One day, when I was at work, my child called to say that the school hours were over and I had to pick him up. At first I thought of taking a taxi, but I decided to ask a college to go with her car because she comes to work with him. She refused me on the grounds that her bosses would not let her go without even asking them. Anyway, I went and came back in a taxi in less than 10 minutes, but something in me made me pull away from her, I didn't even talk to her. I know she didn't have to, but I think it's up to humanity. And if it was about her children, wouldn't she still be able to come out? Did I judge her correctly or is she right?

you are not
And what does your colleague owe you, she is still at work and hardly wants to shoot her bullets with other people's dirt.
Well no, you're not right. First, the fuel may have been limited and not convenient to tell you. Second, I wouldn't ask the bosses to let me go for someone else (unless it's a disease or something serious). I prefer, if necessary for me, to have eyes to ask them. Third, you are impudent.
Me, no, you're wrong. What's stopping you from taking a taxi? I understand that you were at a dead end and without an alternative to transport, or that you drove it in different places, then yes. In your case, however, I think it's cheeky.
Too many people are convinced that everyone owes them by default. That's a stupid reason to want someone to quit. If she had to go out 2 days later, how could she ask her boss if she could go out? It will become impudent already. And she may have lagged behind and didn't want to delay any longer. So expecting humanity is one thing, but forcing someone to quit their job is nonsense. Because that's not a good reason. I understand it was something really important, but it's not serious. It is foolish to be angry about such trifles.
Not only are you wrong, but you are brazen. Be aware a little. Nobody owes you.
Honey, you're wrong. At least, your colleague may not have had enough money for fuel ... I don't remember as a child at school, even if I finished earlier, someone taking a taxi to pick me up from school. Isn't that a little too much for a taxi? I also see in my fellow mothers a special tendency for everything to revolve around their children, to go out en masse or to be absent from work. I would know if the others didn't have to work for them all the time. I know that many women will attack me. They will say that one day you will be a mother. That's right. But with us, 50% of the mothers' outings are a lie to the boss and this is a little annoying. We came with a fever and barely walking. They never understand or comply if someone else has other tasks. I'm sorry, but if they paid me more, because I always work for them, I would agree. This is a new trend of the new generation of mothers. We have our salaries cut for a hospital, and we keep replacing them. Not fair. And if you ask me one day if I have a child, won't I do so: first, only if it is something urgent and second - I will not lie at the expense of the child, but to go and buy coffee at that time!
I think we should behave and my colleagues and I do. However, this is accidental. As for the fact that no one is obliged to do so, but where did we lose our eloquence? And if someone comes every day with his car and can maintain it, he is hardly up to two levs. If he is stuck, anyway, the author is obliged to offer money. It saves time, less time, the child will wait alone. Where did our kindness go? Apparently, everyone is on their own, which is terrible.
8, if someone decides to help, it is entirely a matter of his will, but he is not obliged, at least for trifles. Even less to be angry with him like in kindergarten.
Did you ask for the company car to go or did you want it to take you? There is a huge difference. If he disposes of the company car as a personal one, it is stupid of her. But if you expected him to drive you away ... I don't know what kind of eyes you asked. Not only do you have to leave work for personal reasons, but you also have to make your colleague go out during working hours if she is not a personal driver? What kind of humanity do you interfere with, learn work ethic.
And why didn't you grab the whole company to save the child, why only one colleague?
I never understood why if the child accidentally finishes earlier, he has to save himself from school in a second. Can't wait that long on the spot? As a student, no matter how early I finished, I was never taken. Nor do I remember any of my classmates running up to pick him up at the minute. I think we spoil today's children a lot.
Sorry, but taking / taking the child from school is a personal commitment and none of the colleagues is obliged to deal with it. It's as if you're immersed in work and a colleague asks you to quit your job and go to the dentist with him, because you understand he's afraid to go alone. Well, sorry but it's funny! Not to mention that you have an excuse to go out during working hours, but what if the bosses make a problem for your colleague? What will she shake? "We went to pick up X's child from school?" Well, I'm sorry, but who would risk creating problems at work because of a colleague's personal problems? In most companies, parents do not want to let go without a good reason, you have decided to run a company. I wish she had taken half the office in such a way that, you see, you can't pick up your child from school on your own. There are taxis, darling. And when necessary, you warn the bosses, leave, finish your personal work and return as quickly as possible, without occupying half the office with your personal problems. And I really don't know how big your child is, but if he's not very young, what's stopping him from sitting in the yard for a while and waiting for you? There are no blizzards outside or anything. I also have colleagues with cars, but now let me drive them around half the city during working hours every time I have to go out and do something personal. And it's not even an emergency! To call that your child has suffered something, to panic and seek help, but to do such things for a homework? !! Your colleague is right. She's there to work, not to do you a favor. without occupying half the office with your personal problems.

