Today, I fear I may have broken my ankle. I called a friend who I knew would be in my area later today anyway and asked if she could give me a lift to the nearest A&E. She told me to get a taxi. FML

You shouldn't expect favors from someone, most friends would do you that favor if they were able to. I assume in this case your friend has other prerogatives. Sorry you have to pay for the taxi!

Unfortunately a broken ankle isn't an emergency. Especially if you called a friend rather than an ambulance. People can't drop their lives in a second to help. Now it'd be different if your friend was home not doing anything.

I think you need a new friend!

Just because your friend was in the area doesn't mean she's available to give you ride. Though, she probably could have been nicer about it.
