Message: [QUOTE="ScooperNova, post: 6995566, member: 91549"] This is pretty dang simple. When you give someone a ride, you and only you decide when it's time to leave. If they disagree, you ask them if they have another ride home to be polite. If they say no, you tell them they might want to go ahead and rack up because this ship is sailing. If they still refuse, you chuckle and be on your merry way. EDIT: After reflection and reading some other replies, I may possibly tell them they have 15-30 minutes before their ride is gone. It kind of depends on the situation--do i have other plans? Is it getting late? Am I in a poor mood? I think giving them a small extension is beyond reasonable and shows compromise and loyalty in a friendship. This friend, however, doesn't sound like much of a good friend, but if this is an isolated episode, that lends more credence to the idea of a small time extenssion. If they are always acting this way, I'm probably not going to be in a compromising mood. [/QUOTE]
