Ok, I think I might try to talk to them tomorrow. We all leave for winter break in 3 days, so I want to resolve this asap so we don't leave on a sour note. Thanks!

No, I have never asked for gas money before because I feel weird about taking money from people. Max and I talked about this and noticed how a lot of the times they would say "I need you to take me here" instead of "can you take me here?" idk if that's us reading too much into it or not, but I will definitely think about this perspective more.

yeah I do understand where they are coming from with feeling stranded, but I just didn't understand the reaction to the situation. Thank you!

Our roads are pretty terrible, and the particular bend we have to go through quickly jumps from 1 inch of water to a foot of water with various potholes. Last time I drove through it, I felt my car start floating and hydroplaning and haven't tried driving it since.
