I 26m work full-time for a Police department as one of their tow truck operators. On a given day I will do anything and everything from picking up seized vehicles to helping officers if their cars break down/get damaged. While I love my job and am proud of it the same thing can’t be said for my 16F sister Emily. This has led to my current issues with her and our parents over the favors I do for them every school year.

For years now during the school year, one of the things I do is drive Emily and her friends home after school. I do this to spare the parents having to make the 20-35 minute drive twice a day. This hasn’t been an issue until this year when a new dress code into effect for all of us tow truck drivers. Two weeks ago as part of a push for safety, all of us got new uniforms that were designed to replicate what our officers wear.

Since adopting them they have done their job well as more people are slowing down and moving over for us. This sadly is where the problems begin as Emily and her friends hate this new uniform and find it embarrassing. As a result of this, they have been demanding I change every day before I go to pick them up. My response to this has always been no and that they need to suck it up if they want a ride.

Not happy with this they complained to my parents a week ago who tried to get me to cave to their demands. When I told them no as well this led to a huge argument in which I decided to stop helping them. This has led to the other parents getting upset as now Emily and her friends have to use public transit which takes them an hour to get home.

Am I the asshole?
