I went to my friend’s house and I was wearing a dress and new flip flops. He is always asking for favors and never really does anything in return because I’m not one to ask for much help. Yesterday he needed help moving his old 80s Ford truck that hasn’t moved for years out of his driveway. He went in my purse and grabbed my keys thinking he was going to put a mattress in between my 2005 Silverado front and his Ford that doesn’t run and push it to his back yard with my truck. I have a tow package so i offered to tow it to the back yard for him, however refused to push his truck with the mattress in between our trucks. He called me difficult and negative and told me to go home.

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the asshole:
> I helped move the truck to the back yard because it has a hitch and tow package. I did not want to scratch my front end up Actions why i might be the asshole is because i didn’t know if that’s a common practice and he made it seem like it was.

not gonna smash my truck so you don’t have to use a tow strap that’s not me being rude that’s just common sense
Fuck this person.
Get distance from them, let them figure out life alone.
Or don’t
NTA even with a mattress in-between the weight of his truck could still damage your bumper, grill or whatever
ESH.
Your “friend” for basically stealing your car for a joyride, albeit short one. You for hanging around with such a loser. So, take his advice: go home, and never come back. Ever.
NTA LOL you offered to do it correctly and he refused and kicked you out because you wouldn’t go with his dumb ass plan. your friend sounds like a moron.
NTA
I hope you took his advice and went home. He went in your purse? Don’t hang out with this guy
NTA. So this guy grabs your purse to get your keys, and it’s only when you ask what he’s doing that he *tells you* what he plans to do with your truck. When you offer to help him in a more reasonable way, he insults you and kicks you out.
Are you sure this is your friend?
He’s grabbing your keys out of your purse? He’s calling you names and telling you to leave when you suggested a reasonable alternative?
This is not a friend.
NTA
When you push another car with your own, all the person in the pushed car has to do is make some stupid mistake like hit the brakes and you have $5K in damage to your vehicle that will not be covered by insurance (you used vehicle in a manner it was not intended to be used and it occurred on private property).
So, NTA.
And if this guy went into your purse without your permission, got your keys, you caught him, and then HE CALLED YOU NAMES AND PLAYED THE VICTIM? Ghost him and move on. You need a better friend.
Girl – I would have got my keys and went home- and never look back- not a friend.
NTA. I hope you’ve left his house, for good. Sounds like the type of idiot who would damage your truck, and then say “Nah, it’s not that bad.”
The audacity to get in another person’s purse. That’s not your friend that’s someone who uses you.
If you are going to push a vehicle with another a loose tire between the two is the move. I’ve pushed several this way but only for a few get and on really flat ground. That said I’m not pushing anything with someone else’s vehicle and lots of things have to be just right to pull it off.
His willingness to just grab your keys in order to very likely cause damage to your truck would be like a starter pistol for me…I would put that one in the rear view…
Also, the condition of your truck makes zero difference..even if your truck was a hoopty, it is NOT HIS DECISION !!
Keep in mind, as we grow and age, not everyone needs to stay in our orbit just because they have been there for a while..
It’s nice when the garbage takes itself out, isn’t it? NTA.
>I went to my friend’s house and I was wearing a dress and new flip flops.
Does this have anything to do with the story?
You should have gone home and never go back. Dude sounds like a loser and a leech.
NTA
Nowhere in the rules does it state that because you have an idiot friend, you have to volunteer your car as tribute.
With these types of friends, you’re perfectly allowed to opt out of their endeavor to sit back and watch them break their own shit and not yours.
