A) offer to drive him to the airport that’s about .5 miles away (5 minute drive)

B) tell him to order an Uber since you know his work would pay for it

C) tell him to not be lazy and walk half a mile to the nearest public transportation stop, with all that luggage, and take public transit

I’ve been reading more about how there’s a difference between how men socialize and how women socialize at work.

Women however are more likely to separate their work friends and their social friends. I think I fall in this group. Cont in comment
