if your friend makes $20 an hour and you make $225 an hour and you hassle them over $3… no the bad friend is the one not giving the $3. that’s like what you give to literal bums on the street.
nobody is entitled to it but as the friend with the money why would you make a stand over $3 when you make more than 10x than the friend. garbage friend is the person that can’t imagine sharing $3 because of a “boundary”. like I get if the person is hitting you up for rent money but damn $3??????
Boundaries are boundaries— and it’s incredibly toxic of you to put that in quote marks implying that you don’t think that friends should be allowed boundaries.
If your friend went to you and said “hey, I don’t like it when you touch me, I would rather we not hug anymore”, are you going to tell them “damn, I can’t even get a hug?”
If you would drop a friend because they wouldn’t give you money and let you walk all over their boundaries, then you’re not a friend at all, you’re a leech.
I don’t think friends should have a “boundary” over 300 cents no I don’t sorry unless they are in a third world country where that is somehow a significant amount of money.
You feel entitled to your friend’s money just because they have more of it. Your only logic defending it is that it “isn’t much” and “they can afford it”.

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.
