I am on my 2 week vacation from work.I have a friend who's car broke down and has no money to fix it.She wants me to take her to and from work for the next 10 days.She doesn't have a set schedule at work and gets off work anytime from 2 hours after she gets there up to 11 hours later and would have to call me each day when shes finished to pick her up. Am I being "unchristian" to tell her no?

the only christian thing to say in this case would be:

"pray and god will fix your car"

or

"Your car breaking down is god's punishment for your sins"

So yes

Honestly I think that your religion should be the last thing you consider in this situation. Consider things like, "What would I want to be done if I were the one needing a ride?" "Did I take this vacation because I was burned out and needing time to myself?" Things like that. Your religion has nothing to do with it. I think it would be an incredibly nice thing to do if you agreed to take her to and from work for the next ten days... but if you feel like it will be too much of a hassle for you, maybe agree to the first five days and tell her to find someone else after that, or just be up front with her and tell her you can't.

thats tough. but since you basically gotta build your schedule around her basically non existent schedule i would say its ok to say no because its not fair to you to have to figure out how to make it work if she dont know her hours.. tell her if she can talk to her work, let em know she getting a ride and if they can tell her a few hours in advance so you know when to pick her up. if that could work??

Have you already made plans? That is kinda inconsiderate of her to begin with. I mean, I'll choose to walk before I ask someone for a ride. I'm not encouraging an "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" mentality, but if she has done favors for you, then you do owe her this. AND,it would be really nice if you helped her out.
