Hi Everyone,
Please let me know how you would interpret this conversation:
person 1: "Hi, is your car available tomorrow from 2:20 - 4:00 pm"
person 2: "dunno" "if you need it, should be fine"
person 1: "Thanks, just to manhattan and back"
Would you take the sentence "should be fine" as a confirmation - that you can use that person's car tomorrow (and not have to worry about arranging another car)
This has been bugging me for a few days - because person 2 claims that it wasn't a confirmation - but a "perhaps"
I want to make sure that
1. my question was clear, that I needed to use his/her car at a specific time
2. I did not need to worry about getting another car - I can use his/her car the next day
let me know!
thanks!

I think it would be clear to me but could have been said more clearly like so I can for sure have the car tomorrow.. I could see where there is room for person b to misunderstand.
Also, if person b was DH, men sometimes need things spelled out for them.

for some people, ot should be fine, means that its prob ok but I have to double check.
personally, I would have understood it as its fine to use, bec it is for the next day but for next time just follow it up with - so can I come around 2:00 to pick it up?

I wouldn't be sure- would probably repeat to make sure it's ok.

I would have clarified "so I will pick up the car tomorrow at 2:20-okay?"
And make sure I get a positive response-not "I guess so, maybe"

Let me get this straight. You are asking for a favor, but are unhappy that the person isn't committing to helping you 100% ?
I think you should ask someone else for this favor.