The author is in no way entitled to be angry with a colleague, especially for refusing help on a personal matter. It is time for some people to learn to distinguish from whom what kind of service they can ask for. Your colleagues are neither your family nor your friends, so you can afford to ask them for services related to your personal life, they are just colleagues and you should have a collegial relationship with them. Yes, you can ask them for help or advice at work, ask them to hide you twice from the boss for a mistake or delay or change your work shifts and so on and remember they have the right to deny you all this and you you have no right to be angry. You can only want such things to take you somewhere from relatives and close friends. I also understand the author that nowadays schools and kindergartens have regulations in which parents are obliged to provide a person to take every student up to 10 years of age from school and the teacher to sit until they take the last student. There is even a special law on child protection, according to which parents are obliged not to leave children without supervision and care until they are 12 years old. I think that the fine if a parent is caught in such a violation is BGN 3,000. But it is difficult to be a parent.
And lately, I've started to annoy a lot of mothers, even though I love children. Taking it by car is a kind of arrogance left over from the 90's, when taking you by car was a luxury. Now everyone is rushing to show their 20-year-old cockroach, not to lag behind the others. There is a school next to us and between 5.30 pm and 6.30 pm you can forget to go there. The funny thing is that 90% of children literally live on the neighboring streets and can go home 3 times faster than waiting for 10 minutes for their parents to push their car between 3 others and then just enough to get out. They constantly grumble that there was no one to look after their child, the child was hungry, either at his grandmother's, etc. Well, since you can't spend a normal working day, leave and look after your children. No one is obliged to endure the same tirades and complaints every day. I used to wonder why mothers with children are not hired in many places and I generally do not approve of it, but if someone will grumble at me and make faces on my face - thank you. How come there are women you don't even realize they have children, while in others you even know what they're wearing without ever seeing them. I leave aside the fact that with such an attitude and pampering some mothers score such an own goal that their imagination is poor. Then we see topics like "he doesn't study or work" and "he lies at home all day". Amy, very clear. They have been cared for better all their lives than in a 5-star hotel and now they want to make them make some effort. How to do it?

Well, you're not very right, but if she's your friend - you're right! If so, back off, if you have no reason to be angry. Maybe, but if she wants and has the opportunity :) Still, she may not have had fuel or, if she is cowardly, for her place, the child has not fallen to be urgent, to help so that she has a choice. Maybe she is not a helpful person, you know her better, but if she is close to you it is not normal :)
An acquaintance once asked me to take her on HER lunch break to a clinic to get results. I was at work, but it was out of humanity that I decided to take half an hour off. In a few days she wants me to take her somewhere else, again on her vacation, but I'm at work. I refused! Then he insisted on my vacation, I (supposedly not stupid, but stupidly still want to believe in people) agreed. So after 4-5 rides, I finally told her to buy a car or look for other ways, but I don't care anymore. Ooo, how bad I was then;) cheeky and impudent to the hole. Her colleagues then told me that no one lasts for her precisely because she is like that, the world hardly owes her. A few days after I cut it off, I drove past it, it was at a traffic light, the circuit board grinned at me, and I opened the car door directly to enter to drive it somewhere. I kicked it out rudely, it was just the tip of her audacity. Abe ... you're a little mistaken, yes, you're something like that. Even offended, .. she obviously knows you for that and has no intention of entering your "friends" column.
It depends on whether she is your friend and whether you did services first. If you are and she refuses to help you after that, then she is selfish and looks only at herself. If your girlfriend has no right to refuse you, why risk trouble to fix your personal problems?
to 17 My grandfather - God forgive him - had a joke. No matter how many services you do, you refuse only once and everything you have done so far is understood immediately.
I'm number 8, today it's very difficult to look after children. It is even more difficult to live in such a wrong world, now, man for man is a wolf. If the author is not arrogant and used, but a person in need and accidentally and has to take the child, what is the problem to take the child? Not to mention that their backpacks weigh 15 kg. They no longer have a school locker. If she has to, she'll take a taxi next time. And please take your selfishness back, I understand how much you cost. Once upon a time, in addition to colleagues, there was also friendship, synchronicity at work and outside of it. Now everyone is for himself, and then you click on the language in which times we live and raise your children in selfishness. And, if the author is impudent and impudent, as a person, then her colleague rightly refused. We do not know what the other side thinks about the issue. Come on, good health! The other is foreign to you.
Really - you lack work ethic. The colleague is right. I would help if it's really urgent, but not for something like that. You pamper your children a lot. I stayed at school for 2 hours waiting to be picked up and I did my homework during that time.
If he is going to risk leaving work to do personal business, and with the company car, let it be for his own child. From where to where do you ask such a question. You think your child, no one else is obliged to risk the bread you and your child's. And because of a stranger.
