Today, my exchange student asked me for a ride to a party at a friend's house that I didn't know about. When I said, "Oh, just let me change", she replied, "I just need the ride, you're not invited." FML

She isn't even allowed.. When you're an exchange student, there is a rule called the 3 D's. No drinking, No driving No dating So she shouldn't even go to that party

Wow you would've been fun to live with.!!! Kids can go to parties without doing those things they didn't come to this country to sit in the bedroom of an old couple. They came to experience life

I've met a ton of exchange students and have gone on a work exchange program and I have never heard of this "rule". It sounds more like a cautionary "don't do this or there could be unforseen consequences"

#47 I once seriously considered going on an exchange programme (I didn't qualify as I was too old at the time) and I remember them telling us those rules. If you broke them, you could be sent home immediately. However, I went on a home stay programme about a year or two later, which is pretty much the same as an exchange programme, and I don't remember them once telling us about the three Ds. So maybe it depends on the company you use. But yes, #27 is being unreasonable by saying that the exchange student can't go to the party. You can go out and not drink you know

These rules don't apply in Canada. I have participated in the exchange program myself as well as had many exchange students in my classes. You are expected to follow the laws of the country, ergo no underage drinking, driving without a licence etc, but dating is not part of those rules.

That has to suck OP, I would've told her to start walking.

If she was an exchange student it was likely a party between the kids and the parents wouldn't have a role in how many if you would've taken your parent to a party because they dropped you off?

I am assuming OP is the same age as her, normally with exchange students you have them come over for a bit and then later you go over to their country and live with them.

I get the feeling unlike for a taxi, she had no intentions of contributing anything
