Nobody forced me to take it. I just wasn't expecting it. This was in
Oakland. The friend I take stuff to sometimes lives in this state but it's
about an hour's drive to her house. I'm not going out there just to take a
loaf of bread. That's too much gas to waste. If we already have plans
together or if I have other business out that way, it's not a problem.