Хубаво е да си помагаме, но човекът отсреща наистина трябва да се нуждае от нашата помощ, а не един вид да не се мине, а да накара нас. В случая молбата за транспорт е все едно да се обадиш на приятел да отиде да ти напазари от магазина, защото теб те мързи. Иначе, наистина много хора се правят на приятели само докато имат полза от теб. Свърши ли ползата, свършва и "приятелството". Да не говорим, че ако ти дори само един път ги помолиш за нещо, винаги са много заети, а в същото време стане ли въпрос за тях са толкова нагли, че още малко ще дойдат и ще те изнесат от вас. Играл съм го тоя филм с мои супер близки "приятели", да не казвам най-добри. Последният път беше съвсем скоро. Трябваше ми малко помощ, буквално за 10 минути. Отсвири ме още преди да му кажа защо звъня. Но пък в крайна сметка така разбираш на кого можеш да разчиташ.
Number 8/20 Hey, such trifles are the worst. "But what are 5 leva for you", "But only for 20 minutes". Wow! Thank you for not appreciating my time, money, effort and energy at all. "Not to mention that their backpacks weigh 15 kg. It is no longer a school locker." - School locker? Even if we assume that they are everywhere, tell me, what - you leave the textbooks in the locker and go home? Do you have two copies (because I knew such children)? And the fact that the backpacks are 15 kilograms is nonsense. They fit, about 5.5 kilograms, if you cram EVERYTHING, for each item. But they will rarely be 2-2.5 kg. If your child is unable to carry 2.5 kg on his back, then your child needs emergency medical care and professional care. Author - You have nothing to be angry about. You dealt with your problem all by yourself,
I'm number 8 again. As I read you, I thought that maybe the bosses are important as well. Some are human, others are not. For some it even happens to let you go a few hours early for an urgent engagement, for others it is absurd. And why is it so foreign to you to reach out? I don't know, everyone looks through his eyes. And you're right it's at work, but there is another point of view. I also know employers who are people.
The problem of the majority is that you expect a return of service or praise, a special attitude after doing good, gratitude ... Just do good because you want to do good, and God sees, and the warm, joyful feeling of good done is important. and to please people or to ask for gratitude is not the goal of good.
I liked some comments. And I think that many mothers with children go too far with their privileges and whims. Because of such a group, all mothers are looked down upon. We have several women who regularly bring their babies to the office. I love children, but somehow you can't do your job properly. As for the author, you are very wrong. For example, I would never leave work to do another a favor, even if he did it for me. I can cover it, but I can't deal with it.
8 - one is humanity, another is ligatures. By no means can I agree that finishing school early is an urgent commitment. In our company we avoid hiring mothers with small children precisely because they are impudent. One such colleague came out without warning, 2 hours before the end of working hours, because her child had a recital. And is this an urgent commitment? Let's understand one thing - that your children bring you joy and you want to be with them at every important moment is your personal business. No one else is obliged to comply with this. Humanity can occur when a child is ill or has an accident, for example. But with everything else you really overdo it.
H 26 NO, the problem is that such people (I think you are the author) take advantage and hang around someone's neck waiting for you to "serve" you with everything and at any time. On top of that, you don't even consider people's personal time and commitments. Yours is definitely insolence! Personally, I don't need to be thanked for such nonsense, as long as I have helped a person, not a leech. I have helped, I am helping and I will help when I can and within reason, but I will not allow myself to be used! Help yourself so that others can help you! From 17
I am 26. Hey, because of people like you, I've never asked for a favor in my life, even if they offered it to me, I didn't agree, but I help, I like it, even though I see unconscious, young souls, actually, that's exactly why I help because it helps - the one who is more mature, more aware, without asking in return, so it is normal for the majority not to be capable of selfless care, you are not at a high level in your spiritual evolution, but you are more as a number on Earth, so being the majority you consider yourself right, but good is not measured in quantity.
Number 8, your child to catch a taxi or other transport is not an urgent commitment. This everyday household tasks. You can't leave work for such things, because you will have to do it several times a day. Most people have children, but they don't go after them for nothing. If everyone did so, all factories and plants would have to stop 10 times a day, because one went out to pick up the child, another to buy him textbooks, a third to take him to dances, and so on. Everyone can organize these things themselves during non-working hours. This is not reaching out, these are pampering and impudence. By your logic, I'm going to have a few beers tonight and I won't be able to drive, and I guess you have a car and it won't cost you anything to drive me and then bring me back to us. So why give money for taxis.
Number 24, are you serious? For me, you are petty, I said that the author is obliged to offer money. And, yes, doesn't it sound like a very troubled woman. And ask, I didn't guess, how many parents carry their children's backpacks, and then he tells me that if he can't carry it, then he has a health problem. No, darling, after wearing it regularly, the child begins to have a health problem. Come on, remember. What can I explain to you, you are far from these things. In principle, however, I will not argue with you, because I agree that some mothers go too far with excuses that involve children. However, do not put all under one denominator. Come with health!
Wow, there are a lot of evil people! Where are you hiding - People?
