People care a lot about how they want their cars to be maintained, and it makes sense. Cars are not just costly; they are necessary for many people. Sometimes, folks have to save money for a long time or borrow money to buy a car. Research shows that the average price for a new car is now $48,763, which is much higher than the $37,876.18 it used to be before the COVID-19 pandemic. Because cars are so expensive, people are cautious about letting others borrow them. There’s a story on the AITA subreddit that illustrates this. The person sharing the story (OP) said their boyfriend wanted to borrow their car to visit a doctor. They were hesitant because their boyfriend wasn’t very experienced at driving. Eventually, they agreed, but only if he promised to return the car immediately after the doctor’s visit.
However, the boyfriend returned an hour and a half later than promised because he ran some personal errands. This disrupted OP’s tight schedule, and they had to let down their roommate, who was relying on them for something important. As a result, OP decided not to let their boyfriend use their car anymore. Unfortunately, the boyfriend didn’t take it well and started throwing tantrums. Now, OP is seeking the Reddit community’s opinion to see if their decision was fair. Scroll down to see what the final verdict is.
