Re: Give and Take Ethical Question
The only reason 'no' is getting votes is because of the word, 'make' in your question. Of course you shouldn't make him or demand money for gas. Dropping a hint, accepting if he offers, or looking for a couple drinks on him are all easy yes answers to your question.

Re: Give and Take Ethical Question
I would't make him but I would be very upset if he did not offer or buy me dinner or something.

I wouldn't ask but I'd certainly expect him to offer (and take the money). If he didn't offer, or buy beer, or pick up a bill at a restaurant, or any sort of "thank-you" gesture, I probably wouldn't drive him the next time. [/ QUOTE ] |

Re: Give and Take Ethical Question
I would not make him pay for gas, but he should offer to pay for half anyway.

Re: Give and Take Ethical Question
It's pretty standard for the other kid to pay for part of the gas, and he probably expects to. So just ask.

Re: Give and Take Ethical Question
I voted no. I would not ask, or make, my friend pay for gas. However if I was the friend, and I was hitching the ride, I would offer to pay for ALL of the gas.

Re: Give and Take Ethical Question
There are three ways you can be certain never to have to face this problem.
* 1. Don't go to college - but if you must go to college . . . 2. Do not get a car - but if you must have a car . . . * * * 3. DO NOT RETURN HOME ! * * If none of these work try getting a bumper sticker that was popular back in the late 60's and early 70's . . . ASS, GRASS OR GAS - BUT NO FREE RIDES. * OK - seriously ? If your friend has any class he will offer to pay for at least half; the theory that the "right side of the car must go everywhere the left side goes" does have some merit. - And as soon as the major airlines adopt this approach I will do likewise. |
