Asking a stranger for a lift home

Pandoren

OK, the title sounds kinda dangerous, but it's not like that 

I volunteer on Thursdays and up until now, have been getting lifts home from mum's husband... except last two weeks he's not been able to do it, so one of my supervisors arranged me a lift with the same guy (who I have only met those two times) who lives near me. I actually got told off for this last week for not having my lift home arranged and definite, and I assured her my usual arrangements would apply this week... except after I got home he dropped the bombshell he can't collect me for the next two weeks... How do I ask this guy if getting a lift home with him could be a permanent arrangement? Undecided

  • I think she just wants me to do it herself, it's not her job to assure my way home every week. Honestly, I think when she read through my application form, she may not have paid that much attention to the box marked "is there any medical condition we should be aware of?" or perhaps doesn't know what Asperger's involves (I'm no Sheldon Cooper!).

    No, it's not permanent, but it is awkward him picking me up on the occasions when he does. I managed to stumble through asking this guy earlier today and he's ok with it thankfully. I must have sounded pretty weird though lol
