Entitled friend asks a friend to pick her up at the airport, changes the flight and arrival time without telling her and gets upset when the friend refuses to adjust to last minute changes: 'She felt like I'd left her stranded'

Our friends are not our personal chauffeurs, and if they offer to do us a favor, we'd better respect their time and their other occupations. In this case, that didn't happen. A friend asked another friend to pick her up at the airport after a trip. The plane was supposed to arrive at 7pm, which was fine. On the day the plane was going to arrive, the friend called the traveler to confirm the schedule, after which the friend told her she had changed her flight and would be arriving at midnight. She had changed the flight days ago and never bothered to check on her friend to see if she could still pick her up. The friend told her that it was no longer possible for her to pick her up, since she had to get up early the next day for work, to which the other friend reacted badly, saying that she was "leaving her stranded."Here we have a textbook case of entitlement. If the girl traveling never bothered to tell her friend that the time of arrival had changed, why did she assume it would be okay for her to pick her up anyway? She never consulted, never even let her know. She has no right to demand someone else spend their time how she wants it, or to do her favors just because. Everyone ha…
