A touchy situation.
Some people are happy to have some (any) gas money chipped in and some are annoyed feel like they are being taken advantage of.
Personally when "Friend C discovers the situation and asks if he can ride along." I'd feel taken advantage of. Because it wasn't offered, it was asked and asked in a way that wasn't really something that could be refused. But I know that others feel differently.
I just hate when people think that precisely half the cost of gas is what it costs for them to use me as a car service. And, hello, my issue. Then there are people who are welcome in my car any time and I never would expect a penny from them. Basically, it's all complicated with Other Stuff.
I agree with most of what has been said, but mostly with what Vortex said about setting expectations at the outset. It is not fair for A to assume the others will read his mind, no matter what he thinks is fair.
He can set the rules, it's his car, and the riders are gaining the benefit of car service, avoiding buses, etc. etc. However, being upset with them for not being receptive to his mind control just doesn't make sense.
Chalk this one up as a bad job and be more clear next time out.

I expected an echidna
That? Would be awesome. Ok, here it is: [link]
Speaking of cars, I just PAID MINE OFF!!!!
Excellent!
I found my W-2. That's a good start. Now to do the actual taxes.
Is there a right way to walk through a door while using crutches, when it's the kind of door that swings shut if you don't hold it open?
Dunno if it's the right way, but this is what I do. Mind you, I use forarm crutches. So if you got the wooden ones, it might be a bit different. Basically I use the crutch as a pivot point, so I can yank the door open, then, quick as a bunny I put the crutch down as a door peg to keep it open. As if taking a step. Then step thru the doorway. Depending on the door, sometimes the bottom of the crutch gets caught under the door, and either requires a slight rotation to free it, or a slight push/punch of the knuckles to push the door off of the crutch tip. Hope that helps!

Hil, that was for the pull direction. For push, very similar, only push and plop stick to keep door open, and make sure you clear the door before you release the stick from being a door prop.
