Using a throwaway so it’s not linked to my main.
My partner works Sunday evenings. I don’t. They tend to sleep until 15-30 minutes before they need to be at work. They’ve recently been asking if I can fill up their car with gas before they go to work on sundays because they don’t have time to get ready for work, get gas, and get to work on time.
For a while, I was doing it because it wasn’t much of a bother for me. I would take their car and go to the gas station and get snacks or drinks or go to Dunkin and get a coffee. I would also sometimes take the car while they were asleep and get gas and go to the grocery store because I had to get groceries anyways. They also didn’t ask every week, just most. I’ve also told them they should fill up before Sunday so it isn’t such a rush. Or wake up earlier. They said they would try. But I also didn’t mind doing it if I had a reason to go out.
It snowed last night through today where we live. I had no plans to go out because I don’t like driving in the snow unless I truly have to. I went to the grocery store yesterday before the snow started and I stocked up on all my drinks and snacks so I wouldn’t have to drive in the snow. I was also still in my pajamas because I was looking forward to a comfy day inside.
They asked me if I could fill their car up with gas again today. I said no, I don’t like driving in the snow especially in a car that’s not mine. They said it’s not far to the gas station and they had to get ready for work. I repeated that I don’t feel comfortable driving their car in the snow and I don’t need to go out for anything so I won’t do it.
They were upset because I refused to go out and fill up the car with gas. They left for work upset and didn’t even say goodbye and later texted me that they couldn’t fully finish getting ready for work and were a few minutes late to work because they had to stop to get gas.
AITA for not filling the car with gas before my partner went to work even though I have been doing it often in the past?
