Input: So I’m (21m) currently in pharmacy school and for the past year or so I’ve been commuting (about 30-45 mins one way) to school from my place by myself. Colleague/friend (30m) who lived very close to campus ran into some financial troubles and had to move back home about 10 mins from where i live. He doesn’t have a license let alone a car so he asked me if he could catch a ride with me on school days since we have the exact same schedules. 

This has been going on for around 2 weeks now - he’d uber to my place in the mornings and head to college then I’d drop him off home after (15 min detour from my house) and head home. He doesn’t compensate me in any way nor have I asked but I’m okay with this since he’s a friend. 

Recently though I’ve found myself wanting to make plans after college with friends at places away from our town. Not to mention that I pick up some extra shifts at work so he has to wait for me 2-3 days of the week to get out of work at 9pm. Several times I’ve hinted that he should catch rides on the way back instead with other colleagues who live literally right down my road so he doesn’t have to wait for me but he doesn’t seem to be getting the hint. Any of my plans, whether they be recreational or work related, are pretty spontaneous so I wouldn’t be giving him much notice but there isn’t anything I can do about that. 

A part of me feels like I would be an ass if I changed my plans suddenly on him but on the other hand, it’s my car, it’s my gas, there’s no compensation and I go out of my way to drop him off home every night anyways. we have no agreement on anything I’m just doing him a favor for the time being. I’m happy to continue giving him lifts but I don’t want my schedule to be tied up around me requiring to take him to and from college every day. 

Would I be the asshole?
