The Ride That Never Happened: A Tale of Workplace Controversy

What started as a simple request for a ride home from work quickly turned into a heated debate about kindness, friendship, and workplace dynamics. Our protagonist, caught in the crossfire, found themselves defending their decision not to go out of their way for a colleague who, let’s just say, isn’t their biggest fan. From snide remarks about eating habits to unsolicited life advice, the colleague in question, Lisa, had a history of rubbing our protagonist the wrong way. So, was it really such a ‘jerk move’ to refuse the ride? Or was it a justified response to a relationship filled with tension and disrespect? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this…

NTA. Don’t be a personal Uber for entitled coworkers

“NTA, you’re not obligated to drive anyone. She needs to grow up.”

NTA- Saying “No.” is enough. Jim could’ve helped her.

NTA. She used peer pressure to manipulate you.

NTA. Golden rule: Treat people the way you want to be treated

Candy store dinner? NTA, but that’s a sweet excuse!

NTA. Shut down nosy coworker’s comments on your purchases

NTA – No need to be a superhero, let them adult

Lisa’s hypocrisy exposed! NTA for not giving her a ride

Annoying coworker gives unwanted advice, time to set boundaries

NTA for refusing to be Lisa’s chauffeur.

Stand up for yourself and shut down the gossip mill!

NTA- Nobody else could give Lisa a ride? Annoying coworkers!

NTA – No respect, no decency, let them chauffeur her

NTA. Jim and Rob are dumb. It’s normal to not do favors for people you don’t like.

Passive-aggressive coworker seeks drama, gets called out.

NTA. Lesson learned: be nice to others or face consequences

No obligation to give a ride to someone who mistreats you

Standing up for yourself against a nasty coworker

NTA for refusing Lisa’s request, Jim put you on the spot

You’re not the a**hole for setting boundaries.

When work relationships get complicated

Not the a**hole for not giving her a ride

You’re not responsible for her commute. Let her handle it.

NTA. Rob’s point makes no sense. “So you would do something for a friend but not a stranger?” Yeah…that’s kind of how it works.

Giving rides to coworkers: NTA if they’re respectful, walk otherwise

“I’d help a friend, not someone who doesn’t like me”

NTA. No obligation to provide transportation to coworkers.

Standing up for yourself and shutting down a rude coworker.

NTA: Stand your ground and ignore the haters. Your choice!

“Yea and she’s not my friend so why would I give her the friend’s treatment?” ‍♂️

NTA, she can get an Uber

Not liking her? Totally valid reason not to help! NTA

Surprised she didn’t ask you herself? Jim stepped in!

Refusing to give a ride, even if life’s at stake!
