I'm curious how people deal with uncomfortable situations from things like family etc.
Things like the following seem to happen with my Mom, who quite frankly doesn't really understand me as a person even though I'm 32.
She wanted me to go pick up a friend of hers from the airport because she will be at work and it will be my day off. For reference, this friend isn't coming to visit or anything, they are just out of town. I've met the person maybe twice, and by met I mean said hi. I can't even tell you vaguely what he looks like or anything about him. But I'm an asshole because I don't want to spend 1.5-2 hours picking up some person I don't know, for no reason, so that they don't have to find someone else or get a taxi.
I've started to just accept it that she's going to view me as an asshole. I've tried explaining to her that it's pretty uncomfortable to me, and quite a lot to ask, but she'll just get pissed and ignore my existence for a while (which quite frankly is fine with me!)
