my husband takes my cuz bf to work since they work at the same place. from the time he started he wanted a ride from him and he said yes. but he never took the ride until his friends that work there ain't reliable but my husband is. he told him he would give him 40 bucks every 2 weeks. since that's how they get paid. he was paying him and now this fri. will be a month that he hasn't paid him. he drives 5 miles out of his way taking him to work and droping him off and sometimes more if he has to go to the store. plus he waits 10 more min longer waiting on him. if he wouldn't pay me i wouldn't be taking him to work. is that wrong to tell the person that? he has no bills really lives with my aunt and uncle. should i ask for the money or should my husband ask? and really it's not my husband job to make sure he gets to work. what would you do? be like me and ask for it and don't get it then don't show up to pick him up. no call nothing. no money no ride! is this wrong to be like that?

Ok I didn't really follow your story. You need to add in some commas, periods and learn some decent punctuation.
As far as I can tell, if one party agreed to pay the driver $40 every 2 weeks, then that's what they should stick to. It isn't the drivers responsibility to ensure the other person gets there on time, nor is it his responsibility to drive him to the store, or wait for him. You have to let this delinquent know: Look you owe me $120 so far, from all the weeks of driving you, and I need to pay my bills.
Ask for the money. He earned it, and deserves it. Although I'd say that YOU should ask for the money, being as you're related to the cousin... (right?) Or ask your aunt and uncle to pay for driving your cousin.

This is one of those things that is on your husband's shoulders. He's the one that's doing the picking up and dropping off, he needs to be collecting the money. I would advise your husband to either collect the money or stop taking him. Maybe set up a schedule so that he can get caught up, but the thing is, a verbal contract was made, and it needs to be adhered to. The young man that is your cousin is never going to learn responsibility if he never has to be responsible. If your cousin doesn't like it, sorry. The two of you should stick to your guns. Your husband is doing him a huge favor by picking him up. Maybe as incentive, offer to deduct $5 from his bill if he doesn't make your husband wait for him either... just a thought.

No. I use to take my sister to work. She works down the street from me but she lives out of the way. I usually don't charge but when I'm low on money I expect her to help out. She does'nt but was paying our sister-in-law $50.00 a week just to pick her up from work. She caught a cab there. I only asked for $20.00 which is a steal. She lives with my mom and has no children. People pay who they want and have to pay. They take advantage of nice people. Cut the sucker off.

Your husband should just say something like, "Do you think you could help me out with the gas? We're trying to save more money." It might work. The guy sounds selfish. You could talk to your cousin about it, ask her if she knows that her boyfriend isn't paying like he said he would.
