1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: Woo. The courtroom is O friend? What's a friend? It 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: is Kiki here with a bonus case in Kiki's court. 3 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,120 Speaker 1: You know, we do these cases only for the podcast, 4 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: and we do a new case every Monday on The 5 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: Fred's Show. So shout out to you for being a 6 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 1: part of the jury. And this case really made me 7 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 1: chuckle because it's so petty, but it's so relatable. Take listen. 8 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: It says, Kiki, am I wrong for asking my best 9 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: friend to start paying for gas money since I drive 10 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: her to work every day. My name is Nia and 11 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: I work at the same company as my best friend. 12 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: A few months ago, her car broke down and she 13 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: couldn't afford to get the repairs right away. I offered 14 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 1: to give her a ride to and from work until 15 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 1: she got things sorted out. At first, it wasn't a 16 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: big deal. We leave around the same time and she 17 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: only lives about eight minutes out of my way. But 18 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: here's the issue. It's been four months, she still hasn't 19 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: gotten the car fixed, and I have basically become her 20 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: personal uber driver. Oh hell no. It's gotten to the 21 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: point where she doesn't even ask. She just texts me 22 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: every morning and says I'm ready. That's funny. Last week, 23 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: my gas light came on while we were driving to 24 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: work and it caused us to be late, so she 25 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: stopped for gas. Okay, she got an attitude and said, 26 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: why didn't you get gas the night before? So I 27 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: snapped and said, because I was waiting on you to 28 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: offer to pay for it. Damn. We got into it 29 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: and I told her, listen, I need at least twenty 30 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 1: dollars a week if I have to keep picking you up. 31 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: She told me never mind, and she will find another 32 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: way to work and we haven't spoken all week. Am 33 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: I wrong? Whoo? First of all, no, you're not wrong. 34 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: You're not wrong because she, as your friend, should have 35 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: at least at the very least, offered to give you 36 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: gas money for picking her up and dropping her off 37 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: at work. And I understand you thought you were doing 38 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: it a good deed. You thought it was gonna be temporary. 39 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: But four months of driving her back and forth is 40 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: insane because I think people don't realize when you pick 41 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: up someone or when you carpool with someone, that whoever 42 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: is driving has to leave out earlier because they can't 43 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: be late for work and they have to add in 44 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: the time it will take to get you. They can't 45 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: go home straight from work because they have to drop 46 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,839 Speaker 1: you off. So even if she wanted to leave work 47 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: and go run errands, she has to consider what's going 48 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: on in her friends schedule. Like that is a lot 49 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: of pressure to put on someone to require them to 50 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: pick you up and drop you off. And if you 51 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: are gonna have someone do that, at the very least 52 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: offer them gas money in this economy, like you need 53 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: some gas, she needs gas money, girl, groceries are expensive. Hello. 54 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: I don't think you're wrong for asking her to give 55 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: you twenty dollars. I do think you should have communicated 56 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: it though way further in the beginning, Like you waited 57 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: four months and you waited until you guys gotten into 58 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: a little heated exchange to require her to give you money. 59 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: But like, I mean, she should have offered it a 60 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: long time ago. But you know, I think you should 61 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: have spoken up too earlier. Like if it was my 62 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: best friend on like the that first week, okay, I 63 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: would have driven her from Monday through Friday, and then 64 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: on that next Monday when she texts me I'm ready, 65 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: I would have said, girl, do you have some gas money? Okay, Like, 66 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: I'm not your uber driver. No. I think it's a 67 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: good deed that you were trying to do, and she 68 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: just unfortunately took took all advantage of your good deed 69 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: as a friend, and I hate that it had to 70 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: come up, you know where you guys got into a 71 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: little fight and you know, things turned left. I really 72 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: hope though, as your best friend, she'll get over it 73 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: and then come back to you and say, hey, you know, 74 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: here's a gift card for driving me. I really appreciated 75 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: I was wrong for, you know, getting snappy with you, 76 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: but I appreciate you driving me Like that's the lead 77 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: she can do at this point. So I don't think 78 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: you're wrong, but you know I'm not the jury. So 79 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: let me know what you think.
