[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is totally unreasonable for them to ask. If I regularly give a person a ride in my car then I have plans to go out of town for a couple of weeks , it isn’t reasonable the person asks to borrow my car. They can go get a rental car.

Your house is an asset and you can rent it for probably $1000 for a spring weekend. Friends wouldn’t ask for a $1000 so why do they think it is ok to use something worth $1000.

It is a slippery slope. Once you say yes these friends will continue to pester you. Just say it is being rented off the books 📚 n case they can see the online schedule of when it is rented through a booking agency. [/quote]

Disagree. It’s not wrong for a person to ask for anything. You and OP think it’s wrong because you can’t manage your feelings around the ask. This board has post after post about it. You can simply say no. It’s up to you to manage your feelings, and if you have anger issues around it, or feel uncomfortable about it, that’s really on you.

Case in point: OP clearly wants to say no, but she’s created a ton of drama about it and is asking people if her friends are the “bad guys” because SHE can’t bear to be the “bad guy.” Which is silly because her friends may not think that, and if they do, then it’s their problem. [/quote]
