r-b,
The only difference is she didn’t express them to the baal chesed, where as the guy I offered a ride to did.
First of all, that’s a big difference. People vent here in a way they never would in real life (for better or worse).
Second of all, mytake wasn’t taking advantage (with that expression’s negative connotation) of the “baalas chessed”. your ride did take advantage of (in your words, abuse) you.
Third of all, you in no way (according to your post) did anything to inconvenience your passenger. The driver in mytake’s case did.
