Jannie, the people that used to live where I live now used to use me like that. I lived 5 door up from here. They were always borrowing cigarettes, food, cat food and litter, and when the old man totalled their car, it was take me here take me there, sometimes 2 or 3 times in one day. The first time, it's really, really hard... but say "Sorry, I can't do that. I'm too busy right now"... or whatever. You could suggest they use public transit. Don't think about the fact that it might be inconvenient for them. That's THEIR problem! If you have to, get your dander up! It makes it a whole lot easier to say "N-O". People like that are "Takers and Users." They'll keep taking as long as you let them and THEN some!!
