Coworker Ride Entitlement Drama Explodes at Office

This coworker ride entitlement story has me absolutely furious. A 28-year-old woman gave her new coworker Sara ONE ride to a bus stop during a rainstorm, and Sara immediately decided she now had a permanent chauffeur.

The very next day, Sara showed up at her desk at quitting time with her bag, saying “Ready to go?” Like excuse me? When did we establish a carpool arrangement? The audacity is breathtaking.

Sara started waiting by the door every day, texting “Leaving now?” and getting cold when rides weren’t offered. She never offered gas money or even asked politely – just expected free transportation like it was owed to her.

The breaking point came when Sara demanded a ride to the mall – 25 minutes in the opposite direction. When told no, Sara replied “Wow. Okay” and then told other coworkers that she’d been promised help and was betrayed. She literally spread lies around the office because someone wouldn’t be her personal Uber driver.

The comments nailed it – this coworker ride entitlement behavior needed immediate HR intervention. Sara was building a false narrative and creating a hostile work environment over free rides she was never promised.

People like Sara see one act of kindness as a binding contract for unlimited favors. The manipulation is gross – using office gossip to pressure someone into free labor because you can’t handle basic adult transportation.

This woman did absolutely nothing wrong, but Sara’s entitlement turned a simple “no” into workplace drama.
