I must be getting old but I just can't stand that bs anymore.

And you aren't even giving genuinely needed help, you're a convenience and that's different.

They can walk or get a bus or get uber. Asking for a lift , I can't even imagine it. Unless it's hospital and even then I would expect them to make an effort.

Exactly, I never ask anyone for a lift because I always feel so bad. But these people have absolutely no problem doing so. As a child, my mum was very paranoid about safety and was a SAHM so I had the privilege of being driven around, and expected that I was meant to do the same thing for others.

I know people aren't raised the same way, and not everyone has the same level of agreeableness. It still just baffles me.
