Reply to comment by EhrenScwhab in The Silver Line to Dulles is a bigger deal than I thought it would be by MrMoustachio55

To be fair you're asking someone to drive 2+ hours round trip if they're coming from DC, and since they're driving they can't even fully participate in the activity you're inviting them to do.

I'll make that drive and stay sober no problem for a fun activity you can only do in the boonies - hiking, kayaking, biking, etc. But asking someone to drive an hour each way to nurse a couple beers on the couch while you never have to leave your house is definitely a lopsided ask. At least meet them at a bar in the middle somewhere.

He's not driving. He's taking the metro. Which now that the Silver Line is done, goes to about 5 minutes away from my home. Plus crashing at my place. He and I constantly trade barbs about how neither wants to come to the others house but we always manage to make it work, being friends and all. Thanks for the lecture though.
