Am I obligated to do this?

[wslee00]

up to you man - but i'd do it and let friend know that i'm doing him a favor - make sure he knows this is an inconvenience for you

[Ctrl.Dominate]

Just man up and say you don't want to do it if that is the case. Planning a flight and having to rely on someone that you are renting a room to is lame unless you guys are pretty close friends.

Really depends on how good of a deal you're getting on rent imo.

[TonyDanza]

take him, don't make a big deal out of it, and feel good about yourself. it really shouldn't be a big deal to do favors for people you like/respect.

[ckboddic]

I guess the main thing holding me back is that he can be taken earlier just as easily...so not sure why I should even be brought in to the whole discussion..

I know I'm probably making too big a deal out of it but there goes three hours I won't get back when I have a lot going on tomorrow already.

dude, this is a free ticket for when you [censored] something up in the house. do it.

[wadea]

Are you just hoping OOT will let you off the hook?

You: No, I can't drive your Pops. I a little busy with stuff I can do later.
Friend: That's a pretty douche move, bra.
You: Nuh-uh. My innernet friends said I don't have to.
Friend: [laughs] Oh, for a second there I thought you were serious. That's bra.

You know that guilty feeling you are having? It's your conscience telling you what is right.

You know that voice telling you that you don't have to do this and it's just as good for the dad to be driven to the airport 3 hours early? That's your human nature contradicting everything that is right.

The right thing here is to help other people and not just yourself. This is obviously important to these friends of yours otherwise they wouldn't ask. I assume they know how much time it takes to get to the airport & back and would appreciate your help.

I can't believe your roommate / his dad would even ask you to drive 2-3 hours to drop him off at the airport when they could take care of it themselves. ESPECIALLY when you live in the house he owns, which makes you feel more obligated to do so.

[DrewDevil]

It would be nice of you to do this, but this is a pretty big favor to ask, IMO. I don't think roommate or roommate's dad would have any right to be ticked off if you said no.

But people don't always act rationally.
