It is a true point but it is hard to get the balance right. My sister lives in Manchester city centre and always walks back at night after going out with her friends. Modern women want to be independence. No matter what I should never left her stranded at that bus stop, even if it did cost me £40 I would have made sure she got back. Her flat is near the bus stop so once she was on the bus the chance is she would be ok. She lives no where near me at all, she lives in the city centre, I live in a suburb.
I kept trying to put her off coming but she insisted she could get the bus etc. It wasn't practical for me to go back into the city centre with her as it was miles and miles away from where I needed to go, but I admit I should have given her taxi money, but she would have refused to take it anyway given the fact she now owes me close to £500 in total.
Incidentally she is now angry with me not because I left her there, but because I got my mates to check up on her.
Maybe I have been a horrible idiot for leaving here, but I honestly knew there was no real danger once she was on the bus, and the bus was due every 10-15 minutes. An other female friend we were with got her bus, but of course we were busy waiting for the tram which never turned up.
