It isn't a big problem, it's privileged white guy from western civilization problem.
Basically, I'm meeting with friends tonight, I'm the only one who can drive and as I expected would happen, if I don't take people home in my car I'll look like a mean spirited bastard, on the other hand I hate it that people who live 15 minutes out of my way expect me to drive them right to their house.
So here are my options.
1) Give everyone a ride home, stop being mean, the downside to this is that we meet every week, so will I be expected to do this every week? And give every single person a drive home?
2) Pretend I caught the bus, I'd have to park somewhere, hide my car, which is pretty low, and it's like something from a sitcom, I'm bound to get caught out.
3) Just say no, and refuse to give everyone a ride home.
4) Just actually get the bus, it means waiting in the cold for a bit and some walking.
There's probably some inbetween options like just give them a ride this time then next time ask for petrol money?
Have a drink in the afternoon, then everyone needs a taxi.
