NO WAY!!!! You should confront her. Ask her to explain the logic behind her asking for gas money. That's just nuts.
-
Absolutely not. She should never have to resort to charging for anything. What kind of a friend would ask for favors that cost money without also offering right up front to pay for it.

....and that's your BEST friend? I can understand to some extent. Your friend is not a taxi. Fuel is expensive and time is precious. Everything costs money but it sounds like she's a bit excessive, however it sounds like you may be a bit dependant on her and that isn't a good thing either. My standard for myself is not to be a liabilty to anyone else. It sounds like you both need to meet somewhere in the middle.

No.I would ask her what she thinks washing and computer use is worth,then take it off the price of gas money.Either she's incredibly unaware of things or is a big user.You need to talk to her about this because it will only get worse and you'll be resentful.

I say No now the next time she wants to do wash or print something out on your printer tell her you have to charge for the ink and paper, or you have to charge for the water and electric for her to wash her clothes.

My bf lives 11 miles away so every time he comes over I give him enough for a half a gallon of gas just because I don't think it's fair for him to always have to pay. When we go somewhere like 6 flags or something far away everyone in the car pays an equal share of gas money. I have another friend who only charges gas money if she is taking you somewhere that she wouldn't be going anyway if you weren't there.
