Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : So this summer me and some friends went on an excursion to a music festival. We were about 6 hrs away so we drove. One of my friends (driver) offers to drive us with his vehicle, so long as we pay for gas (all good). On the way there we had must’ve been too close to the vehicle in front of us on the highway and had a small rock hit and chip the windshield. None of us actually noticed it at the time until one of my friends (passenger) pointed it out. We went on and enjoyed our weekend.

Fast forward to driving back home from the festival, the chip transforms into a small crack along the bottom of the windshield, shitty, but don’t think much of it.

Now fast forward to today, nearly half a year later. Me and the 2 other passengers receive a text message from the driver asking for us to help pay for the windshield replacement that he had done because he felt it was not fair that he should pay for all of it (keep in mind we hadn’t heard a word about it in ~6 months).

Am I the asshole for thinking we should not have to pay for the windshield simply because we were in the vehicle at the time of the crack?
