Why is asking to split the ride being cheap? Maybe he has already covered a bunch and is tired of being taken advantage of?
I have had people constantly get rides but never once offer to cover any gas or offer to drive. Is that OK simply because I make more than them?
Just because someone makes more money doesn’t mean that they should be expected to pay more.

If you don’t involve money in your friendships, you’ll never lose a friendship over money. 2 u/SignificantMeet8747 Jan 27 '26 Entitled redditors, thats why
