After several years of getting stuck with driving all the time, and me working 2 days a week at a factory so I could pioneer, I started asking too. "Sorry, car's on empty, we have to go to the gas station, and I only have $2, so cough it up." Sometimes someone else would offer to drive instead, which was even better.
All that driving was exhausting, not to mention expensive, but I sure know how to drive backwards! I could drive backwards all around the city. Back up for a mile? Sure, no problem! The skills we learn... LOL
