is this too biitchy?

a co-worker's H passed away and the wake is today from 10:30-12:30 only.  I plan to go.  Today another co-worker asked if I was going and then asked if he could ride with me.  My response was ahhhhh...ahhhh...I guess.  He responded that it was ok if I didn't want to and then he walked away.  I really don't want to bring him, it's only about a 15-20 minute ride, but I hate trying to make small talk, I just want to crank my radio and drive fast down the highway. 

Would I be a total biitch if I e-mailed him and told him I prefer to go alone?

Re: is this too biitchy?

  • Personally, I probably wouldn't. I think it's okay to say no in the moment but less okay to email after the fact and change your mind, especially email and not face-to-face.

  • Yeah I'd just suck it up.

  • Yeah that's a little too biitchy.

    I'd just take him. It'd be different if he wanted a ride to mcdonalds.

  • i hate when people do this. its so awkward and when i want to say no i feel like i shouldn't so i say yes (like you did) and then regret it.  i would probably just suck it up at this point.

  • if you're going from work to the wake and then back, yeah, I guess I find it odd that it's a problem to take someone else.  I'd actually expect as many coworkers to try and ride together as possible.

  • ok, I know you guys are right so I'll take him.  Would it change your mind if you knew he was a creepy 66 year old man?  meh, I'll do it. 

    Oh, and as far as I know it's just the two of us going and possibly one of the VP's.

    you could always ask your VP, if the two of you could ride with him/her.....

  • I think you probably have to just suck it up.  If you try to get out of it, your excuse needs to include another errand or reason why you are not going straight there/back.

  • I was hoping this post was abou you throwing another drink at someone.

    I would say there is no way to get around this. It sort of makes me sad he said that he understood if you didn't want to go with him and you let him walk away. I am too sensitive and probably would have felt really bad and chased after him saying of course you can, no problem. But I am weird and always feel guilty.

    So yea I think unless you have an excuse to give him for not going right back to work you have to suck it up here.

  • I never knew Mashed was such a heartless cvnt_!

  • ok, we just got back, the drive wasn't as horrible as I imagined.  and I'm not completely heartless!  I teared up talking to my co-worker (who lost her H) and made her cry too, wait maybe that isn't a good example.  I'm not good with people.

    Damn - I was hoping you still had cranked up the radio - that is what I would've done, but I am a true *** at heart.

    Sorry to hear about your co-worker's loss though.
