Employee Gives Coworker A Ride To Work, Finds Out She’s Been Offering Seats In Their Car To Other People

Carpooling is a great way to get to and from work. It’s friendlier to the environment, helps people get to work faster, and decreases traffic jams. Regardless, only about 8.5% of American workers carpool to work. Sometimes it can be unpleasant, and coworkers may be the culprits.

This person started offering to take their colleague to work after her car broke down. For a few weeks, everything was fine and dandy, but then the coworker started using the OP as a taxi: daycare drops, pharmacy runs, and even invitations to other coworkers to carpool. They never agreed to this, but later asked the internet whether they were the jerk in this situation.

“Let her get her own car and taxi people around,” the commenters wrote

The OP wasn’t the only one who had unpleasant experiences with carpooling
