush to get ready, drive to his place, pick him up, drive him up to the base, then drive to work (with not really enough time in between to get any more sleep). I completed my first day of work and was exhausted the rest of the day, but still intended on sucking it up for this week to give him time to look for other accommodations beginning next week.

Today, I still woke up at 4am, still extremely tired, and drove to pick him up. I arrive and message him saying that I am there. No response. I send another message and wait another 10 minutes, with no response. I call him, he answers and after saying that I was outside waiting for him, he tells me that (other friend) was supposed to give him a ride later that morning, and that I should have known. I told him that I wasn't made aware of this, he said "oh shit, well sorry" and offered to compensate for the lost gas. I said "alright" and hung up the phone.

I angrily took my exhausted self back home, made breakfast and tried to rest before having to leave for work an hour later. Once I composed myself I checked my messages to see another apology. I told airman friend that instead of paying me for gas that he needs to get a bus pass and that I won't be providing rides anymore.

AITA for cutting him off?
