Sunday School meets real life.We do our best
I'll look into it, for now I like the idea of me and my wife as drivers, so it doesn't matter much to me.Anyone can drive your car in New York? It’s called permissive use.
If your insurance agent is telling you different, tell them to review the law.
In college, a friend of mind wanted to carpool. Or rather be shuttled since he didn't have a car. He paid what we agreed upon so no problem there but he had a problem being ready when I came to get him and our class schedules weren't completely in sync. I was a computer student so on days I had to wait for his classes to end, I'd be in the lab, or would be working on homework in the library if I didn't need computer time, but he started to complain on having to wait on me when my schedule ran late. After a month of that I suggested that we end the arrangement and that was that.At my first job I was in a carpool with 4 other people, and I was the only one who had a car. The straw that broke the camel's back was a woman blamed me for missing work, and my jerk boss also blamed me. The reality is she wasn't there when I went to pick her up, probably too high from the night before.
If we think there are jerks today, I can assure everyone that 35 years ago they had free rein. For example, deciding if PTO were approved or not (for an hourly grunt this meant no pay and not being able to use one's time).
I'm the only one of my friend's that has a larger car and I let them take my car whenever they want, as long as they leave one for me only because I completely trust them.

But in your case, no. By not learning his lesson, your friend is taking advantage of you by constantly asking for your help. At this point, he almost expects you to help him.
"Friendships....relationships....communities all involve sharing of duties...responsibilities...benefits." Bernie...is that you? I thought you lived in Vermont. Could be Karl Marx, but he's dead...Sunday School meets real life.
FYI:
Friendships....relationships....communities all involve sharing of duties...responsibilities...benefits.
"What's in it for me" is merely one part of fairness.
Skip the "We're better (holier) than you", posts.
They sicken me.
You know darn well there are users and selfish and thoughtless people in Texas.
@Capt W look up the word enabling. How many times would you lend your truck out because your friend won't maintain it properly because if the OP does it it won't be one time only
If this is your measuring stick, it's actually sad. We should help one another out of love and concern, not "What's in it for me?" This statement is the epitome of selfishness.
While I agree with what others are saying about not doing this, I'm not sure how one can deliberately or otherwise melt a bulb housing. It's meant to be on for hours at a time. I think this damage was likely coincidental.
Really depends.
If it’s my friends lively hood this question would never come up.
If it was my good buddy where we each do a bunch for another and it was the difference between getting a dream car or truck for a good deal that couldn’t wait. Yeah I would. And when this particular friend I wouldn’t worry twice about it. In fact the truck would prob come back with more fuel in it than it started.
Depends upon the person really.
Let me rephrase my comment. The question would never come up because if a friend of mine relied on a truck to make money they’d surely have their stuff sorted out and the question would never come up.while this trailer business is his only income, frankly it’s just his poor planning and constant “need it done right now” mentality all while he doesn’t have his ducks lined up. I have no issues running the trailer for him if it’s my day off but he expects me to take a day off for him? At this point it’s like what do I get out of it if I’m offering up that much. My boss does not like people who he cant depend on(I’ve seen people get dropped for no shows and constant callouts because it’s shift work and one missing person means everybody else takes up the slack). It’s my livelihood vs buddy’s.
And with that being said, it’s not like he needs to sell the trailer today. Buyer agreed to come by next weekend. Buddy just wants the deal done asap. While I get the urgency, there’s other ways about it.
